Zealant Consulting Group

Why This Role Exists
We ship fast. Our platform takes brands from brief to full research report in minutes — and the engineering behind that has to be tight, reliable, and constantly improving.
We work with some of India's biggest consumer companies and fastest-moving D2C brands — Coca-Cola, Britannia, Foxtale — and partner with some of the largest agencies like WPP.
We're hiring a Software Engineer who can pick up a ticket and close it. Not someone who needs hand-holding through scope or technology choices — someone who reads the requirement, figures out the right approach, and ships something they're proud of.
What You'll Actually Do
<ul>
<li>Own tickets end-to-end: understand the problem, make the call, ship the feature, and handle the edge cases.</li>
<li>Build across the stack — frontend, backend, or both depending on where you're strongest.</li>
<li>Work with TypeScript, ReactJS/NextJS on the frontend and Python/Go on the backend.</li>
<li>Design and work with SQL and NoSQL databases as part of feature development.</li>
<li>Collaborate with product and design to implement experiences that actually feel good to use.</li>
<li>Debug, optimize, and improve systems that are already in production.</li>
<li>Learn fast — the stack will evolve and you're expected to evolve with it.</li>
</ul>
Who We Think This Is For
Experience: 3+ years of engineering experience.
Startup experience is preferred — not because corporates are bad, but because you already know what it means to ship without a safety net.
You Probably
<ul>
<li>Have closed real features in production, not just academic or tutorial projects.</li>
<li>Specialize in either frontend or backend but can move across the stack when needed.</li>
<li>Are comfortable in Python or Go on the backend, and TypeScript with ReactJS/NextJS on the frontend.</li>
<li>Know your way around cloud environments — AWS or GCP.</li>
<li>Understand databases well enough to make sensible design decisions, SQL and NoSQL.</li>
<li>Have at least two projects you'd genuinely put in front of someone and say: "I built this, here's why it's good."</li>
<li>Learn new tools by using them, not by waiting until you feel ready.</li>
</ul>
This Role Is Probably Not For You If
<ul>
<li>You need a detailed spec before you can start.</li>
<li>Your best work lives in a private repo no one has seen.</li>
<li>You're looking for a large team with defined lanes — here, you own what you pick up.</li>
</ul>
