SDE3 (Platform Engineer)

Role: SDE3 ( Platform Engineer)

Location: Bangalore/Chennai

Experience: 4-8 yrs

About Loadshare:

LoadShare is one of India’s most innovative and resilient logistics platforms, transforming how goods move across the country. Founded in 2017, we’ve grown to become a pan-India, multi-category last-mile network with a unique presence in both Tier 1 metros and deep Tier 2/3 towns. 

What sets us apart: 

• Scale with depth: We handle ~550K deliveries/day across food, e-commerce (B2C), B2B retail, and digital commerce, powered by a 30,000+ rider network. 
• Strong financials, stronger ambition: With ₹800+ Cr in FY26 revenue and support from global investors (Tiger Global, Matrix, BII, Stellaris, BeeNext), we have a long runway and a path to profitability. 
• Dual-engine model: We not only operate India’s most flexible last-mile delivery network, but also license our in-house logistics tech platform that processes an additional 20 lakh orders/day — one of the few in India to enable asset cross-utilization across verticals. 
• Strong Tech: We are in a unique position to cross-utilize the delivery boys across different earning opportunities matching the peaks of various use-cases throughout the day. (ex: grocery peaks at 6-8 am, while bike taxi peaks from 8 to 10 am, etc). In addition to this, our supply chain SaaS platforms power over 1M+ shipments per day.
• Strategic partner to India’s digital economy: We work with every major digital commerce player (ecomm, quick commerce, food, mobility) , and are expanding wallet share and capabilities within existing giants while co-creating new models with emerging platforms and brands. 
• Built to scale profitably: We’re not chasing GMV at all costs. We’re building the most capital-efficient, tech-enabled logistics engine in the country. We’re now building for our next phase: a 5X scale-up over the next 5 years, anchored in sharper client focus, deeper solutions, and new growth engines. 

Founders/ Founding team: 

• Raghu Talluri (CEO) - Formerly at Myntra, McKinsey

About the Role:

We are investing in a dedicated Platform Engineering function to improve developer experience, enforce security and compliance best practices, build the right AI infrastructure for the organisation, and drive technical innovation that yields measurable cost savings.

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will own the design and delivery of shared infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, AI platform harnesses, developer tooling, and self-service platforms that enable our product engineering teams to ship faster, safer, and more independently. You will also be responsible for establishing the AI software development lifecycle (SDLC) practices and infrastructure that allow teams across the org to build, evaluate, and deploy AI-powered features with confidence. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who thinks like a product engineer but operates at the infrastructure layer.

What We Are Looking For

Must-Have

• 4 - 8 years of professional software engineering experience with strong programming skills (Java, Python, or Node.js).
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred, GCP/Azure acceptable) including networking, IAM, compute, and storage services.
• Proven experience designing and managing CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, or equivalent).
• Solid understanding of containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, ECS/EKS).
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi).
• Working knowledge of secrets management (HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager), security scanning, and compliance controls.
• Familiarity with code quality tooling such as SonarQube, linting frameworks, and static analysis.
• Exposure to AI workflows understanding of how LLM-based applications are built, evaluated, and deployed (prompt engineering, model APIs, RAG patterns, vector databases).
• Strong communication skills you will work across product teams and need to influence without authority.

Good-to-Have

• Experience building internal developer platforms, self-service portals, or developer tooling.
• Hands-on experience with feature flag systems.
• Familiarity with service meshes, API gateways, and microservices patterns.
• Experience with observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, Datadog).
• Familiarity with AI agent frameworks and orchestration patterns for agentic workflows.
• Exposure to compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or PCI-DSS.
• Prior experience in a logistics, supply-chain, or high-throughput transactional environment.

Why This Role

• High ownership — directly influence developer productivity and engineering velocity across the entire company.
• Breadth + depth — a rare mix of programming, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and product thinking in a single role.
• Innovation mandate — dedicated time and space to explore new technologies and drive cost-saving innovations.
• AI-first trajectory — build the AI infrastructure layer from scratch and define how the entire org adopts and ships AI-powered features.
• Growing team — be part of a platform engineering team that is scaling up and shaping how engineering works across the org.

Team Structure

You will be a senior individual contributor on the platform engineering team, working alongside DevOps engineers and collaborating closely with product engineering leads. You will report directly to the Director of Engineering.
