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.
