Senior Fullstack Engineer

Cutshort
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our lean, high-impact engineering team. This is a key founding-team role where you will work closely with the CTO and help build the engineering foundation of the company.

The ideal candidate is a backend-strong full-stack engineer with solid Python and React experience, a strong understanding of AI/LLMs, and the ability to independently take ownership of projects from idea to production.

What You'll Do

  • Build and scale applications across the backend and frontend
  • Develop backend services and APIs using Python
  • Build and maintain frontend applications using React
  • Design and implement AI/LLM-powered applications and features
  • Work with AI services and integrate them into real-world applications
  • Contribute to system design and architecture
  • Work with cloud infrastructure and services
  • Take ownership of features and initiatives from ideation to production
  • Identify problems and proactively drive solutions without requiring constant direction
  • Work closely with the CTO and founding team to shape engineering practices and future systems
  • Communicate technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders

What We're Looking For

  • 3–6 years of software engineering experience
  • Strong experience with Python
  • Good hands-on experience with React
  • Strong backend development experience with full-stack exposure

  • Strong problem-solving and ownership mindset
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to explain complex technical concepts in simple language

What Makes This Role Different

This is not a typical execution-focused engineering role. We are building a lean "A-team" of experienced engineers who will eventually help shape the team and take on senior/leadership responsibilities.

We're Looking For Someone Who

  • Takes initiative rather than waiting for tasks
  • Can work independently in an early-stage environment
  • Is comfortable exploring and building with AI
  • Can go deep into the work they've done and explain the technical decisions behind it
  • Wants significant ownership and influence over the product and engineering direction

Location & Compensation

  • Work Mode: Remote initially
  • Future Location: Expected relocation to Bangalore in approximately 1 year
  • Working Hours: Regular IST hours
  • Travel: Potential opportunities to travel to Germany

Interview Process

3 Rounds

  • Technical & Project Deep Dive – Conversational discussion around past projects, AI experience and technical depth
  • System Design & Technical Round – Deeper technical and architecture discussion
  • Founder Round – Communication, culture fit, ownership and initiative
