IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Backend Engineer with 13+ years of experience building mission-critical software across fintech, supply chain, enterprise storage and embedded systems. I’ve consistently shaped architecture as teams scaled. I thrive in distributed systems work and I’m perpetually curious, always reading and trying new tech stacks to solve hard problems.
I have 4+ years of experience working fully remotely at a U.S.-based fintech. As one of the founding engineers and the only engineer from India, I was instrumental in shaping core system architecture and product development. I have a proven track record as a top-performing remote collaborator, working seamlessly with distributed teams across multiple time zones.
