About the Role
We are looking for a Senior / Staff-level Full Stack Engineer with strong system design expertise and practical experience applying AI tooling in real-world development environments. This is a high-impact role focused on designing and evolving platform architecture, modernising legacy systems, and integrating AI-driven capabilities into both engineering and product workflows.
You will operate with a high degree of autonomy in a fast-paced, low-process environment, contributing not only to technical decisions but also to product direction and commercial outcomes.
This role requires a pragmatic mindset, the ability to work with ambiguity, and a strong sense of ownership in defining and solving complex problems.
Responsibilities
β’ Design and evolve system architecture across platform infrastructure, including complex and high-scale environments.
β’ Lead architectural decisions and make pragmatic trade-offs across the full technology stack.
β’ Refactor and modernise legacy codebases using AI-assisted development workflows.
β’ Build and integrate AI agents and automation into development, product, and operational processes.
β’ Contribute to product strategy and commercial decisions, not just technical execution.
β’ Work across backend systems, primarily using modern backend technologies such as Golang where applicable.
β’ Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to define problems and shape technical direction.
β’ Operate independently in a high-velocity environment, driving initiatives from concept to delivery.
β’ Ensure systems are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with long-term business goals.
β’ Leverage cloud infrastructure to support system performance, reliability, and growth.
Requirements
β’ 8+ years of experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on system design and architecture.
β’ 6+ years of experience in system design and architecture, including designing scalable and complex systems.
β’ 2+ years of practical experience using AI tooling in development (e.g. LLMs, agents, automation workflows).
β’ 5+ years of experience in backend engineering, preferably with Golang or similar technologies.
β’ 3+ years of experience working with cloud and infrastructure, preferably AWS.
β’ 2+ years of experience in legacy system refactoring and modernisation.
β’ Strong product thinking and commercial awareness, with the ability to contribute beyond pure engineering.
β’ Proven experience working across the full stack and making pragmatic technical trade-offs.
β’ Experience leading projects or major technical initiatives.
β’ Ability to work effectively with incomplete information and shape direction.
β’ Strong ownership mindset with the ability to define and solve problems independently.
Nice to Have
β’ Experience building or integrating AI agents into engineering or product workflows.
β’ Exposure to fintech, payments, or platform-based systems.
β’ Experience working in high-growth or startup environments.
β’ Strong interest in leveraging AI to improve engineering velocity and system design.
Benefits
β’ Fixed Shifts: 12:00 PM - 9:30 PM IST (Summer) | 1:00 PM - 10:30 PM IST (Winter)
β’ No Weekend Work: Real work-life balance, not just words
β’ Day 1 Benefits: Laptop and full medical insurance provided
β’ Support That Matters:Mentorship, community, and forums where ideas are shared
β’ True Belonging: A long-term career where your contributions are valued
