Job Description
The CoinDCX Journey: Building the Future of Finance:
At CoinDCX, our mission is clear - to make crypto and blockchain accessible to every Indian and enable them to participate in the future of finance.
As India’s first crypto unicorn valued at $2.45B, we are reshaping the financial ecosystem by building safe, transparent, and scalable products that power adoption at scale.
We believe that change starts together. It begins with bold ideas, relentless execution and people who want to build what’s next.
If you’re driven by purpose and thrive in environments where your work defines the next chapter of an industry, you’ll feel right at home here.
About the Role:
This isn’t a typical SDE3 Platform Engineering role.
You will operate at the intersection of performance engineering, infrastructure platforms, developer experience, observability, and production reliability for one of India’s largest crypto trading ecosystems. As part of the Performance Platform Engineering team, you’ll build internal platforms and infrastructure systems that power high-scale trading workloads across Futures, Options, Spot, and Exchange systems. Your work will directly impact execution speed, platform reliability, infrastructure efficiency, and engineering velocity across the organization.
This role requires deep ownership across platform architecture, performance systems, infra automation, observability, chaos engineering, cost optimization, and self-serve developer tooling. You will help shift the organization from execution-heavy operational workflows toward scalable platform-first engineering systems that improve reliability while reducing operational overhead. Your decisions will directly influence scale readiness, release confidence, production resilience, and infrastructure efficiency at “crypto-speed.”
What You’ll Do:
Platform Engineering & Internal Tooling:
Design and build reusable internal platforms such as Universal Performance Platforms, Runbook UIs, self-serve infra management systems, debugging frameworks, and execution orchestration tooling that reduce dependency on centralized Perf/DevOps teams.
Performance Infrastructure & Scale Systems:
Own and optimize large-scale performance environments supporting high-throughput trading systems across Futures, Options, and Exchange workloads. Improve execution efficiency, environment reliability, and production-performance parity.
Reliability, Observability & Chaos Engineering:
Build robust observability systems leveraging metrics, logging, tracing, alerting, and automated health validation. Drive chaos engineering practices and resilience testing to proactively identify failure points across critical systems.
Infrastructure Optimization & Cost Efficiency:
Drive measurable infra cost optimization through automation, infra right-sizing, serverless adoption, workload optimization, and intelligent resource utilization while maintaining strict performance SLAs and execution readiness.
Developer Experience & Self-Serve Platforms:
Enable engineering teams with faster, self-serve workflows for performance validation, infra provisioning, debugging, monitoring, and execution management to significantly improve developer productivity and release velocity.
Automation & Platform Reliability:
Automate repetitive operational workflows across performance execution, infra scaling, deployment validation, system debugging, and environment lifecycle management using Infrastructure as Code and platform automation principles.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Partner closely with Backend, Infra, DevOps, SRE, Security, and Exchange teams to establish scalable platform standards, improve production readiness, and drive engineering best practices across the organization.
You’ll Know You’re Winning When:
- Performance execution turnaround times reduce significantly through self-serve platform adoption and workflow automation.
- Engineering teams independently execute performance validations, infra operations, and debugging workflows with minimal centralized dependency.
- Infrastructure costs are measurably optimized while maintaining high reliability and execution performance.
- Platform reliability improves through stronger observability, automated validation, and reduced production incidents.
- MTTR and infra-related execution failures reduce substantially across critical trading systems.
- Production readiness and release confidence improve through stronger environment parity, resilience validation, and platform standards.
- Internal platforms become foundational systems adopted widely across Futures, Options, Spot, and Exchange teams.
Hiring Process:
Here’s what your journey with us looks like:
- Application Review – We assess for skills, alignment, and intent
- Recruiter Connect – A short conversation to understand you better
- Functional Round(s) – Deep dive into your approach, craft, and problem-solving
- Assignment / Simulation Round – A take-home task or live problem-solving exercise to understand how you think and execute in real scenarios
- Culture & Values Discussion – A conversation to understand our ways of working and how you thrive best
- Founder Conversation (Optional) – For certain roles and senior levels, you may meet our founders to explore strategic alignment and long-term fit
Where We Work:
We believe the best ideas emerge when people build together. Collaboration, speed and trust come alive when teams share the same space.
With this belief, we operate as a work-from-office organisation. This role is based out of ourBengaluru office, where energy, alignment and innovation move in real time.
Perks That Empower You:
We believe great people deserve great experiences.
- Design Your Own Benefits: Flexible perks to match your lifestyle
- Unlimited Wellness Leaves: Rest and recharge as you need
- Mental Wellness Support: Access to therapy and wellness resources
- Learning Sessions: Bi-weekly learning and growth opportunities
