Senior Engineer — Platform, Bengaluru (Hybrid)

We're hiring a senior engineer to own one of the four production systems that move money for our 200+ B2B customers. You'll be the directly responsible individual for uptime, performance, and the next 6 months of feature work on that system.

You'll own: one production service end-to-end · its on-call rotation · its roadmap · the code reviews of 2 mid-level engineers contributing to it.

You bring: 5+ years writing production Java or Go · deep AWS (we use ECS, RDS Postgres, SQS) · comfort being the senior voice in a room of 6 engineers · a track record of owning something — a service, a feature, a migration — through to its boring stable state.

Comp: ₹32–48 LPA fixed + ESOPs. Hybrid (2 days/week in our Indiranagar office).

How to apply: reply with a system you've owned and a paragraph on what you learned from the worst incident on it.

Top 10 strategic acquirers for $50M ARR HR-tech vertical SaaS

Tier 1 — Highest fit, recent M&A activity in HR-tech:

1. Workday — buyer of choice for HR-tech post-Series-B. Recent acquisitions: Peakon ($700M), Adaptive Insights ($1.7B). Cash position: $7B+. Strategic fit: 9/10. First touch: Pete Schlampp (CTO) via your shared investor at Insight Partners; angle: Workday's M&A pipeline is publicly active and they look at $50-200M ARR companies for product extension.

2. SAP SuccessFactors — incumbent, large M&A budget. Recent: Qualtrics (now spun out), but still acquisitive in HR-tech. First touch: Jill Popelka (President, SAP SuccessFactors) — your VC partners likely have shared boards. Angle: international expansion + AI capability gap.

3. Oracle Fusion HCM — quiet but heavy acquirer; willing to pay above-market for fits. First touch: Oracle's strategic M&A team (publicly listed); cold-warm intro via Larry Ellison's network is unlikely; better path is via your investment bank.

Postmortem: Database failover failure — 4h customer-impacting outage

Date: Tuesday, [date]
Duration: 14:02 – 18:14 PT (4h 12m)
Severity: P1 (customer-facing, revenue-impacting)
Author: [SRE on-call] · Reviewed by: [Eng director, Customer team]

TL;DR

Our primary Postgres instance experienced a hardware failure at 14:02 PT. The configured automatic failover to the standby did not trigger because the health check we relied on had been silently misconfigured during a deploy three weeks earlier. We manually promoted the standby at 18:09, restored writes at 18:14. Approximately 87% of write requests during the window failed; reads degraded but mostly succeeded due to read-replica caching. No customer data was lost. Estimated revenue impact: $42K in failed transactions, all of which were retried successfully by the upstream Stripe flow.
