Build the backend behind India's next 100M-user apps

Eloelo Group is one of India's fastest-growing consumer tech companies — the team behind Story TV (India's #1 micro-drama platform, 100M+ downloads, 500+ original titles produced with studios like Balaji Telefilms and Applause Entertainment) and Master (India's #1 micro-learning app, 5M users in 50 days, 1,000+ bite-sized courses). Across our apps, we've crossed 250M+ downloads , with multiple Eloelo apps in India's Top 10 and 100M+ Indians consuming short-form vertical content every single day.

If you want to own architecture decisions, ship systems that get stress-tested by millions of users immediately, and directly shape what Bharat watches and learns next — this is the place to build it.

What You'll Actually Do

• •Own outcomes, not just tickets. Get close to real user behavior and turn every release into a measurable improvement in experience.
• •Drive the architecture, not just the implementation. Take end-to-end ownership of delivery and solution architecture for your feature area — design systems that are scalable, reliable, and fault-tolerant by default.
• •Think in HLDs and LLDs. Translate ambiguous, complex backend problems into clean, well-reasoned designs — and then build them.
• •Obsess over API performance. Push for best-in-class response times and reliability across every feature you touch.
• •Mentor junior engineers and raise the bar on code quality through reviews and design discussions.

What You Bring

• •3+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, testing, and deploying large-scale applications .
• •Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and OOPs , with solid command of concurrency and multi-threading .
• •Proficiency in Java , with GoLang or Python as a strong plus.
• •Comfort modeling data across both relational and NoSQL databases.
• •The ability to design and ship low-latency RESTful services that hold up under real traffic.
• •Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure ( AWS/GCP ) and distributed queue systems like Kafka .
• •A habit of refactoring and improving systems continuously — not letting technical debt pile up.
• •Genuine curiosity and a hunger for hard problems.

Extra Brownie Points

• •You've ridden the wave of rapid company growth — startup to mid-size — and know what breaks (and what to fix) along the way.
• •You've helped decompose a monolith into microservices .
• •You've worked with Firebase or WebSockets in production.

If building fast, scaling faster, and shaping how millions of Indians consume content and learn sounds like your kind of problem — let's talk.
