About PhoneX India
PhoneX India is being set up in Kochi as a core extension of our US product engineering organization. This is not an offshore delivery, client staffing, or back-office engineering role. The goal is to build a serious product engineering, platform operations, and innovation hub in India. The people we hire early will help shape the technical foundation, engineering culture, and operating model for PhoneX India from the beginning.
We are looking for a hands-on engineer to join the founding India team and contribute directly to real production systems from day one. You will build and ship features across our cloud-native SaaS platform, work closely with senior engineers to grow your depth, and take ownership of well-scoped components end to end. This role is ideal for someone earlier in their career who wants to work on a real product — not client projects — learn from strong engineers, and build credibility through solid, hands-on contribution.
What you’ll do
Build, test, and ship features and services across the platform alongside senior engineers
Own well-scoped components end to end — implementation through deployment and production support
Write clean, tested, reviewable code and take part actively in code reviews
Debug and fix production issues in your area, learning how the system actually behaves
Use AI tools to improve your own development speed and code quality
Grow your depth in TypeScript/Node.js, AWS, and the wider stack with mentorship
Help build a high-quality engineering culture as one of the founding India team
Ideal profile
2–5 years of solid engineering experience building real software
Working backend experience with TypeScript and Node.js
Exposure to building or running applications on AWS (cloud-native SaaS)
Familiarity with APIs and how event-driven / distributed systems fit together
Hands-on with some of: React, TypeScript, Java/Spring Boot, relational databases, caching, CI/CD, observability
Comfortable reading and working within an existing codebase
Solid debugging instincts, a strong ownership mindset, and genuine eagerness to learn
Real interest in using AI pragmatically to build better and faster
Tech stack

What makes this different
You'll be one of the first engineers in PhoneX India, working on a real product alongside US engineering leadership and senior engineers who will invest in your growth. The work is hands-on and consequential from the start, with a clear path to senior responsibility as the center grows.
Compensation
Competitive compensation and meaningful growth opportunity as an early member of the founding India team.
