Build India's API Infrastructure
with a Team That Ships
We're a small, senior, remote-first team building the platform that powers 500+ Indian businesses. If you want to work on infrastructure that matters — with autonomy, ownership, and no bureaucracy — you'll like it here.
A Team Built for People Who Care About Craft
We don't offer ping-pong tables or free snacks. We offer something better — real ownership, senior teammates, and work that actually matters.
25+ people running a platform used by 500+ businesses. Every person here makes a visible impact. No layers, no politics, no "that's not my job."
Work from anywhere in India. Team members are spread across 6 cities. We meet quarterly for in-person offsites and use async tools the rest of the year.
Every full-time employee gets ESOPs. Not "we might give you equity someday" — actual stock options from day one. When we win, you win.
Top-of-market salaries for Indian tech. We benchmark annually against Bangalore, Mumbai, and remote-tech companies. We pay for seniority, not titles.
₹50,000/year per person for courses, conferences, books, and certifications. Want to learn something new? Ask — the answer is almost always yes.
Health insurance for you, spouse, kids, and parents. 25 days paid leave + public holidays. We mean it — real time off, not "unlimited but don't actually take it."
