About the role

About ArisAris is building core infrastructure for how construction materials are sourced, financed, and moved across India. This isn’t a marketplace or a layer on top of existing systems, we’re building the underlying technology that powers logistics, credit decisions, and compliance at scale.Our platform runs live operations across 900+ pin codes and supports real-time tracking, automated documentation, and financial decisioning across a large supply chain. Performance, reliability, and correctness matter here - this is backend-heavy work where systems operate continuously and at scale.As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be a hands-on individual contributor who also shapes technical direction. You’ll lead the design and implementation of larger features, contribute to architectural decisions, and raise the bar on engineering quality across the team.This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex backend problems, taking ownership of systems in production, and mentoring others - without moving away from writing code.What You’ll Work On

Core AI-driven systems for risk scoring, delay prediction, and document generation
Real-time tracking systems for vehicles, ETAs, and routing
Credit and underwriting pipelines that run continuously on high value enterprise deals.
Applications used daily by thousands of vendors and customers
Automated generation of documentation, audit trails and smart contracts.
You’ll work in a small team with a strong focus on shipping, ownership, and scalability.

What You’ll Do

Lead the design and implementation of complex, high-impact features
Assist in architectural decisions around scalability, reliability, and system boundaries
Help shape how AI and data systems are integrated into production workflows (latency, observability, failure handling)
Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and day-to-day guidance
Drive best practices around system design, code quality, testing, and observability
Improve performance and reliability of real-time systems such as tracking, analytics, and automated documentation
Take ownership of services in production - you build it, ship it, monitor it, and improve it

What We Look For

5-8 years of experience building backend systems in production environments
Strong expertise in system design, distributed systems, and scalable architectures
Proven ability to write clean, maintainable, and efficient code
Deep understanding of engineering practices, tooling, CI/CD, and operational readiness
Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical decisions
Experience improving performance, reliability, and observability of live systems

What We Expect

Deliver critical projects with high quality and predictable timelines
Act as a force multiplier by improving team productivity and engineering standards
Collaborate closely with product, operations, and leadership to solve real business problems
Balance technical depth with pragmatism in a fast-moving environment

Why Work at Aris

Engineering with real impact: Your work directly affects logistics, payments, and compliance
Serious backend problems: Systems handle real transactions, not demo workloads
Practical AI: Used in pricing, credit, logistics, and fraud - not just experiments
Scalable engineering practices: CI/CD, infra-as-code, design reviews

Builder culture: You’ll work closely with engineers and founders
