India · Full-time · Entry

Software Engineer (Backend)

About The Role

Looking for a hands-on Backend Developer who has independently built and shipped core features using Node.js/Python and SQL databases. The role demands ownership of end-to-end delivery, from understanding business use cases to deploying and maintaining stable backend services.

Responsibilities

Own features end-to-end : requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
Work on complex functionalities, not just minor bug fixes or cosmetic changes.
Design efficient SQL schemas, write optimized queries, and ensure data integrity.
Collaborate closely with frontend and product teams to ship complete, user-facing features.
Participate in code reviews, improve code quality, and maintain high engineering standards.
Troubleshoot production issues and drive root-cause fixes with a big-picture view of the system.

Must-Have Skills & Profile

1 to 2 years of experience as a backend developer.
Strong in Node.js, TypeScript/JavaScript, and SQL (MySQL or similar RDBMS) SQL is mandatory.
Proven track record of independently building and owning features or modules in production systems.
Strong grasp of web fundamentals : HTTP, REST APIs, authentication, request-response lifecycle.
Experience working on Linux-based environments and Git/GitHub workflows.
Awareness of how their module fits into the larger product architecture and business goals.

Bonus / Brownie Points

Strong open-source contributions (GitHub links), especially to web/backend projects.
Participation in GSoC, hackathons, Codeforces/competitive programming, or similar platforms.
Internships at strong or reputed product/tech companies with real feature ownership.
Experience integrating with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP) and basic DevOps exposure.

What We Do Not Want

Primarily ML/AI profiles or candidates whose main work is in data science/ML pipelines.
Candidates whose experience is limited to minor bug fixes, CSS tweaks, or small refactors with no major feature ownership.
