How you'll make an impact
- Own a domain: Lead strategy, design, and delivery for a core part of NIRA's platform.
- Set technical direction: Spot strategic needs and surface risks before they become problems.
- Drive complex initiatives: Take large, high-stakes projects from design to ship.
- Champion AI-native engineering: Push adoption of tools like Claude, Cursor, and Augment across the team.
- Mentor engineers: Level up engineers up to Senior, and raise the technical bar in Bangalore.
- Lead incidents: Own SEV1 and lower incident response through to resolution.
- Bridge global teams: Align with Principal Engineering and peers across NIRA, Cashalo, and US teams.
- Influence the roadmap: Shape product direction through technical tradeoffs, not just execution.

Why you're a great fit
- 7+ years building web APIs, ideally in Java and Spring Boot
- Deep experience with financial systems: state machines, complex lifecycles
- Strong grasp of distributed systems and queue-based architectures
- Proven track record scaling consumer products at high transaction volume
- End-to-end ownership: design, execution, and reporting on your own initiatives
- Comfortable deciding fast with incomplete information
- A mentor who actively raises the bar for engineers around you
- Genuine enthusiasm for AI dev tools, not just tolerance of them
- Bias for simplicity over clever abstractions
