Senior Backend Engineer
DeepRunner AI
DeepRunner AI, a startup building AI-native business automation for enterprises, is hiring a Senior Backend Engineer in Gurgaon. The company describes a flat, high-autonomy environment where the engineer owns services end to end, from architecture through production reliability.
What the work involves
The engineer builds and scales backend microservices serving a growing base of enterprise customers, designs APIs, implements event-driven architectures, manages data pipelines, and takes production ownership of the systems they build. It is a hands-on role rather than a coordination one.
What the employer asks for
- Five or more years building and operating backend systems in production.
- Strong proficiency in Java, Kotlin or a comparable statically-typed language.
- Deep experience with Docker and orchestration on Kubernetes or ECS, plus hands-on work with a major cloud platform - preferably AWS (EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, SQS, Lambda, S3).
Pay, location and application
The listing states INR 20-70 lakh per year, a wide band that likely reflects seniority calibration at interview - clarify where your experience lands before deep process investment. The role is in office in Gurgaon with WFH flexibility. It was reposted about two weeks before this check on 4 November 2026, with the recruiter recently active.
