Full Stack AI Developer - also owns QA testing and DevOps

About the role
You build the feature, test it, deploy it and keep it running. In a five-person tech team there is no separate release engineer, so the person who writes the code also writes the tests and owns the deployment.

Key responsibilities

1. Development
2. Build and maintain frontend screens, backend APIs and database schemas for the platform and internal tools.
3. Integrate third-party services: payments, WhatsApp and email, CRM, analytics.

4. Review the other developer's code and keep the codebase readable.

5. QA and testing

6. Write unit, integration and API tests for your own code before it reaches the tester.

7. Build and maintain an automated regression suite for critical user flows.

8. Reproduce, triage and fix bugs raised by QA or clients; keep staging matching production.

9. DevOps

10. Own CI/CD - automated build, test and deploy with rollback.

11. Manage cloud infrastructure: servers, databases, domains, SSL, environment variables and secrets.

12. Set up monitoring, logging, uptime alerts and backups, and respond when something breaks.

13. Keep deployment and setup documented.

Must-have skills

• REST API design, authentication and role-based access
• SQL (MySQL or PostgreSQL) including joins, indexing and query tuning; basic MongoDB
• Unit and integration testing (Jest, PyTest or PHPUnit)
• API testing in Postman and one UI automation tool (Cypress, Playwright or Selenium)
• Git and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Jenkins)
• Docker and Linux command line
• Deploying on AWS, GCP, Azure or a VPS; Nginx, SSL and DNS
• Reading logs, debugging production issues, setting up backups and monitoring

Good to have

• TypeScript; Terraform or Kubernetes; workflow automation (n8n, Zapier, Apps Script, Python scripts).
• Payment gateway integration (Razorpay, Stripe, Cashfree) and GST or invoicing logic.
• Work with AI/LLM APIs.
• Early-stage startup experience where you were the only person who could deploy.

Eligibility criteria
We shortlist on demonstrated skill. No college tier, branch, CGPA or brand-name-employer filter.

• 2 to 4 years of hands-on development, including a product you built and deployed yourself.
• Working code you can show: GitHub, a live URL or a repo you can walk us through.
• You have written tests for your own code in a real project, not only in a course.
• You have deployed and maintained an app on a server and handled a production issue.
• Any graduate stream; self-taught and bootcamp developers welcome.
• Available full-time, on-site.

We will not shortlist candidates whose only evidence is certificates, or who have never configured a deployment, or who want a frontend-only or backend-only scope.
