Founding Engineer - Pocket Writer

Be the engineer who builds the future of writing

About Pocket Writer

Pocket Writer is redefining how creators write, publish, and grow. We’re building an AI-powered writing and publishing platform that helps creators bring their ideas to life - from titles and content to visualisation and community-building.

If you’ve ever wanted to own a product end-to-end, build something that scales from zero to thousands, and be part of a founding story, this role is for you.

Why This Role Is Special

We’ve built our MVP and are closing in on our Beta launch. Now we’re entering the most exciting phase - building on top of a solid base to deliver a seamless, creator-first experience that redefines modern writing platforms.

You’ll own the entire engineering pipeline — backend, deployment, app integrations, and everything in between.

Work directly with the founders to shape product direction, strategy, and tech roadmap.

Ship features fast while maintaining long-term scalability

Freedom to experiment and innovate — no red tape, no corporate layers.

Exposure to investors, the startup ecosystem, and future leadership opportunities post-funding.

A chance to define what the next generation of creator platforms looks like.

What We’re Looking For

You’re not just a developer - you’re a builder. Someone who thrives in chaos, enjoys creating from scratch, and loves solving hard problems with elegant tech.

We’re looking for someone who can wear multiple hats - backend architect, Android engineer, debugger, problem solver, and product thinker

Core Responsibilities

Backend :

Strong in Java (Kotlin a plus)

Experience with Spring Boot, API design, authentication, session management

Hands-on with asynchronous programming (Coroutines / Futures)

Proficient in SQL (PostgreSQL), ORM frameworks (JPA / Hibernate / Exposed)

Bonus : Caching, queues (Kafka / RabbitMQ), background jobs, system design & scalability

Android :

Kotlin-based Android development

Familiar with MVVM / MVI / Clean Architecture

Networking using Retrofit, image rendering with Picasso / Coil

Experience integrating with REST APIs

Strong grasp of UI / UX performance and async handling (Coroutine & Flow)

Hands-on with nested RecyclerViews, multiple view types, dynamic layouts

General Engineering :

Write clean, modular, and testable code

Experience with unit / integration / UI tests, observability, and monitoring

Ability to set up microservices from scratch

Familiarity with analytics like Mixpanel, Firebase Analytics, and crash reporting

Product & Ownership :

End-to-end ownership : backend → mobile → deploy → debug

Strong product sense — balance speed, scale, and user experience

Prototype fast, iterate faster

Thrive in ambiguity and make things happen

What You’ll Get

A front-row seat to the 0→1 startup journey

Opportunity to learn, grow and build into a leadership role, post-funding

Ownership of engineering decisions and direction

Opportunity to build, scale, and lead the tech team

Work on something that helps thousands of creators bring their stories to life

(Don’t worry there is compensation as well …)

Compensation

₹20,000 – ₹40,000 / month (pre-funding)

Full-time remote role

Transition to leadership & ESOPs post-funding

Ideal For You If

You dream of being an early builder in a product-first startup.

You love ownership more than instructions.

You want to code, build, break, and rebuild - not maintain legacy systems.

You believe AI + creativity can change how the world writes.
