Senior Backend Engineer
Bengaluru (On-site)
Full Time
Posted on
Clueso is hiring a Senior Backend Engineer. This is a foundational role for someone who enjoys working across services, solving hard technical problems, and shipping clean, scalable systems fast.
Core Infrastructure & APIs: Design and scale backend services that power everything from export pipelines to versioning and analytics.
Distributed Compute Systems: Own the logic behind our parallel video rendering workflows, async job queues, and cross-service orchestration.
Performance & Reliability: Improve throughput, eliminate bottlenecks, and build systems that fail gracefully under load.
System Architecture: Play a central role in architectural decisions as we scale users, teams, and features.
Future Infra: Streaming, WebSocket infra, and real-time collaboration systems — all on the roadmap, and you’ll help build them.
Love owning systems end-to-end — from design to deployment to debugging in production
Get fired up by distributed systems, async queues, and infrastructure challenges most people avoid
Obsess over clean APIs, thoughtful abstractions, and building for scale
Prefer moving fast, making decisions quickly, and working without layers of red tape
Enjoy diving into messy, complex problems — and coming out with elegant solutions
Loved product, proven traction: #1 Product of the Week on Product Hunt, 4.9 rating on G2, and fast-growing adoption among top-tier customers.
Technically exciting: Our stack spans real-time video rendering, distributed exports, cross-region architecture, and AI pipelines — serious infra, not just API glue.
Tight-knit, top-tier team: You’ll work with a group of highly driven individuals, each with a track record of excellence. Backed by YC.
Catered meals: Lunch and dinner (except Sundays) provided every day.
Epic offsites: Our last offsite was in Vietnam, and most of us ranked it the best trip of our lives .
