Senior Software Engineer

Company Overview

Founded in 2023 by IIT and Stanford GSB alumni, Truva is building the most delightful and trustworthy home-buying experience in India — akin to Spinny for homes.

Our comprehensive platform enables the buyer's journey end to end: from discovering great houses and scheduling visits to ensuring legal and financial support. We are a young, ambitious company, and have raised a seed round of $3M from marquee investors, signaling strong potential for rapid growth.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our core founding team, working directly with the CTO and founders.

At Truva, you will help redefine the online home-buying experience by solving first-principle problems — treating this not as a real estate challenge, but as a customer experience opportunity.

What You’ll Do

1. Collaborate directly with the CTO and product/design teams to rethink how homes are bought online

2. Build and maintain full-stack web applications using Next.js (React) on the frontend and Node.js (Express/Nest) on the backend

3. Translate wireframes and product specs into scalable, maintainable code

4. Write clean, testable, and performant JavaScript/TypeScript code

5. Optimize applications for speed, scalability, and user experience

6. Design and consume RESTful APIs, and integrate third-party services

7. Participate in agile ceremonies: code reviews, sprint planning, and daily stand-ups

8. Stay updated with the latest in web development trends and best practices

We’re Looking for Someone With

• 3+ years of experience as a software engineer in product-based companies
• Proficiency with JavaScript frameworks (Node.js, Next.js, React, etc.)
• Comfort working across frontend and backend stacks
• Strong collaboration skills to work closely with designers, PMs, and leadership
• A balanced mindset: knowing when to build in-house vs leverage third-party tools
• Openness to work with modern tech stacks (Node.js, Next.js, Java, Python, React, AngularJS — any is fine as long as you are adaptable)
