About the job
Join our dynamic team as a Backend Software Engineer for one of Weekday's esteemed clients!
Salary Range: ₹1,300,000 - ₹2,000,000 (INR 13-20 LPA)
Minimum Experience: 2 years
Location: Bengaluru
Job Type: Full-time
About the Role
We are looking for an enthusiastic and results-driven Backend Developer with a proven track record of developing and launching impactful features using technologies like Node.js, Python, Go, and SQL databases. This role involves complete ownership of the development process from understanding business requirements to deploying and maintaining robust backend services.
Responsibilities
Own the entire feature lifecycle: from gathering requirements and designing solutions to implementation, testing, deployment, and monitoring. Focus on developing complex functionalities rather than just resolving minor issues. Design efficient SQL schemas, write optimized queries, and ensure data integrity. Collaborate closely with frontend and product teams to deliver comprehensive, user-facing functionalities. Participate in code reviews to enhance code quality and uphold high engineering standards. Troubleshoot production issues and implement effective root-cause solutions with a holistic understanding of the system.
Must-Have Skills & Profile
2-5 years of experience as a backend developer. Proficiency in Node.js, TypeScript/JavaScript, and SQL (MySQL or similar RDBMS) is essential. A demonstrated ability to independently develop and manage features or modules in live environments. Strong understanding of web fundamentals, including HTTP, REST APIs, authentication, and the request-response lifecycle. Familiarity with Linux environments and Git/GitHub workflows. Insight into how your work aligns with overall product architecture and business goals.
Bonus / Brownie Points
Active contributions to open-source projects (please include GitHub links), especially in web/backend domains. Participation in initiatives like GSoC, hackathons, or competitive programming platforms such as Codeforces. Relevant internships at reputable tech companies with hands-on feature ownership. Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP) and foundational knowledge of DevOps.
What We Do Not Want
This position is not suitable for candidates primarily focused on ML/AI or data science/ML pipelines. Candidates with experience limited to minor bug fixes, CSS tweaks, or superficial refactoring without significant feature ownership will not be a fit.
