6 open roles · Sealdah, Kolkata

Work on systems that a business actually depends on

Not tickets from a client you never meet. You will sit in the workshop where the problem is described, own the architecture, review the code, and be the person the client calls when it matters. That is a harder job and a considerably more interesting one.

What we are hiring for right now

Senior Full-Stack Engineer (Next.js / Node)

5–9 years Full-time · Sealdah, hybrid

Own the architecture on client engagements across web applications and portals. You will make the rendering and data-model decisions, review everything that merges, and be the named engineer a client can call.

What we look for

Deep React and Next.js App Router experience in production
Strong TypeScript and API design
Comfortable owning a data model in PostgreSQL
Able to explain a trade-off to a non-technical director
Apply for this role

Data Engineer (Spark / Airflow)

3–7 years Full-time · Sealdah, hybrid

Build and operate pipelines and lakehouses for industrial and commerce clients. Batch and streaming, plant historians to warehouses, with real SLAs and overnight failure modes that matter.

What we look for

Production Python and PySpark
Airflow or an equivalent orchestrator at scale
Warehouse modelling — Snowflake, BigQuery or Databricks
Instinct for data quality and reconciliation
Apply for this role

AI Engineer (Agents & Document Intelligence)

2–6 years Full-time · Sealdah, hybrid

Build agentic workflows and extraction systems that run in production with guardrails, evaluation harnesses and human approval gates. Not demos — systems that process thousands of documents a month.

What we look for

LLM application development with structured outputs
Evaluation and prompt iteration discipline
Strong Python; retrieval and vector search
Healthy scepticism about model output
Apply for this role

Backend Engineer (Laravel / PHP)

3–7 years Full-time · Sealdah, hybrid

Build ERP, CRM and portal systems for manufacturers and distributors. Service layers, queues, migrations, tests — modern PHP done to a standard that will still be maintainable in five years.

What we look for

Laravel or CodeIgniter 4 in production at scale
Query discipline and comfort reading an execution plan
Queue architecture and background job design
Interest in the domain, not just the framework
Apply for this role

Product Designer (UI/UX)

3–7 years Full-time · Sealdah, hybrid

Design interfaces for data-dense industrial tools as well as marketing and commerce surfaces. You will build design systems, specify every state, and occasionally stand on a shop floor with a stopwatch.

What we look for

Design systems with tokens and documented components
Comfort designing dense tables, filters and forms
Prototyping the risky flows, not the pretty ones
Accessibility as a design responsibility, not a QA finding
Apply for this role

SEO & Content Engineer

2–5 years Full-time · Sealdah, hybrid

Technical SEO, structured data, local search and long-form content written from real project work. You will interview our engineers and turn what they know into pages that rank and get cited.

What we look for

Technical SEO: crawl, render, Core Web Vitals, schema
Strong written English and an ear for a technical voice
Comfortable in Search Console and a crawler, not just a dashboard
No interest in tactics that need defending
Apply for this role
What it is like here

Small, senior, and accountable

Forty-two people, grown four to six a year. Everyone works on projects we own. Nobody is placed at a client site as a resource.

You meet the client. Engineers attend discovery workshops and plant visits — you will understand why you are building something.
Every line reviewed before merge, including AI-generated drafts. Reviews are on the work, and disagreement is expected.
Two-week slices with a demo every alternate Friday. No three-month silences, for us or for the client.
Learning budget and conference time, plus internal sessions where people teach what they have just worked out.
We say no to work that would require bad engineering. That is not a slogan — it has cost us projects.

Hiring

How we hire, and what to expect

Two weeks, a paid take-home that resembles real work, and a conversation with the people you would actually sit beside.

A 30-minute conversation, then a paid take-home task of about four hours that resembles real work rather than a puzzle, then a technical discussion of your solution with the person you would work with, then a conversation with the founder. Usually completed within two weeks. We pay for the take-home because your time is worth something whether or not we hire you.

Hybrid, with a genuine expectation of two to three days in the Sealdah office for most roles. Discovery workshops, plant visits and design reviews happen in person because they work better that way, and pairing on hard problems is considerably easier in a room. Fully remote is possible for senior roles with a strong track record.

No. Every person here works on projects we own and are accountable for. Nobody is placed at a client site as a resource. It is a smaller business as a result and a considerably better one to work in.

Every line is reviewed before it merges, including — especially — the lines generated by AI tooling. Reviews are on the work rather than the person, and disagreement with a senior engineer is expected rather than tolerated. If a review makes you defensive, we have written it badly and we would rather hear that.

We use it daily and we are direct about what it changes. Implementation of well-understood things is dramatically faster. Architecture, judgement, review and accountability are not. The engineers doing well here are the ones who use the tooling and remain the person who decides — which is a more senior job than the one it replaced, not a lesser one.

Write anyway. We hire four to six people a year and roughly a third of those come from speculative applications that arrived at the right moment. Tell us what you have built and what you want to work on. WhatsApp is fine.
