What you'll do Design & build full-stack features - from Ruby on Rails APIs and Java micro-services (Metro Draft, Deal Book, Cicero) to intuitive React/TypeScript UIs in Metro UI and MIA. Lead project work-streams - drive technical design docs, break down epics, surface risks, and deliver iterative value behind feature flags. Make AI useful - integrate LLM-powe'red Inspire Me copy generation and smart defaults, choosing the right prompt patterns, caching, and fallback strategies. Champion quality - write unit/contract tests, enforce CI gates, and embed observability (Grafana) so issues self-triage. Collaborate across functions - pair with Product, UX, Business teams to refine requirements, build merchant empathy, and ship the right thing. Mentor & learn - coach SDE Is, participate in design reviews, and absorb domain knowledge from senior architects growing yourself while growing others. we're excited about you if you have 3-6 years of professional software development experience, with strong Ruby (or Rails) and one JVM language (Java) plus modern React/TypeScript. Solid understanding of relational databases (Postgres/MySQL) , schema design, and query tuning; familiarity with Redis or Memcached for caching. Experience building, deploying, and operating micro-services in a public cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure) using Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code. Comfort integrating or experimenting with AI/ML APIs or open-source LLM frameworks to enhance product functionality. Working knowledge of event streaming (Kafka/PubSub), REST/GraphQL APIs, and secure RBAC/authorization patterns. A bias toward measurable impact, clean code, and continuous improvement , backed by excellent communication and collaboration skills. Nice-to-haves : Exposure to Salesforce integrations, image-management platforms (Bynder), or e-commerce/marketplace domains. How we work Hybrid Bengaluru team with flexible core hours; we optimize overlap with EU/US teams and on-call rotations. Two-week sprints, architecture RFCs, strict CI, and data-driven decisions. Culture that prizes curiosity, psychological safety, and shipping value not just writing code. What s in it for you Scope & ownership - own significant product surfaces used daily by merchants and internal teams worldwide. Learning & growth - clear career paths toward SDE III and beyond. Impact you can measure - each release moves key KPIs (deal adoption, GP30); we track and celebrate it.
