Job description

Who we want

You’ll be the technical heartbeat of Habit. Owning architecture, engineering culture, and delivery. You’ll partner with Product, Ops, and Leadership as the single technical point-of-contact, setting the bar for speed and quality while scaling a 10-minute food delivery platform.

We’re looking for someone with strong CS fundamentals, proven ownership of systems end-to-end, and the ability to translate ambitious product goals into pragmatic, scalable technical roadmaps.

Your playground

  • End-to-end technical ownership of Habit : architecture, infra, security, and engineering standards.
  • Translate product goals into robust systems. Prioritise trade-offs, own delivery.
  • Build the core backend platforms, and guide frontend (mobile / web) and data-science projects.
  • Set up observability, CI / CD, and incident practices from day one.
  • Mentor engineers while still writing code and setting the culture for reviews, design, and discipline.

Key responsibilities

  • Define overall architecture and system design (APIs, data layer, auth, caching, jobs, analytics).
  • Own the tech roadmap and balance feature delivery with technical debt.
  • Set delivery discipline : reviews, testing, release processes, deployment safety.
  • Build secure, scalable cloud infra (networking, secrets management, backups, DR).
  • Implement monitoring, alerting, SLOs, and incident playbooks.
  • Act as the escalation point for technical decisions and incidents.
  • Hire, mentor, and grow a high-ownership engineering team.
  • Must-have skills

  • Strong CS fundamentals : data structures, algorithms, system design, concurrency, distributed systems.
  • 7+ years building and scaling backend systems in production. Proven ownership of architecture and delivery.
  • Expertise in one or more backend languages (Java preferred, Python / Kotlin ok). Ability to read across stacks.
  • Strong relational DB experience : schema design, indexing, tuning, transactions.
  • Cloud chops : GCP preferred, AWS / Azure / OCI fine. Containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
  • Experience with CI / CD, infra-as-code (Terraform / CloudFormation), and safe deployment patterns.
  • Practical experience in observability : Prometheus, Grafana, tracing, incident management.
  • Some exposure to data pipelines and ML integration points.
  • Excellent communication : can interface smoothly with Product, Ops, and Leadership.
  • Experience hiring, mentoring, and building small engineering teams.
  • Why Habit?

    At Habit, speed isn’t just about food. It’s how we build.

    You’ll get end-to-end ownership, a clean slate to set the tech culture, and the chance to solve problems that impact thousands of hungry customers every day.

    Think it. Build it. Ship it in 10.
