Senior System Engineer - Backend

Nuclei is a fintech SaaS startup working already with over 18+ large enterprise clients across Asia in just a span of over 5 years.

Why are we building Nuclei?

Before we started Nuclei, we listed down a few guiding principles. These were essentially our learning from the previous startups/companies:

1. Think big, think global, and not limit ourselves only to India.

2. Build a company. We wanted to be sustainable from day 1 and build a profitable business. This does not mean that we compromise on growth, but we most definitely avoid unsustainable growth.

3. Build for the long term, not flip it in a few years.

4. And most importantly, we wanted to change the perception about India, from being a back-office/outsourcing destination, to a product destination.

5.  All the above points came together to form Nuclei's vision - "To build a well-respected global product company. "At Nuclei, we are building innovative products that enable enterprises to increase customer engagement & build deeper relationships while transforming into a "Super-app".

Nuclei is currently undergoing expansion across Asia, SEA & MEA
