Plum is on a mission to revolutionize healthcare in India by making health insurance simple, accessible, and inclusive for modern organizations. With healthcare costs rising at 3x the rate of general inflation, Plum aims to provide employer-sponsored insurance to millions of Indians who cannot afford individual health insurance.

In this role, you'll be writing reusable, testable, and efficient code to build features and improvements to the Plum product. You'll collaborate closely with Product Management and other engineering teams to maintain high quality standards in a fast-paced, iterative environment. Your advocacy for improvements in product quality, security, and performance will be crucial in helping Plum achieve its goal of providing the highest quality insurance and healthcare to 10 million lives by FY2030.

We're looking for a seasoned professional with 5+ years of experience in shipping backend applications, with expertise in technologies like Node.js, Java, Ruby on Rails, Python, or Go. Your experience with frameworks such as Express, Spring Boot, Rails, or Django will be valuable, and familiarity with NextJS and TypeScript is a plus. You should be comfortable integrating multiple data sources and databases, and have a solid understanding of scalable API infrastructure design principles.

The ideal candidate is self-motivated, self-managing, and has strong organizational skills. You should be able to own a project from concept to production, including proposal, discussion, and execution. Experience maintaining a production-grade open-source project would be an additional advantage.

Join Plum, backed by Tiger Global and Peak XV Partners, and be part of a mission-driven team that's making a significant impact on healthcare accessibility in India. If you're passionate about using your backend engineering skills to create meaningful change, we want to hear from you!
