Job Description
Setu is working to reimagine financial products for the next billion users.
How do you put a dent in India’s economy when most of her population cannot afford insurance, credit, investments, etc. through the formal channels that you and I take for granted? Our auto-wallas cannot use Cred, our security guards cannot use Zerodha. There are several examples—you get the idea.
How can we enable them to get on such platforms?
By reducing the cost of distribution. If we break down financial products such as loans, insurance and investments into their fundamental building blocks, and offer them as APIs to businesses, they then package these APIs into highly custom apps, tailor-made for their specific customers, instead of a generic one-size-for-all approach that is the norm today.
This also enables them to go live with a fintech product or service in a matter of days, not months.
We believe that fintech will be a core part of every company’s offering. And at Setu, we’re building the fintech infrastructure that will accelerate this.

Requirements
What will you do at Setu?
The Backend Engineer role involves owning the end-to-end development of products and product features in various capacities. This includes:
• Architecting — Figuring out all levels of designing and structuring systems, deciding on optimal levels of abstraction and future-proofing, patterns of orchestration of components, and finally planning its execution.
• Implementation — Should be able to structure and write code like prose for others to read, design, and adhere to common principles and patterns that make everyone better at their jobs, author documentation about that code for various consumers including fellow team members, business and our ultimate consumers - developers!
• Orchestration and integration — Interact with the larger engineering team for integrating your work into the ecosystem, help others in building over the base that you provide, help in orchestrating your work into CI/CD, testing, QA, and automation pipelines.
• Mentorship — We all love to learn and grow as engineers and human beings and we believe in synchronous growth as a team fueled by each and every individual's personal abilities, specializations, and interests. To enable this you'll be required to mentor others by sharing your expertise in various forms and be subject to be mentored by others and thus maintain a continuous learning culture.
• Product thinking — We believe that tech teams are the authority when it comes to building products. Instead of having product management as a separate function, we prefer to include it with the responsibilities of the builders themselves. This ensures minimal information loss and maximises control where the builder takes the center stage in their work.
