Overview
Tech Stack Fit
The ideal person is a strong systems and product architect who can work hands-on with the following:
-
Languages: Golang or C++ (for high-performance backends)
-
Frontend: React (web), Flutter (mobile), Qt (desktop)
-
Data & Messaging: Kafka, WebSockets, GraphQL
-
Cloud & Infra: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS/Azure
-
Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis, CockroachDB
-
Analytics/OLAP: Pinot, Superset
-
Monitoring/DevOps: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK
So, it’s not just backend, it’s full-stack systems architecture with cloud, DevOps, and performance elements.
Ideal Background
-

-
Should’ve worked across frontend + backend + cloud, not just one area.
-
Someone who has built or scaled trading, treasury, or financial platforms.
-
A person who can architect AND guide; not just code.
Bonus Points (Nice to Have)

If they’ve led system-wide architecture redesigns before.
-
Experience with rules engines (for trade or workflow logic).
-
Understanding mobile-first and offline-first app behavior (important in trading).
-
Can collaborate closely with QA and SRE teams to build fault-tolerant systems.
Why This Role Is Attractive

It’s high-ownership, on-site in Mumbai, and product-core (not a service company).
-
You’ll directly influence India’s capital market tech backbone.
-
Work in a tech-first setup with seasoned engineers and product owners.
-
Exposure to real-time, high-performance trading tech — niche and valuable.
