Software Development Engineer II/III - Node.js

Description :

Senior Software Engineer | SDE 2/3 (Node.js)

The Mission : Architecting the Backbone of Global Omnichannel Commerce

Location : Mumbai (HQ 5 Days In-Person Collaboration)

Experience : 5 to 8 Years of Distributed Systems Grit

The Vibe : High-Concurrency, Event-Driven, and Cloud-Native

The Focus : Node.js, Kubernetes, Kafka, and System Reliability at Scale

The Narrative : Your Journey with the Platform

• In a retail ecosystem serving over 2,300 brands, the backend isn't just a layerit's the central nervous system. As a Senior Software Engineer (SDE 2/3), you are the architect of high-availability systems that synchronize online sales, offline inventory, and complex logistics in real-time.

• You won't just be "writing APIs"; you will be designing the distributed infrastructure that ensures a seamless experience for millions of users. You will join a team that values Observability as much as Performance, working in an environment where your decisions on system design and fault tolerance directly impact the global retail landscape.

The Daily Craft : What Youll Actually Build :

Distributed Systems & Microservices :

• You will design and maintain large-scale backend systems using Node.js (TypeScript). These services aren't just standalone appsthey are containerized via Docker and orchestrated on Kubernetes (GKE/EKS) to handle massive bursts in traffic without breaking a sweat.

Event-Driven Architecture :

• You will build asynchronous, resilient systems leveraging Apache Kafka for data streaming. Whether it's managing inter-service communication or real-time data synchronization across third-party platforms, youll ensure that data flows reliably and instantly.

Engineering Governance & Mentorship :

• As an SDE 2/3, you are a force multiplier. You will conduct deep-dive design reviews, mentor junior engineers, and establish the gold standards for maintainable, secure code. Youll also lead incident responses and perform root-cause analysis to ensure the system evolves with every challenge.

Your Blueprint : The Skills You Bring :

• The Core : 5-8 years of professional experience with Node.js, TypeScript, and NestJS. You have a deep understanding of system design and distributed patterns.

• The Cloud Stack : Expert knowledge of Kubernetes (K8s), Helm, and GCP/AWS. You treat infrastructure as a mission-critical component of your code.

• The Data Engine : Proficiency in PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and caching layers like Redis. If you have exposure to ClickHouse or Temporal.io, youll find our challenges particularly exciting.

• The Observability Eye : You don't "guess" why a system is slow; you use Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry to know for sure.

What We Offer :

• Limitless Growth : We don't just grow products; we grow people. Through Flex University and our Learning Wallet, we fund your journey to becoming a technical leader.

• Holistic Wellness : A comprehensive Mediclaim policy for you and your entire family (spouse, kids, and parents), plus access to professional therapy for mental well-being.

• The Power of Proximity : We work from the office 5 days a week because we believe that high-impact engineering requires the kind of spontaneous collaboration that only happens in person.
