Senior Software Developer (Remote)

Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Chennai, Tamil Nadu and two nearshore delivery centres. Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones.

About the role:

Looking for a Senior Software Developer (Remote) who wants to stay somewhere for a while. This is a hands-on coding role on software used by a few hundred thousand people. Expect code review, design discussions and a fair amount of debugging. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. You can work from home anywhere in India. We have no office requirement. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. Please make sure you have dependable internet and backup power.

In this role you will:

• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates

Qualifications:

• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line

Preferred qualifications:

• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ
• Background in payments, fintech or another regulated domain

Pay: ₹19-24 LPA

What you get:

• Health insurance for you and your family
• Provident fund
• Paid leave

Start: Within 30 days.
