We at Setu are looking for those who share our core belief - Every Day is Game Day. We bring our best selves to work each day to realize our mission of enriching the world through the power of digital commerce and financial services.

Importance of the role

At Setu, we believe that every company can become a fintech company. Any tech-enabled business that wants to offer or build financial products will rely on Setu APIs. To achieve this goal, we need engineers who are ready to tackle the challenges at the intersection of Setu's products and customers requirements, engage in meaningful technical discussions, and help our customers

thrive. Our success as a company is directly tied to our customers success. Most importantly, we

need you to be empathetic, understanding that many of our customers may not be tech-savvy due

to their roots in traditional institutions.

What will you do at Setu

You will work on the Solutions Engineering Team and primarily help our customers with

consuming Setu's Products. Below are some of the responsibilities that we expect you to

● Architecting — Figuring out all levels of designing and structuring systems,

design, and adhere to common principles and patterns that make everyone better at

their jobs. Should be able to contribute according to timelines and type of projects —

from working with POCs to stabilize the production code and the ability to work with a

large breadth of knowledge.

● Orchestration and integration — Interact with the larger engineering team to integrate

your work into the ecosystem, help others in building over the base that you provide, and

help in orchestrating your work into CI/CD, testing, QA, and automation pipelines.

● Mentorship — We all love to learn and grow as engineers and human beings. We believe

in synchronous growth as a team fueled by every individual's abilities, specializations,

and interests. To enable this, you'll be required to mentor others by sharing your

expertise in various forms and be subject to being mentored by others and thus maintain

a continuous learning culture.

● Ownership — End-to-end ownership of services and specialized components required for

various projects - starting from the prototypal stage to production-hardened.

● Documentation — Create well-crafted technical content, and architecture diagrams,

including samples, and training.

● Engage with customers through calls to understand their requirements and assist

them in effectively using our products. (In-person visit to their office if needed)

managing technical integrations between Biller APIs and Setu infrastructure.

● Develop, maintain, and enhance existing frameworks and systems while building

new ones as needed.

initiatives.
