About the role

Experience & skills:

• 5 - 8 years of experience as a backend engineer. • Experience in managing the backend of a product at scale. You can also apply in case you are good in other languages • Expertise in designing backend systems with an eye on efficiency, scalability, and security. • In addition to being good in backend technologies, a good knowledge of using AWS tools to set up, scale, and monitor servers will be an added advantage. • Basic knowledge of DevOps is preferred.

Role:

• Design and maintain all the backend systems to work optimally at scale. • Act as a technical lead on projects by planning, estimating timelines, and helping junior engineers complete their development on time. • In addition, be open to acting as a hands-on coder when needed. • Motivate and mentor junior engineers in the team to build a high-quality product. • Set up processes to ensure that the codebase is well structured. These processes can include peer reviews, code reviews by you (or other senior people). • Work towards systematically reducing technical debt with time. • Come up with technical solutions to deliver high-performing and scalable solutions to user's problems. • Be open to working on MVPs on multiple platforms to test potential markets. • Ask questions that expose flaws and gaps, while keeping an eye on the broader context.

Soft Requirements

• Ability to ship things fast: The most important thing for us is getting products in front of users quickly. • Self-driven nature: You will be the sole member of a project in most cases. So, you will need to drive the product here. • Quick learner: We are quite agile in adding features and technologies. You will need to keep pace. • Attention to detail: We are not a large organization with redundant documentation. So, you must understand the requirements quickly. • Independence of thought, and clarity of mind: Employees who have been associated with us for the longest time are ones who challenged our status quo and proved us wrong. We love such people.

About the company

• Atmana helps 15–30-year-olds control technology addictions like excessive use of smartphones, social media, gaming, pornography, etc. • We are operating profitably and have over 10,000 paying customers from countries like the US, Canada, UK, Germany, etc. • We are part of Y Combinator's program, which is the world’s leading accelerator program for start-ups. Many outstanding companies like Stripe, Coinbase, Airbnb, Razor pay, Meesho, Clear tax, etc. have also been part of the same program • We have recently closed our seed round of funding with $500K raised (Tech in Asia - Connecting Asia's start-up ecosystem)

You should consider joining Atmana if:

• You are looking for immense growth and learning in a short amount of time and you do not shy away from challenging work and responsibilities. • You believe in completing projects, getting things done. You do not get bogged by lack of experience/skills and just focus on doing and learning along the way. • You obsess over providing the best user experience while building products. • You like a culture where hierarchy is minimal and open communication and healthy arguments are encouraged. • You like producing new ways of doing things (innovation) and hate doing the exact same things day in and day out.
