The posting

ENGINEERING MANAGER

Location: Bengaluru – Onsite

Experience: 8+ Years

Employment Type: Full-time

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

BUILD TECHNOLOGY THAT MOVES MILLIONS.

At Habuild, we're on a mission to make wellness a daily habit.

With 2 crore+ lives impacted, 4.5 lakh+ people joining us daily, and 10 world records, we're building one of India's largest wellness movements.

Founded by IIT/IIM alumni, we're a product-first, experiment-driven team that believes technology can create meaningful behaviour change at scale.

And we're just getting started.

We're looking for an Engineering Manager who loves solving hard engineering problems, building great teams, and creating systems that don't break when millions of people depend on them.

Someone who can think architecture, get into the code, mentor engineers, and take complete ownership of what gets shipped.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE OPPORTUNITY: LEAD TEAMS. BUILD SYSTEMS. ENGINEER FOR MILLIONS.

You'll lead the backend engineering team powering Habuild's growing ecosystem, building technology that supports millions of people on their wellness journeys.

From architecting distributed systems to building a team that ships fast without compromising quality, you'll shape how we build, scale, and evolve our products.

You'll make critical technical decisions, solve complex engineering challenges, and create systems that are reliable, scalable, and ready for what's next.

But this isn't a role where you simply manage timelines and attend meetings.

We want someone who can go deep into the code, challenge technical decisions, unblock engineers, and lead from the front.

You'll have the freedom to make decisions, the ownership to execute them, and the opportunity to see your work impact millions of users.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHAT YOU'LL MAKE HAPPEN

01. BUILD A TEAM THAT BUILDS GREAT THINGS

Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing backend engineering team. Hire great engineers, raise the technical bar, and build a culture where people take ownership, challenge ideas, and consistently deliver.

02. ARCHITECT FOR MILLIONS, NOT THOUSANDS

Design and scale high-performance backend systems using Node.js. Make architecture decisions that balance scalability, reliability, speed, and long-term maintainability.

03. MAKE DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS WORK

Build and evolve microservices-based architectures. Solve complex challenges involving service communication, fault tolerance, consistency, and distributed system performance.

04. BUILD SYSTEMS THAT REACT IN REAL TIME

Own event-driven architectures using Kafka or similar messaging systems. Build reliable asynchronous workflows, efficient event-processing pipelines, and systems that remain resilient under heavy loads.

05. SET THE ENGINEERING BAR

Drive technical excellence across system design, code quality, testing, and engineering practices. Review critical designs, challenge assumptions, and establish standards that help the team build better software.

06. TURN PRODUCT IDEAS INTO ENGINEERING REALITY

Work closely with product, design, and business teams to translate ambitious ideas into scalable technical solutions. Balance execution speed with engineering quality and help the team ship meaningful improvements consistently.

07. OWN WHAT HAPPENS AFTER WE SHIP

Take responsibility for system reliability, performance, availability, and observability. Identify bottlenecks before they become problems, optimise infrastructure, and ensure our systems perform when it matters most.

08. MAKE SHIPPING FASTER AND SMARTER

Partner with DevOps and infrastructure teams to improve CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, deployments, and developer productivity. Build an engineering environment where shipping reliable software becomes easier every day.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for someone with 8+ years of backend engineering experience, including meaningful experience leading engineers, owning technical decisions, and building production systems at scale.

You should bring strong hands-on expertise in Node.js, a deep understanding of microservices and distributed systems, and experience building event-driven architectures using Kafka or similar technologies.

You'll be comfortable working with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, along with modern infrastructure technologies including Docker and Kubernetes.

Beyond the technology, we're looking for someone who understands system design, scalability, performance optimisation, and reliability. Someone who can review architecture, debug complex problems, mentor engineers, and make sound technical decisions.

Most importantly, you should be able to bring engineering, product, and business teams together, communicate clearly, and take complete ownership of outcomes.

High ownership, first-principles thinking, and a bias for action are non-negotiable.

BONUS POINTS IF:

You've built something from scratch, contributed to open source, or have personal applications running in production.

You've worked on B2C products at significant scale, still genuinely enjoy coding, or are passionate about wellness, fitness, and technology that changes everyday behaviour.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHY HABUILD?

REAL SCALE. REAL PROBLEMS.

Build technology supporting millions of users, not hypothetical scale discussed in system design interviews.

OWNERSHIP THAT ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING.

Make architecture decisions, shape engineering culture, build your team, and take responsibility for outcomes.

BUILD FAST. LEARN FASTER.

We're an experiment-driven company where good ideas move quickly, decisions aren't buried under layers of approvals, and execution matters.

WORK WITH PEOPLE WHO CARE.

Collaborate with ambitious engineers, product thinkers, and builders who want to solve meaningful problems together.

TECHNOLOGY WITH A PURPOSE.

Every improvement you make helps deliver a better experience to people trying to build healthier lives.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

BEFORE WE BUILD TOGETHER, LET'S EXPERIENCE HABUILD.

Breathe. Pause. Reset.

We believe the best way to understand our mission is to experience it yourself.

As part of our interview process, we'd love for you to join our free yoga program at:

http://habit.yoga/

Attend the sessions for at least 4–5 days and then share your honest feedback with us.

What did you love? What could have been better? What would you change or build differently?

We're not looking for perfect answers. We're looking for curiosity, empathy, and the ability to see opportunities where others see an ordinary experience.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

READY TO ENGINEER SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY?

At Habuild, you won't just manage engineers or build backend services.

You'll build the technology, the systems, and the team behind a movement that helps millions of people show up for themselves every single day.

Let's make wellness a daily habit. Together.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
