Dipanjan J. — Software Engineer
As a backend specialist with a strong foundation in app development, I’ve spent the last few years building and scaling products from the ground up. Currently, I lead engineering efforts at PhonePe, driving architecture and execution for high-scale systems. Previously, I was a founding engineer at Unacademy, Apna, and Smallcase—where I had the unique opportunity to shape products from 0 to 1, set up core systems, and scale engineering teams and culture. I thrive in early-stage environments, love solving complex backend challenges, and take pride in writing clean, maintainable code that powers seamless user experiences. My core strengths lie in designing scalable backend systems, building mobile-first products, and leading cross-functional teams through fast-paced growth phases. I’m passionate about working on impactful products, mentoring engineers, and continuously learning from the builders around me.
