MyYogaTeacher powers 200K+ customers and thousands of live 1-on-1 yoga sessions daily across the globe. Real-time video, intelligent matching, global scheduling, multi-currency payments all running on a backend youd own and evolve.

Were building an AI-first engineering culture. Not as a buzzword as the way we actually work. Youll be the person who defines how this team uses agentic coding tools, designs AI-powered systems, and ships at a pace that traditional teams cant match.

If Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf are already part of your daily workflow keep reading.

What Youll Own :

• Backend architecture and APIs powering live session orchestration, booking, matching, and payments.
• Agentic system design building workflows where AI agents plan, execute, and handle multi-step tasks autonomously in production.
• The AI-first playbook for the engineering team : tooling choices, workflow design, and standards that make everyone faster.
• Production reliability across distributed services monitoring, performance tuning, incident response.
• End-to-end feature delivery from design through rollout, collaborating with product and frontend.
• Mentoring engineers on both backend craft and AI-augmented development.

• Strong Go (Golang) proficiency.
• Real experience with distributed architectures, SQL/NoSQL at scale, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• A track record of shipping reliable, performant systems not just designing them.

What makes you a 10x hire :

• You use agentic coding tools daily Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or similar and theyve fundamentally changed how you ship.
• You understand agentic orchestration : how to design systems where LLM-driven agents use tools, handle errors, and complete complex tasks with minimal hand-holding.
• Youve built or integrated AI-powered features in production RAG pipelines, AI agents, intelligent automation, or similar.
• You have a clear point of view on where AI accelerates engineering and where human judgment is irreplaceable.
• You dont just work fast you inspire everyone around you.

Bonus Points :

• Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar tool-use frameworks.
• Experience scaling consumer-facing or marketplace platforms.
• Strong DevOps and observability chops (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).
• Open-source contributions or public writing on backend/AI tooling.

What Its Like Here :

• Small, high-output team. Low bureaucracy, high autonomy.
• Ship weekly. Your code hits production fast.
• AI tooling isnt a side project its how we build.
• 200K+ customers, 335K+ five-star reviews, 95% sessions rated 5 stars.
• Competitive compensation + meaningful equity.
• Headquartered in California, engineering in Bangalore.
