Full Stack Engineer

Cityfurnish is a Y Combinator-backed furniture and appliance rental company. Since 2015 we have helped students, families and corporate customers furnish their homes on flexible monthly subscriptions instead of buying outright. We operate across 7 Indian cities from our headquarters in Gurgaon.

Behind every rental is a lot of technology: the website and app where subscribers browse and check out, payments and auto-debit, KYC, delivery and pickup scheduling, warehouse inventory, and the service request flows that keep thousands of subscriptions running every month.

We're looking for a hands-on Full Stack Developer who can own features end to end as an individual contributor: scoping, design, build, testing, deployment and support after release. You'll work across the customer-facing website and the internal tools our operations, customer support and accounts teams use every day, partnering closely with our Tech Lead on architecture and priorities. This is not a people-management role. You'll work directly with product and operations, so what you ship reaches real subscribers and real teams within days, not quarters.

We're an AI-forward team. We expect you to use AI coding tools to move faster, and to bring the engineering judgement to review, test and stand behind everything you ship.

Customer-facing platform

•      Build and improve the Cityfurnish website using Next.js, React and TypeScript, covering product listing, cart, checkout and the subscriber account area

•      Own page speed, SEO and Core Web Vitals on a site where traffic turns directly into rentals

•      Build APIs that serve both the website and the mobile app

Payments and integrations

•      Build and maintain payment flows with Razorpay, including checkout, recurring auto-debit and webhook handling

•      Integrate with third-party systems such as Zoho Desk (service requests), WhatsApp and SMS notification providers, and our Odoo ERP through its APIs (orders, subscriptions, invoices and customer data)

•      Make integrations reliable: retries, idempotent webhook handling, logging and alerts when something fails

Internal tools

•      Build tools for inventory, warehouse operations, delivery and pickup tracking, and service request handling

•      Turn manual processes in operations, customer support and accounts into simple, reliable workflows

Engineering quality

•      Design REST APIs and MySQL/PostgreSQL schemas that hold up as volumes grow

•      Write tests, review code and keep the codebase easy for the next developer to work in

•      Deploy and monitor services on Azure with CI/CD pipelines

AI in your work and in the product

•      Use AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and similar) for prototyping, debugging, testing and documentation

•      Spot and build AI features that add real business value, such as smarter search, support chatbots or workflow automation

Core engineering

•      3–5 years of hands-on full-stack web development, with features you built running in production

•      Strong React and Next.js, including server-side rendering, static generation and SEO basics

•      TypeScript and modern JavaScript (ES6+)

•      Node.js with Express.js for building REST APIs

•      MySQL or PostgreSQL: schema design, indexing and query optimisation

•      HTML5, CSS3 and Tailwind CSS, with an eye for responsive, usable UI

•      Experience integrating third-party APIs and webhooks; payment gateways (Razorpay, PayU, Stripe or similar) are a strong plus

•      Security basics: authentication (JWT, OAuth), handling sensitive customer and payment data, and common web vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10)

•      Testing: unit and end-to-end tests with Jest, Playwright, Cypress or similar

•      Git and GitHub workflows, code reviews and CI/CD

•      Experience deploying and running apps on a cloud platform; Azure preferred

AI-assisted development

•      Daily, hands-on use of AI coding assistants in your workflow

•      The judgement to review, test and debug AI-generated code rather than accept it as written

•      Familiarity with calling LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI or similar) from a web application

How you work

•      You own your work end to end with minimal hand-holding: you take a feature from vague business problem to shipped, monitored solution, asking the right questions along the way

•      You explain technical trade-offs clearly to non-technical teams

•      Experience integrating with Odoo or another ERP through its APIs (XML-RPC/JSON-RPC or REST), including keeping data in sync between systems

•      Experience in e-commerce, subscription, rental, logistics or inventory businesses

•      Recurring payments or auto-debit mandates (UPI Autopay, eNACH)

•      WhatsApp Business API or other messaging integrations

•      Event-driven systems, queues or background job processing

•      Analytics and monitoring tools such as Mixpanel, Google Analytics, Metabase, Sentry or Grafana

•      Building with RAG, vector databases or agent workflows

•      Mobile app backends or React Native
