Soumyadeep Ghosh — Senior Software Engineer

Senior Backend Engineer specializing in distributed systems, high-scale platforms, and revenue-critical backend architecture. I design and build systems where data correctness, low latency, and scalability directly impact business outcomes. At CRED, I own the Pricing Engine, a high-throughput, rule-based system powering offer discovery, fee computation, and pricing decisioning across checkout flows. Built as a config-driven rule engine, it enables rapid experimentation while ensuring correctness, auditability, and performance at scale (~20K RPS). My work directly impacts monetization and pricing accuracy across millions of transactions. Previously at Zepto, I built and owned the Catalogue Service, a foundational system managing product data across multiple downstream systems. I also led critical initiatives in the Warehouse Management System, including Pharma and Compliance workflows, and re-architected warehouse hopping logic. By introducing parallel processing and optimizing execution flows, I significantly improved latency, throughput, and system efficiency in high-volume environments. I have hands-on experience designing event-driven architectures and scalable backend systems using Go, Java, Kafka, gRPC, and Temporal. My work includes workflow orchestration, database optimization (Postgres, MongoDB), and building resilient systems that handle millions of daily operations. Beyond development, I focus on system reliability, production debugging, and mentoring engineers through code reviews and system design discussions. Core Expertise: • Backend Engineering (Go, Java, Python) • Distributed Systems & Microservices Architecture • Event-Driven Systems (Kafka, gRPC) • Workflow Orchestration (Temporal) • Rule Engines & Decision Systems • Database Design & Optimization (Postgres, MongoDB, Redis) • High-Scale Systems (Million+ transactions/day) • Cloud & Infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes basics) I’m motivated by solving hard engineering problems, owning systems end-to-end, and building platforms that scale with both business complexity and growth. Open to Senior Engineer / Founding Engineer roles in backend, infrastructure, or AI-driven systems where I can drive architecture, scalability, and impact.

I currently own and drive the Pricing Engine at CRED end-to-end as the single-threaded owner, responsible for its architecture, scalability, and production reliability.
The pricing engine is a config-driven, rule-based system that computes offers, promotions, fees, and taxes for every checkout on CRED. It operates as a stateless, high-throughput service (~20K RPS), serving as the central decisioning layer where all pricing flows converge.
Given its critical role, the system directly impacts conversion, user experience, and revenue realization.
Key contributions:
Architected and evolved a rule-based pricing framework enabling dynamic configuration of offers and pricing constructs without code changes, significantly improving experimentation velocity
Owned a stateless, horizontally scalable architecture capable of handling ~20K RPS with low-latency real-time computations
Reverse-engineered and documented previously fragmented flows, creating a single source of truth for pricing logic across offers, fees, and tax handling
Improved system reliability under high load by optimizing DB queries (CTEs, indexing) and mitigating timeout issues during peak events (e.g., cron spikes)
Built structured logging and debugging workflows, drastically reducing issue resolution time across teams
Acted as the cross-functional bridge between Checkout, Payments, and downstream systems to ensure pricing correctness and consistency
Enabled team scalability via KT sessions, QA debugging guides, and documentation, removing dependency bottlenecks
Practiced AI-augmented development (leveraging tools like Claude) to accelerate code comprehension, implementation, and debugging, significantly improving development velocity while maintaining high code quality
Today, the pricing engine is a highly reliable, scalable, and extensible platform, powering every pricing decision at CRED while enabling rapid iteration on business use-cases.

Apr 2023 – Oct 2024 · 1 yr 6 mos

Developed Outbound Microservice for Zepto Internal WMS. Used Temporal as a state management system for the Order Flow, GRPC, and Kafka for inter-microservice communication and Postgres for the persistence layer.
Designed an Assignment service using rule engine which helps to assign task to associates based on trend of task done by them and also the pendency of task. Used Gorm Rules for online assignment logic, mongodb as persistence layer and grpc for inter service communication.

Software Engineer I

Jun 2022 – Mar 2023 · 9 mos

Developed the Catalog Management System of Zepto using Go and Mongo as the persistence layer, utilizing GRPC for microservice-to-microservice connection. The system supports the creation of new collections with data sanity checks, including custom foreign key and primary checks built into the application layer, allowing the service to leverage dynamic schema while maintaining data constraints. This service feeds both the Zepto customer app as well as all internal services with catalog information.
Developed Mother Warehouse Management service using Spring boot and Postgres as persistence layer, utilizing various design patterns, the advanced functionality of Hibernate ORM and distributed locking with Redis, and building event-driven order creation services with Kafka, as well as implementing Spring AOP for simplifying critical features and designing interceptors for logging transactions, and setting up infrastructure and monitoring using AWS cloud watch and Newrelic.
