Software Engineer

Bengaluru In-person

Why this role exists :

We ship fast. Our platform takes brands from brief to full research report in minutes and the engineering behind that has to be tight, reliable, and constantly improving.

We're hiring a Software Engineer who can pick up a ticket and close it. Not someone who needs hand-holding through scope or technology choices someone who reads the requirement, figures out the right approach, and ships something they're proud of.

What you'll actually do :

- Own tickets end-to-end : understand the problem, make the call, ship the feature, handle the edge cases

- Build across the stack frontend, backend, or both depending on where you're strongest

- Work with TypeScript, ReactJS/NextJS on the frontend and Python/Go on the backend

- Design and work with SQL and NoSQL databases as part of feature development

- Collaborate with product and design to implement experiences that actually feel good to use

- Debug, optimize, and improve systems that are already in production

- Learn fast the stack will evolve and you're expected to evolve with it

Who we think this is for :

1 to 3 years of engineering experience. Startup experience is preferred not because corporates are bad, but because you already know what it means to ship without a safety net.

You probably :

- Have closed real features in production, not just academic or tutorial projects

- Specialize in either frontend or backend but can move across the stack when needed

- Are comfortable in Python or Go on the backend, and TypeScript with ReactJS/NextJS on the frontend

- Know your way around cloud environments AWS or GCP

- Understand databases well enough to make sensible design decisions, SQL and NoSQL

- Have at least two projects you'd genuinely put in front of someone and say : I built this, here's why it's good

- Learn new tools by using them, not by waiting until you feel ready

This role is probably not for you if :

- You need a detailed spec before you can start

- Your best work lives in a private repo no one has seen

- You're looking for a large team with defined lanes here, you own what you pick up

Compensation :

We pay at a competitive end of the Indian tech market and offer meaningful ESOPs appropriate at our stage.
