Job summary

You will design and implement across the stack using MERN, Node, React, Next.js, and NestJS, shipping independently in a fast-paced office setting in South Delhi.

Qualifications

• Strong command of JavaScript/TypeScript and at least one modern full-stack framework combination.
• A genuine tinkering instinct — you build things for fun, not just for a paycheck.
• Comfort with ambiguity and the flexibility to wear multiple hats across a small, fast-moving team.
• For tier-1 engineering graduates especially: the depth to go beyond tutorials and actually reason about systems.

Responsibilities

• Build across the full stack — from database and API design to polished, production front-ends.
• Work fluently across modern JavaScript/TypeScript tooling: the MERN stack, Node, Bun, Deno, React, Next.js, NestJS.

Job description

We're looking for builders who'd rather architect a solution than wait to be handed a spec — freshers and experienced developers who treat a startup environment as a feature, not a risk.

What You'll Do

• Build across the full stack — from database and API design to polished, production front-ends.
• Work fluently across modern JavaScript/TypeScript tooling: the MERN stack, Node, Bun, Deno, React, Next.js, NestJS.
• Take ambiguous problems, think like an architect, and ship independently rather than waiting for a perfect spec.
• Move between roles as needed — this is a startup, and "not my job" isn't in the vocabulary.

What You Bring

• Strong command of JavaScript/TypeScript and at least one modern full-stack framework combination.
• A genuine tinkering instinct — you build things for fun, not just for a paycheck.
• Comfort with ambiguity and the flexibility to wear multiple hats across a small, fast-moving team.
• For tier-1 engineering graduates especially: the depth to go beyond tutorials and actually reason about systems.

Bonus Points: Exposure to advertising, gaming, or real-time systems; open-source contributions or personal projects worth showing off.

For all positions: we're looking for people who learn quickly, adapt to new and emerging technologies, and want to help build the future of advertising technology. This is an office-based role in South Delhi — we value genuine enthusiasm for working from office, tinkering with LLMs, AI, programmatic, ad insertion, and even gaming, inside a startup-style, operationally flexible environment. Hard work and a real focus on building a long-term career in ad‑tech software development matter more to us than a polished résumé.

On the Early-Career Program

Programmatic ad‑tech is an exceptionally niche industry, and very few schools or workplaces truly expose people to its technical, operational, or business realities — especially combined with emerging interactive and immersive advertising experiences. Because of this, we understand that strong candidates may come from lateral career shifts or seemingly unrelated backgrounds. While we review every application for relevant experience and education, résumés alone rarely reveal curiosity, systems thinking, adaptability, or genuine interest in the industry.

Established players in this space rarely let experienced talent circulate freely, and we recognize the challenge of building in such a rare ecosystem while bootstrapping. We encourage applicants to research the industry before applying, avoid applying blindly, and tell us why this space excites you — especially if you're willing to pursue an early‑career journey of learning, exploration, and growth while transitioning from another field.

Application Requirements

• A completed application form, including your resume.
• Essay 1 — Statement of Purpose: why Blowtrumpet is for you, why you want to be part of ad‑tech, and how ad‑tech differs from other industries (e.g. ed‑tech) in ways that interest you.
• Essay 2 — Your Workflow in the Emerging Technologies Age: your view on AI and where it's heading, how you're incorporating AI into your workflow today, and real examples of difficulties you've faced and how you resolved them.
• Essay 3 — Gamification: what gamification means to you, a real‑life example, what the gamification loop looks like, and how you'd apply it to create an engaging experience for friends, family, or coworkers.

Optional Guiding Questions

You're welcome to draw on any of the following while writing your three essays — they're prompts, not a separate form to fill out line by line.

• 1. Provide us with your present PIN Code. We won't be processing applications without a valid PIN Code and address location. You're encouraged to join our Discord server, "Hire For Work" (linked in the website footer) — introduce yourself and interact there; it goes a long way for our assessment and lets us connect with you in real time. Also define, in your own words, the difference between ed‑tech and ad‑tech.
• 2. Name 5 ed‑tech platforms you find useful. What did you like about them, who is their target audience, and how do they help you? What skills have you developed through ed‑tech?
• 3. Name 5 ad‑tech platforms you find useful. What did you like about them, who is their target audience, and how do they help you?

• 5. Why do you want to work with a startup? Talk about one area of expertise you feel will add value to our products, and the clients or industry it serves.

• 7. Why do you use AI? How do you envision AI being used in the years to come? Talk about a recent development in AI — is it close to the ad‑tech or fin‑tech industries?
• 8. Do you feel knowledge of fin‑tech systems is useful for product development in ad‑tech? What are the advantages of AI in building or managing a fin‑tech environment?

• 13. What do you understand by gamification? Create a sample gamification loop for an ad‑tech environment that you feel would be useful for the industry — mention the checkpoints, endpoints, rewards, and your approach to quantifying them.
• 14. Share a real‑world example of gamification you've practiced with friends, family, or coworkers.
• 15. Write a clear statement of purpose to complete your application. How does Blowtrumpet fit with your aspirations, and what would you like to achieve? Discuss your plans for the next 3–5 years.
