Aris is building core infrastructure for how construction materials are sourced, financed, and moved across India. This isn’t a marketplace or a layer on top of existing systems, we’re building the underlying technology that powers logistics, credit decisions, and compliance at scale.
Our platform runs live operations across 900+ pin codes and supports real-time tracking, automated documentation, and financial decisioning across a large supply chain. Performance, reliability, and correctness matter here - this is backend-heavy work where systems operate continuously and at scale.
As a Principal Engineer at Aris, you’ll be responsible for driving engineering excellence and strengthening our digital infrastructure platform that supports one of India’s fastest-growing construction supply ecosystems. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to build scalable, reliable, and secure solutions that power core capabilities such as automated procurement, real-time delivery tracking, credit risk scoring, and end-to-end supply chain digitisation.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Delivery & Engineering
Design, develop and deploy scalable microservices supporting procurement workflows, vendor matching, and delivery management.
Build backend systems optimized for heavy transactional load and real-time data processing, enabling procurement decisions in minutes.
Ensure efficient and resilient integrations with internal services (e.g., order processing, documentation digitisation) and external vendor systems/APIs.
Implement event-driven architectures using message brokers, queues or streaming platforms to handle high-throughput vendor and material data.
Data, Intelligence & Automation
Leverage machine learning models and AI algorithms to optimize vendor recommendations and demand forecasting.
Implement real-time analytics dashboards, alerting systems, and performance telemetry for business and operational metrics.
Contribute to data pipeline architectures and ETL processes that power analytics, credit risk scoring, and supply chain intelligence.
Platform Reliability & Operations
Apply best practices in DevOps and CI/CD pipelines for rapid code delivery with automated testing, security scans, and deployment automation.
Enhance observability through metrics, logs, tracing, and anomaly detection tools to maintain high availability of mission-critical systems.
Collaborate with DevOps and SRE teams to ensure performance at scale with minimal downtime.
Security, Compliance & Quality
Champion secure coding practices and enforce compliance with data protection, confidentiality, and source control protocols.
Conduct code reviews, performance profiling, and automated security testing to uphold engineering standards.
Required Skills & Experience
Technical Expertise
Proven experience in backend development with Node.js / Python / Java / Go and building RESTful or GraphQL APIs.
Strong fundamentals in distributed systems, cloud architecture (AWS/GCP/Azure), and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
Experience with stream processing technologies (e.g., Kafka), database technologies (SQL and NoSQL), and caching layers.
Familiarity with event-driven design patterns, messaging systems, and asynchronous processing.
Adept at designing secure and scalable CI/CD workflows and infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform/CloudFormation.
Analytical & Problem Solving
Ability to model complex business problems into reliable engineering solutions.
Experience with performance tuning and capacity planning in high-throughput systems.
