Backend Engineering Manager

Role: Backend Engineering Manager (Tax, Networth & AI Insights)

We’re looking for a hands-on Backend Engineering Manager to lead and scale the core systems behind our Tax Filing, Networth Tracking, and AI-based Insights products

This role is a mix of architect, people leader, and IC — someone who can lead a small, high-output team while still owning and building critical backend modules end-to-end.

Key Responsibilities:

Own and scale backend systems powering INDmoney’s financial data stack:

• Tax filing engine.
• Networth aggregation across 10+ asset classes (equity, MF, EPF, NPS, bonds, PPF, etc).
• AI-driven insights and goal-planning recommendations.

Lead a team of 4–6 backend engineers, driving technical excellence, reviews, and mentorship.

Contribute individually — design, code, deploy, and debug major features.

Architect scalable ingestion pipelines for financial data via:

• Account Aggregator APIs
• Gmail Parsing (OAuth)
• Web scraping automation
• User-uploaded files (Excel, statements)

Design high-performance services that can handle scale with strong data consistency and reliability guarantees.

Work closely with product, AI, and infra teams to shape how products are built — not just what gets built.

Thrive in an unstructured, fast-moving environment with minimal process, changing priorities, and many ad-hoc requests.

Take full ownership of outcomes — from idea to production to monitoring and scaling.

You’re a Great Fit If You...

• Have 7+ years of backend experience, including 2+ years leading teams.
• Have built large-scale, distributed systems or data aggregation engines.
• Can deep dive into code while mentoring others.
• Have in-depth knowledge of Python or Golang and strong AWS fundamentals.
• Can balance speed vs. correctness — you know when to hack and when to harden.
• Are comfortable with chaos — no rigid sprints, evolving priorities, and full autonomy.
• Have strong product sense — you care about why we build things, not just how.
• Take extreme ownership — you’ll be responsible for systems millions depend on.

Why Join INDmoney

• Solve India-scale engineering problems in personal finance.
• Ship fast, own outcomes, and see impact daily.
• Variety of problem statements to work on, ranging from transactional systems to analytical ledgers to on-prem data center interactions
• A fast-paced, highly entrepreneurial environment with a visionary team.
