Full stack developer - SDE II

Are you passionate about solving roadblocks & challenges faced by MSMEs in India?

MSMEs contribute significantly to India’s total GDP. 90% of India’s ~$1 Trillion Retail Market is controlled by Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Which means ~$900B worth of commerce flows through these ~60M MSMEs in the form of shops/kiosks/homes, scattered all over the country. We at Khatabook, have a vision to empower MSMEs and help them increase their incomes. We have built a product that brings efficiency in MSME operations by providing them easy to use tools to manage their receivables, inventory and billing which creates transparency in their cash flow. Within the Khatabook platform, we have also enabled the facility to take loans for their short term working capital needs for select Khatabook users that are displaying good credit behavior. Our app has been downloaded over 100 Million times with a monthly active user base of 8 Million+ which are adding 220 Million+ transactions with a transaction value of $18 Billion.

Why work with us?
People are our biggest asset! At Khatabook, every one of us is a dynamic superstar. We have carefully bred an ecosystem which hires nothing but incredibly and exceptionally talented people who can dream, collaborate, experiment, and break new ground. We’re a strong team that looks out for each other.

Your role :
We, at Khatabook, are looking for a Fullstack SDE II. You will design, build and operate production‑grade services and user‑facing features that directly move metrics for millions of merchants. You will pair robust engineering fundamentals with modern AI‑first workflows to ship high‑quality code at speed.

What would you do at Khatabook?

• End‑to‑End Ownership– Take features from one‑line problem statement through high‑level design, coding, testing, deployment and monitoring.
• Full‑Stack Delivery– While you will spend ~80 % of your time on backend micro‑services, you should be comfortable jumping into TypeScript/React when the product demands it.
• AI‑Accelerated Development– Leverage tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot and code‑gen LLMs to amplify productivity, enforce best practices and reduce toil.
• Production Stewardship– Debug, triage and resolve live issues with a “fix forward” attitude; participate in incident reviews.
• Team Collaboration– Work closely with PMs, Designers and Senior Engineers; communicate trade‑offs, unblock peers, mentor interns or new grads.

What are we looking for?

• 3 years of hands‑on experience building and operating scalable REST services in Java/Spring or Node.js/TypeScript (or similar)
• Willingness to adopt new technologies quickly—especially AI‑powered developer tools—and apply them pragmatically.
• Bias for execution – You proactively break down problems, ship incremental value quickly, measure impact, and iterate quickly.
• Solid understanding of fundamentals - data structures, algorithms, databases.
• Working familiarity with frontend frameworks (React / Next.js)
• Good written and verbal communication
