At AlGooru, we're not just building a platform; we're building a future where personalized learning is accessible to everyone. As our Senior Software Engineer, you'll be at the heart of the Engineering tribe, driving impact by:

1. Deliver clean, maintainable, and scalable code
2. Integrate seamlessly into the engineering workflow and push 3+ stable releases within the first 90 days
3. Migrate or optimize 2 core modules within the first 6 months to enhance product scalability and modularity

A Day in Your Life

• Write clean, well-documented code across our mono-repo.

• Partner with Product & Design to scope, slice, and deliver incremental value.

Architecture & Design

• Lead end-to-end solution architecture for major features; define module/service boundaries and clear contracts.
• Drive system design for scalability, reliability, and cost: capacity planning, horizontal scaling, graceful degradation, and back-pressure.
• Own data & database design: relational schema modeling, indexing strategies, query optimization, migrations, and retention/archival; integrate Elasticsearch as a search layer where it adds value.
• Design APIs & integrations: versioning, pagination, and contract testing.
• Shape event-driven architecture with RabbitMQ: exchange/routing strategy, DLQs, retries/backoff, and deduplication.
• Define caching & performance strategies (cache-aside, rate limiting, hot-path profiling) and SLIs/SLOs.
• Elevate observability & security: structured logging, metrics and tracing; authN/authZ, least privilege, and secrets management.

Our Stack

• Frontend: React 19, shadcn/ui, Module Federation
