We're hiring Software Engineers (SDE-1) to build the services behind products used by millions of investors. This role suits someone early in their career with strong problem-solving fundamentals who already builds with AI — using AI tools to understand code, prototype, debug and ship faster — while owning the quality of everything they put into production.
What You Will Do
- Build and maintain services and APIs that power trading, payments, portfolio and other core investment flows.
- Write clean, tested, well-structured code, and take features from design through to production.
- Work with databases and caches (e.g. PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis) and messaging systems (e.g. Kafka).
- Debug and fix production issues alongside senior engineers, and learn how high-scale financial systems stay reliable.
- Take part in code reviews, design discussions and sprint planning with product and engineering teams.
- Work AI-first: use tools like Claude, Cursor or GitHub Copilot to explore codebases, write and refactor code, generate tests and debug — then review, verify and own the output.
- Help find new ways to use AI in our engineering workflow, from automation scripts to internal tools.
What We're Looking For
- 0–1 year of experience (freshers welcome), or strong internship / project experience.
- B.E. / B.Tech in Computer Science, IT or a related engineering discipline (mandatory).
- Strong data structures and algorithms fundamentals: you should be comfortable solving coding problems under time constraints.
- Proficiency in at least one programming language: Java, Node.js (JavaScript/TypeScript), Go or Python.
- Good grasp of CS fundamentals: OOP, databases, operating systems, networking basics.
- Understanding of REST APIs and how web applications work end to end.
- Hands-on experience building with AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot or similar), and the judgement to know when AI output is wrong.
- Curiosity, ownership and a strong willingness to learn.
Good to Have
- Internships or projects that built real services or APIs (GitHub links welcome).
- Competitive programming (LeetCode, Codeforces, CodeChef) or hackathon participation.
- Exposure to Spring Boot, Express/NestJS, Docker, Kubernetes or a cloud platform (AWS/GCP).
- Projects that use LLM APIs, agents or prompt-driven tooling.
- Interest in fintech, markets or investing.
