### As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be a technical leader on the team — owning the design and delivery of complex, high-scale backend services and integrations that power multi-channel ecommerce. You'll set architectural direction, take on our hardest problems, and mentor other engineers, all while staying hands-on in the code. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role for someone who leads through technical excellence.
### How you will achieve success:
* Lead the design and architecture of complex, high-scale services and integrations, from concept to production.
* Drive technical direction and make the key architectural decisions that shape the team's roadmap.
* Mentor and guide engineers, and raise the bar through thoughtful design and code reviews.
* Own ambiguous, high-impact problems end-to-end — breaking them down and driving them to delivery.
* Champion reliability, observability, automation, and operational excellence.
* Partner closely with Product, Data, Infrastructure, and other engineering teams.
* Stay hands-on: write high-quality, maintainable, well-tested code.
### What experiences will help you in this role:
* 7+ years of backend software engineering experience.
* Deep system design and distributed systems expertise — you've designed and owned systems at scale.
* A track record of technical leadership: mentoring engineers, influencing architecture, and setting engineering standards.
* Excellent problem-solving skills, a strong sense of ownership, and comfort with ambiguity.
* Strong with cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure), microservices, and event-driven architecture.
* Strong debugging, testing, and documentation skills.
* Excellent communication and cross-team collaboration.
* Nice-to-have: experience with high-throughput or marketplace/ecommerce systems.
### We invest heavily in our engineers. Here's what you can expect:
* **Fully remote work** — work from anywhere in India, with the creative freedom and work-life balance to do your best work.
* **Very competitive salary** — we benchmark aggressively to attract top engineering talent.
* **Industry-leading health coverage** — health insurance up to **₹30 Lakh**, covering you, your family, **and your parents**.
* **Generous paid leave** — a time-off policy that lets you truly recharge and prioritize your wellbeing.
* **Employer of Record (EOR) engagement** — we handle payroll and tax compliance so you don't have to.
