Full Stack Developer

We’re looking for builders who’d rather architect a solution than wait to be handed a spec - freshers and experienced developers who treat a startup environment as a feature, not a risk.

Responsibilities

• Build across the full stack - from database and API design to polished, production front-ends.
• Work fluently across modern JavaScript/TypeScript tooling: the MERN stack, Node, Bun, Deno, React, Next.js, NestJS.
• Take ambiguous problems, think like an architect, and ship independently rather than waiting for a perfect spec.
• Move between roles as needed - this is a startup, and not my job isn t in the vocabulary.

Requirements

• Strong command of JavaScript/TypeScript and at least one modern full-stack framework combination.
• A genuine tinkering instinct - you build things for fun, not just for a paycheck.
• Comfort with ambiguity and the flexibility to wear multiple hats across a small, fast-moving team.
• For tier-1 engineering graduates especially: the depth to go beyond tutorials and actually reason about systems.

Bonus Points:

Exposure to advertising, gaming, or real-time systems; open-source contributions or personal projects worth showing off.

For all positions: we re looking for people who learn quickly, adapt to new and emerging technologies, and want to help build the future of advertising technology. This is an office-based role in South Delhi - we value genuine enthusiasm for working from office, tinkering with LLMs, AI, programmatic, ad insertion, and even gaming, inside a startup-style, operationally flexible environment. Hard work and a real focus on building a long-term career in ad-tech software development matter more to us than a polished r sum.

Early-Career Program

Programmatic ad-tech is an exceptionally niche industry, and very few schools or workplaces truly expose people to its technical, operational, or business realities - especially combined with emerging interactive and immersive advertising experiences. Because of this, we understand that strong candidates may come from lateral career shifts or seemingly unrelated backgrounds. While we review every application for relevant experience and education, r sum s alone rarely reveal curiosity, systems thinking, adaptability, or genuine interest in the industry.

Established players in this space rarely let experienced talent circulate freely, and we recognize the challenge of building in such a rare ecosystem while bootstrapping. We encourage applicants to research the industry before applying, avoid applying blindly, and tell us why this space excites you - especially if you re willing to pursue an early-career journey of learning, exploration, and growth while transitioning from another field.

Application Requirements

• A completed application form, including your resume.
• Essay 1 - Statement of Purpose: why Blowtrumpet is for you, why you want to be part of ad-tech, and how ad-tech differs from other industries (e.g. ed-tech) in ways that interest you.
• Essay 2 - Your Workflow in the Emerging Technologies Age: your view on AI and where it s heading, how you re incorporating AI into your workflow today, and real examples of difficulties you ve faced and how you resolved them.
• Essay 3 - Gamification: what gamification means to you, a real-life example, what the gamification loop looks like, and how you d apply it to create an engaging experience for friends, family, or coworkers.
