Senior Backend Engineer

What you will do

Technical ownership

• Own the backend architecture end-to-end Java 8, Spring Boot, Flowable, Keycloak, and Postgres on AWS, over an Asterisk + SIP telephony core.
• Write production-quality code and set the standard for the rest of the team.
• Make independent architecture decisions and flag risks early.
• Review all code before it goes to production.

Team leadership

• Lead in-house backend and frontend developers daily.
• Break down product requirements into clearly defined developer tasks.
• Unblock developers when they are stuck — do not wait for problems to escalate.
• Run the team’s daily rhythm — morning standup and end-of-day close-out.
• Daily updates to the founder — what was done, what is blocked, what is planned for tomorrow.

Roadmap ownership

• Sit with the founder to build and maintain a rolling 3-month technical roadmap.
• Translate business priorities into sequenced engineering sprints.
• Track sprint progress and flag deviations before they become delays.

What you must have

• 6+ years of backend-heavy software engineering experience.
• Demonstrable experience leading or mentoring junior developers.
• Deep Java and Spring Boot at production level.
• Strong on AWS (EC2, S3, IAM), REST APIs, and Postgres.
• Comfortable making architecture decisions without handholding.

Nice to have

• Fintech, NBFC, or BFSI domain experience.
• VoIP, Asterisk, SIP, or telephony stack exposure.
• Experience integrating AI or LLM APIs, STT systems, or voice agents.
• Familiarity with TRAI regulations, the RBI Fair Practices Code, or the DPDP Act 2023.
