Senior Software Engineer

Zero MobIt; Hyderabad; On-site; INR 1,200,000 - 2,000,000; Full time

Job summary

Zeronow is a stealth-mode startup building world-class systems from scratch, focusing on Kotlin, React, AWS, GCP and maps integrations. We seek engineers who own products from design to deployment.

You will design, develop, deploy, and monitor scalable services, build fast UIs, work with founders and product stakeholders, and shape roadmaps with a strong voice.

If you are a self-starter with an ownership mentality, join us for flexible remote work and a flat org with high trust.

Qualifications

• 2–4 years of deep hands-on engineering experience, not just development.
• Experience with Kotlin or similar (Java/Scala), and modern React.
• Solid knowledge of cloud infra (AWS, GCP) and deploying scalable systems.
• Experience with Google Maps API or similar integrations is a plus.
• Ownership mentality — you don’t wait for specs, you shape them.
• A “figure it out” mindset — self-starters who learn fast and execute faster.
• Bonus: Startup experience, open-source contributions, or side projects.
• This Role Is Not For You If… You need hand-holding or detailed tasks to start contributing.

Responsibilities

• Own systems end-to-end — from design, development, deployment to monitoring.
• Architect robust and scalable services, especially in Kotlin (or similar JVM languages).
• Build fast, clean UIs in React that can scale with feature complexity.
• Work closely with founders and product stakeholders to translate real problems into tech solutions.
• Make critical decisions on cloud architecture using AWS and/or GCP.
• Optimize performance and apply algorithms that give us a tech edge.
• Contribute to product and engineering roadmap with a strong voice.
• Write clean, testable, maintainable code that you’re proud of.

Job description

We're a high-agency startup solving real-world problems with elegant tech. Our mission: build world-class systems from scratch that are lean, fast, and intelligent. We’re currently operating in stealth mode, crafting deeply technical products involving Kotlin, React, AWS, GCP, Google Maps, and algorithmically intense backends. If you’re tired of working as a ticket taker and want to build, lead, and own your work end-to-end — we’re your people.

Key Responsibilities

• Own systems end-to-end — from design, development, deployment to monitoring.
• Architect robust and scalable services, especially in Kotlin (or similar JVM languages).
• Build fast, clean UIs in React that can scale with feature complexity.
• Work closely with founders and product stakeholders to translate real problems into tech solutions.
• Make critical decisions on cloud architecture using AWS and/or GCP.
• Optimize performance and apply algorithms that give us a tech edge.
• Contribute to product and engineering roadmap with a strong voice.
• Write clean, testable, maintainable code that you’re proud of.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of deep hands-on engineering experience, not just development.
• Experience with Kotlin or similar (Java/Scala), and modern React.
• Solid knowledge of cloud infra (AWS, GCP) and deploying scalable systems.
• Experience with Google Maps API or similar integrations is a plus.
• Ownership mentality — you don’t wait for specs, you shape them.
• A “figure it out” mindset — self-starters who learn fast and execute faster.
• Bonus: Startup experience, open-source contributions, or side projects.
• This Role Is Not For You If…
• You need hand-holding or detailed tasks to start contributing.
• You only want to code what’s assigned and avoid product thinking.
• You prefer big team structure and layered management.
• Why Join Us
• You’ll get a front-row seat in building systems and culture from scratch.
• Flexible remote work, flat org, high trust.
• Your impact = immediate and visible.

Nice to Have

• Work on 0→1 products with massive ownership and no red tape.

From operations to engineering, we're looking for people who want to make student transportation safer and more reliable.
