Akshat Jain — Backend Engineer

💻 Software Engineer 2 | Backend | Scalable Systems | Problem Solver I’m a Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience designing and building scalable backend systems. Currently, I work at Angel One as an SDE-2 Backend Engineer, where I contribute to high-scale payments systems, ensuring reliability, performance, and scalability. Previously, I worked at Tekion as part of the platform team, where I was responsible for designing and developing backend systems that power large-scale applications. I began my journey at HashedIn, where I worked as both a backend and frontend developer—contributing to backend services while also building a project using Angular on the frontend. This gave me a strong end-to-end perspective on product development. What I Bring: * Backend Development Expertise: Java, Spring Boot, Go, Redis, Kafka, MongoDB, DynamoDB, AWS * Frontend Experience: Angular, React — exposure to building user-facing applications alongside backend systems * Problem Solving: Solved 330+ LeetCode and 150+ GFG problems, with a focus on DSA, Graphs & Dynamic Programming * System Design: Skilled in HLD & LLD, with experience in payments architecture and distributed systems * Engineering Mindset: Passion for writing clean, testable, and efficient code, and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams Beyond Work: Coding isn’t just a profession for me—it’s a passion. I started coding in my first year of college, and since then, problem-solving and building systems have become second nature. I strive to improve every day, both as an engineer and as a person, staying curious, disciplined, and resilient. Outside of work, I’m passionate about badminton, guitar, fitness, and content creation. These pursuits keep me energetic, creative, and disciplined—the same qualities I bring to my work as an engineer. 📬 Always open to connecting and discussing technology, problem-solving, or backend engineering!
