About Fam (previously FamPay)
Fam is India's first payments app for everyone above 11. FamApp helps make online and offline payments through UPI and FamCard. We are on a mission to raise a new, financially aware generation, and drive 250 million+ youngest users in India to kickstart their financial journey super early in their life.
Founded in 2019 by IIT Roorkee alumni, Fam is backed by some of the most respected investors around the world like Elevation Capital, Y-Combinator, Peak XV (Sequoia Capital) India, Venture Highway, Global Founder’s Capital and the likes of Kunal Shah, Amrish Rao as angel investors.

About this Role:
We are looking for a high-impact Architect to join Fam’s engineering leadership team. In this role, you will define and drive the long-term technical architecture across our product and platform domains. You’ll work closely with founders, product, and engineering leaders to align systems design with business strategy, enabling sustainable, scalable growth of our platform.
You won’t just build systems — you’ll shape the technical vision and decision-making culture across the org. We’re looking for someone with 10+ years of experience, who brings deep engineering expertise, has scaled high-growth systems, and can operate as a force multiplier across multiple teams.

On the Job
  • Define and evolve Fam’s long-term technical architecture across backend, platform, infrastructure, security, and data domains.
  • Partner with Engineering Leads, Senior Engineers, and Product stakeholders to translate business goals into scalable and secure systems.
  • Own architectural decisions for large-scale initiatives: infrastructure modernisation, platform evolution, system re-designs, org-wide migrations.
  • Drive architectural standards, governance models, and reusable frameworks that improve developer velocity and system consistency.
  • Evaluate trade-offs across performance, reliability, security, and cost; ensure tech choices are future-proof and org-aligned.
  • Act as a thought leader and mentor — growing the next generation of senior engineers and architects.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with security, compliance, and data teams to uphold industry-grade robustness and regulatory readiness.
  • Constantly scan and integrate emerging technologies where relevant — AI/ML infra, serverless models, edge computing, etc.
  • Act as a strong voice in build-vs-buy, re-architect-vs-refactor, and scale-vs-speed decisions at the org level.


  • Must-haves (Min. qualifications)
  • 10+ years of engineering experience with at least 3+ years in Staff, Principal Engineer, or Architect roles.
  • Proven track record in scaling distributed systems, backend architecture, and platform evolution in high-growth companies.
  • Deep understanding of cloud-native architectures (AWS/GCP), containerisation (Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code.
  • Experience influencing and leading large-scale technical decisions across multiple product or platform teams.
  • Strong systems thinking, with fluency in reliability, observability, security, and cross-domain integrations.
  • Exposure to fintech or regulated industries with experience handling sensitive data and building compliant systems.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills — comfortable influencing technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.


  • Good to have
  • Experience working in early-stage or high-growth product companies at scale.
  • Background in platform engineering, internal developer platforms, or SRE culture.
  • Hands-on experience with scalable data infrastructure — e.g., Kafka, ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, Redis, or similar.
  • Familiarity with domain-driven design (DDD), event-driven systems, and asynchronous communication patterns.
  • Open-source contributions, tech talks, or writing that demonstrates thought leadership.


  • Why join us?
  • Strategic ownership: Architect systems that power the future of fintech for 250M+ Gen Z users.
  • Org-level impact: Directly influence technical direction and culture across all engineering teams.
  • Modern stack, meaningful scale: Solve high-scale problems with modern infrastructure and freedom to innovate.
  • Mission-driven: Help shape India’s first payments product built specifically for teenagers and young adults.
  • Team & backing: Work alongside top talent from the industry, backed by world-class investors like Elevation Capital, Y Combinator, Peak XV (Sequoia), and more.
  • Collaborating directly with Sambhav (Co-founder) and Chirag (Founding Team – Head, Engineering) to design scalable architecture and technical solutions that support Fam’s product innovation and engineering.


  • Perks That Go Beyond the Paycheck
    • Relocation assistance to make your move seamless.
    • Free office meals (lunch & dinner).
    • Generous leave policy, including birthday leave, period leave, paternity and maternity support, and more.
    • Salary advance and loan policies for any financial help.
    • Quarterly rewards and recognition programs, and a referral program with great incentives.
    • Access the latest gadgets and tools.
    • Comprehensive health insurance for you and your family, mental health support.
    • Tax benefits with options like food coupons, phone allowances, car/device leasing.
    • Retirement perks like PF contribution, leave encashment and gratuity.
    Here’s all the tea on FamApp ☕️
    FamApp focuses on financial inclusion of the next generation by providing UPI & card payments to everyone above 11 years old. Our flagship Spending Account, FamX, seamlessly integrates UPI and card payments, enabling users to manage, save, and learn about their finances effortlessly.

    Trusted by leading investors
    We’re proud to be supported by renowned investors like Elevation Capital, Y-Combinator, Peak XV (formerly Sequoia Capital India), Venture Highway, Global Founder’s Capital, and esteemed angels Kunal Shah and Amrish Rao.
    Join Our Dynamic Team
    At Fam, our people-first approach is reflected in our generous leave policies, flexible work schedules, comprehensive health benefits, and free mental health sessions.
