[Hiring] Senior Developer @TAP

Role Description

We're looking for a senior engineer who can do both — write production-grade code and lead the team that ships it. You've built and operated web and mobile applications at scale, and you know what it takes to keep them stable, secure, and fast in the real world. You're comfortable making architecture decisions, running code reviews, managing a distributed team of 4–7 engineers, and still getting your hands dirty when it matters. You take end-to-end ownership seriously — from the first line of code to what happens in production at 2am. If you want to lead the engineering of a platform that reaches thousands of students every day — you'll thrive here.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Proven experience building and operating production-grade web and mobile applications.
• Strong experience with Flutter and Dart.
• Strong experience with React and JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Solid knowledge of HTML, CSS, responsive design, and browser compatibility.
• Experience developing REST or GraphQL APIs and backend services.
• Experience with relational and NoSQL databases.
• Knowledge of mobile application architecture — state management, notifications, authentication, and offline functionality.
• Experience with Git, automated testing, CI/CD, cloud platforms, and container-based deployments.
• Experience publishing and maintaining applications on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
• Practical understanding of application security, monitoring, logging, and performance optimisation.
• Demonstrated experience leading or managing an engineering team.
• Strong written communication and remote collaboration skills.

Requirements

• Deep hands-on experience across Flutter, React, JavaScript/TypeScript, and backend services — able to design and build production-grade applications end to end.
• Ability to design scalable, secure, maintainable systems and make sound trade-offs under real constraints.
• Experience leading a distributed team — assigning work, running reviews, maintaining standards, and growing engineers alongside shipping product.
• Comfortable owning production — CI/CD, monitoring, release management, incident resolution, and everything in between.

Good to Have

• Experience with Node.js or a comparable backend framework.
• Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform.
• Experience with Docker and modern deployment practices.
• Knowledge of analytics, payment gateways, messaging services, and other third-party integrations.
• Experience working in an agile product-development environment.

What Success Looks Like

• Agreed product milestones are delivered reliably and on time.
• Applications are stable, secure, and performant in production.
• Production defect rates are low and issues are resolved fast.
• Engineering quality is consistent across the team.
• Release cycles are predictable and well-managed.
• Coordination with product, design, AI/ML, and data teams is smooth and effective.

Why Join Us?

Because the applications you build and lead are not internal tools — they are what students, teachers, and program teams interact with every day. Every architectural decision you make, every engineer you mentor, and every release you ship has a direct line to the learning experience of thousands of children in government schools across India. You'll work on a genuinely interesting stack — Flutter, React, AI integrations, real-time data, and WhatsApp-based learning — in a context where the stakes are real. If you want to lead engineering that matters — this is the place.

What You Can Expect?

• Own the web and mobile product lifecycle end to end — architecture, team, delivery, and operations.
• Work at the intersection of mobile engineering, AI integration, and large-scale learning — on a platform that reaches thousands of daily active users.
• Work closely with product, design, AI/ML, and data teams in a fast-moving, mission-driven organisation.
• Collaborative teams, open communication, and shared purpose.
• Competitive salary in line with experience and nonprofit standards.
