Software Development Engineer

Candidates typically face a timed online coding test followed by a deep‑technical interview focusing on full‑stack development, system design and cloud deployment. The HR round assesses cultural fit and communication skills. Overall difficulty is moderate to high, with emphasis on problem‑solving speed and clear articulation of design choices.

Round 1: Online coding assessment (data structures, algorithms, system design basics) → Round 2: Technical interview (deep dive into full‑stack development, databases, cloud deployment) → Round 3: HR interview (culture fit, communication, expectations)

Gather AI is an emerging technology startup focused on transforming the supply chain through intelligent warehouse automation. By combining computer vision, autonomous drones, and existing material handling equipment, the company has built a vision‑powered platform that digitises every step of warehouse operations. This platform reduces manual errors, improves safety, and drives on‑time, in‑full deliveries for large logistics and retail customers. The firm operates at the intersection of robotics, AI, and cloud‑native software, and is rapidly expanding its engineering teams across the globe.\n\nThe Full Stack Software Development Engineer II role is part of Gather AI’s core engineering organisation. Reporting to the lead of the Full Stack and WMS integration squads, the SDE II will own end‑to‑end development of the web platforms that power Drone Vision, MHE Vision and the SAGE dashboard. The position is fully remote within India, offering early‑career engineers the chance to work on production‑grade services, influence architectural decisions and see their code run in live warehouse environments.\n\nKey responsibilities include:\n1. Design, develop and maintain backend services using Python and Node.js/NestJS.\n2. Build robust REST APIs and integration layers for internal and external systems.\n3. Create and optimise PostgreSQL schemas, write complex queries, and perform performance tuning.\n4. Implement asynchronous workflows with message queues such as Kafka or RabbitMQ, handling retries and idempotency.\n5. Apply caching strategies using Redis and ensure proper cache invalidation.\n6. Containerise applications with Docker, orchestrate deployments on Kubernetes, and manage CI/CD pipelines.\n7. Monitor production health through logs, metrics, dashboards and respond to incidents promptly.\n8. Contribute to security best practices including authentication, authorization and secret management.\n9. Collaborate with senior engineers, product managers and customer success teams to shape feature roadmaps.\n10. Continuously improve code quality, reliability and engineering processes.\n\nThe tech stack revolves around Python, Node.js/NestJS, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, Azure (or AWS), Git, and modern CI/CD tools. Engineers are encouraged to deepen expertise in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems and data pipelines, opening pathways to senior engineering, architecture or product leadership roles. Joining Gather AI means working on cutting‑edge robotics software that directly impacts global logistics, learning from seasoned mentors, and enjoying a culture that values autonomy, clear communication and rapid iteration. The remote‑first model provides flexibility while fostering a collaborative, outcome‑driven environment.
