Role Overview:

We are looking for Associate Software Engineers/Software Engineers with strong computer science fundamentals and early hands-on experience of how real software gets built, reviewed and shipped. You will build backend services and APIs.

This is a role for engineers who want to learn fast in a small, high-calibre team. You will work alongside experienced engineering managers and senior engineers, with engineering levels and practices modelled on India’s top product companies. 

Key Responsibilities:

Key Skills

 Own the design and delivery of backend services, APIs and microservices end to end — from design and development through deployment, monitoring and iteration.

 Participate in on-call rotations for the systems you build. 

 Design scalable, reliable and secure systems: data models, API contracts, caching strategies, and asynchronous, event-driven workflows. 

 Write design documents, make well-reasoned technical decisions, and defend them with clear trade-offs; constructively challenge proposed solutions, including those from senior engineers and leadership. 

 Build to a healthcare quality bar, with strong automated testing, security and data-privacy practices — audit trails, role-based access control and encryption of sensitive data, in line with regulations such as the DPDP Act. 

 Review code and help raise engineering standards across the team. 

 Mentor and unblock Associate Software Engineers through pairing, design discussions and reviews.  

 Instrument services with logging, metrics and alerting, and use them to diagnose issues, troubleshoot production problems, and optimize performance and reliability. 

 Use AI coding assistants and agents across the development lifecycle — design, coding, testing and debugging — while owning every line you ship, whether you or an AI wrote it, and following strict guardrails so patient information is never exposed to unapproved AI tools. 

 Help shape the team’s AI-assisted engineering practices — shared agent configurations, project context and rules files, guardrails and review standards.

Ideal Candidate Profile

Must have 

 3–4 years of backend development experience, including at least 3 years at internet product companies (e.g., consumer internet, e-commerce, fintech, marketplaces or classifieds). 

 Experience taking at least one product or major feature through the full development lifecycle — design, build, launch and operation at scale.  Strong programming skills in Java or Python, with experience in frameworks such as Spring Boot or FastAPI. 

 Proficiency in AI-assisted development: using coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to plan, implement, test and refactor — and knowing when not to trust their output. 

 Strong problem solving and data structures and algorithms fundamentals. 

 Solid low-level design skills: object-oriented design, design patterns, class design and clean API contracts. 

 System design ability: explain and defend the architecture of systems you have built, and design new systems from scratch with clear reasoning on scalability, availability and consistency trade-offs. 

 Hands-on experience with relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), caching (Redis), and messaging or streaming systems (Kafka or similar). 

 Strong communication skills, with the confidence to engage senior stakeholders, including clinicians. 

 High ownership, comfort with ambiguity, and a hustler’s energy to build from the ground up — without compromising on quality. 

 A product mindset — curiosity about how hospitals work, and care for the outcome for the user, not just the ticket. 

 Depth over frequent switches — we value engineers who have stayed long enough in their roles to see their work through. 

Good to have 

 Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows. 

 Experience with cloud platforms (preferably AWS), and comfort working across cloud and on-premise environments. 

 Experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into production systems. 

 Experience building agents or automations for engineering workflows — e.g., test generation, code review, migrations or documentation — using agent frameworks or tool integrations (such as MCP). 

 Experience integrating with third-party systems — payment gateways, ERPs, messaging platforms, or device and equipment interfaces. 

 Exposure to healthcare, fintech or other regulated domains, or to interoperability standards such as HL7/FHIR. 

 Experience mentoring junior engineers. 

 Exposure to frontend development (React). Education 

 B.Tech / B.E. in Computer Science, IT or a related field; a top-tier institution (IITs, IIITs, NITs, BITS or equivalent) is preferred.
