Job description

Dezerv is a house of investing solutions for high net worth and affluent Indians. Dezerv is co-founded by Sandeep Jethwani, Vaibhav Porwal, and Sahil Contractor. They have led and founded successful wealth management businesses and managed over USD 7 billion in assets. The Dezerv team brings together decades of investing expertise from leading global financial institutions. Our team of experts monitor the performance of portfolios and rebalance them if required to ensure long-term success. We are backed by marquee firms like Premji Invest, Accel, Elevation, Z47, etc. Since inception, our clients have trusted us with over 18000+ crs of their assets.

Why are we building Dezerv?

Investing is stressful and emotional. Building & growing wealth is difficult and time-consuming. Most individuals struggle with managing their investments and money. Our goal is to help individuals grow their wealth without the stress, time, and costs involved in a traditional investment. At Dezerv, we are building a platform that leverages our decades of investment expertise to help individuals invest better for their future.

What are we trying to solve/mission?

We are passionate about helping Indians invest better. We manage investments with active oversight to help both sophisticated and new investors build long term wealth across various market conditions.

What you'll do

• Design and build microservices that are reusable, testable, and built to scale - not just to ship on time.
• Turn ambiguous business and product requirements into modular, well-architected systems.
• Own your code from design through production - write it, test it, ship it, and watch how it performs in the real world.
• Catch defects before they become incidents - invest in the tooling, alerting, and test coverage that surfaces problems early.
• Contribute to estimates for your own tasks and projects, and flag risk before it becomes a fire drill.
• Document decisions, trade-offs, and technical debt clearly enough that someone else could pick up your work without you in the room.
• Partner with the wider engineering team to unblock hard technical problems

What we're looking for -

Must-haves

• 4–5 years of experience building and owning backend systems in production
• Strong hands-on experience in Golang, Java, or another language built for concurrency and multithreading.
• Deep, practical knowledge of MongoDB — schema design that mirrors real business logic, not just CRUD operations.
• A track record of shipping and owning features end-to-end, not just closing tickets.
• Sharp analytical instincts — you break a problem down before you start typing code.
• Working knowledge of design patterns and what actually makes a system scalable and secure, not just functional.
• Strong communication — you can explain a technical trade-off to a non-engineer in simple term

Good to have

• Exposure to React, Redux, or other modern frontend stacks.
• Experience in fintech, wealthtech, or another regulated environment.

Dezerv is scaling fast, and this role is built for someone who wants to own outcomes, not just execute tickets. You'll work close to the business, close to real capital decisions, and close to a team that expects you to think, not just build what you're told.
