Skills & Qualities were looking for

Hard Skills

• 2 years of experience as a front-end developer (rare exceptions for highly skilled developers) at a fast‑paced, preferably early / growth stage start‑up.
• Knowledge of code-bases and version control systems (Git).
• Well‑versed with SQL database design & RDBMS concepts.
• Strong arithmetic reasoning, logical and analytical thinking skills.
• Strong knowledge of code quality maintenance and performance analysis.

Soft Skills

• Thoughtful problem-solving: We expect you to solve problems. Solving starts with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You can decompose tricky problems and work towards a clean solution, by yourself or with teammates. You’re comfortable asking for help when you get stuck.
• Navigating ambiguity in design: You can translate high‑level designs into production‑ready UI. Given clear requirements, you are comfortable making judgment calls on tradeoffs and edge cases in the user experience on your own. You don’t need to see every interaction mocked out ahead of time, but you actively partner with designers to suss out the details when the requirements are unclear.
• Pragmatic and business‑oriented: You care about the business impact of what you’re building, and you prioritize projects accordingly. You’re not just going after cool stuff you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line.
• The right attitude toward a sense of urgency, risk, and ambiguity that comes naturally with working at an early‑stage startup.
• Clear communication skills so you can easily convey your thoughts, opinions, and feelings to customers and teammates.
• Comfortable working in a fluid, growing organization with minimal supervision.

Aside from being a highly‑motivated, mission‑driven organization we offer:

• Highly competitive salaries including attractive stock options.
• Five‑day work week.
• Flexibility to choose your days‑on‑work and working hours.

• Unlimited sick leave.
• Insurance for you and your spouse.
• 12% employer match for Provident Fund (PF) (maximum permissible limit).
• A yearly learning allowance to go learn a new skill / develop new talent.
• A yearly allowance to use towards the improvement of your physical and mental health.
