Looking for an opportunity where you can build products from the ground up, work closely with founders and product teams, and take real ownership of engineering projects? ๐งโ๐ป
Peeko is hiring a Software Engineer in Bangalore for its early engineering team. The role is aimed at developers with 1โ3 years of experience who have backend development experience and are willing to contribute to the frontend using React and TypeScript.
Unlike highly structured enterprise roles, this opportunity is designed for engineers who enjoy solving ambiguous problems, making technology trade-offs and shipping products quickly. ๐

๐ข About Peeko
Peeko is a Bengaluru-based quick-commerce startup focused specifically on babycare products. The company is building a vertical commerce experience designed to help parents get essential baby products quickly, with its proposition centered around rapid delivery.
Peeko was founded in 2025 by IIT alumni Chetan Sharma, Vivek Khetan and Abhijit Gairola. The startup raised approximately $3.2 million in seed funding led by Stellaris Venture Partners in August 2025, with participation from several angel investors.
The company has positioned itself around solving common problems faced by parents, including finding reliable baby products, catalogue overload and slow fulfillment. Its model combines curated products with quick delivery and technology-driven recommendations.
Peeko’s consumer application is also publicly available, with the company continuing to improve its shopping experience and product capabilities.
๐ Why This Role Is Great for 1โ3 Years of Experience
For an engineer early in their career, one of the biggest advantages here is breadth of ownership.
Instead of being restricted to one small component, the JD specifically mentions involvement across:
โ
Architecture
โ
Design
โ
Implementation
โ
Testing
โ
Deployment
โ
Product development
โ
New services
โ
Cross-functional collaboration
That can accelerate your learning significantly.
You’ll also have the opportunity to understand how a consumer product works from the engineering sideโfrom backend APIs and databases to frontend experiences and product requirements.
The startup environment is particularly suitable for developers who want to learn how engineering decisions affect real customers and business outcomes.
๐ป What Will You Work On?
The role is primarily focused on backend development, but Peeko is looking for someone willing to work with React and TypeScript as well.
Your responsibilities may include:
๐น Building backend services and APIs
๐น Designing and implementing new features
๐น Testing and releasing production code
๐น Working on scalable application architecture
๐น Collaborating with product and engineering teams
๐น Contributing to React/TypeScript workflows
๐น Debugging production issues
๐น Evaluating technology trade-offs
๐น Taking features from idea โ execution
๐ฐ Expected Salary Range
Peeko has not publicly disclosed the salary range for this specific Software Engineer position.
For a Bangalore startup hiring developers with approximately 1โ3 years of experience, a reasonable market estimate could be around โน8โ18 LPA, depending on backend expertise, interview performance, previous compensation and the candidate’s ability to take ownership.
โ ๏ธ This is a market estimate, not an official Peeko salary range. Compensation may also include startup-specific benefits or equity depending on the offer structure.
๐งโ๐ผ Expected Interview Rounds
Peeko has not publicly confirmed the exact interview process for this position, so candidates should consider the following a likely preparation structure rather than a guaranteed process.
1๏ธโฃ Recruiter / Initial Screening
Expect discussion around experience, backend technologies, Bangalore availability and your interest in joining an early-stage startup.
2๏ธโฃ Coding & DSA Round
Prepare arrays, strings, hash maps, recursion, sorting, searching, trees and basic algorithmic problem-solving.
3๏ธโฃ Backend Technical Round
Expect questions around APIs, databases, authentication, scalability, caching, asynchronous processing and backend architecture.
4๏ธโฃ Full-Stack / Practical Round
Because React and TypeScript are mentioned, be prepared to discuss frontend integration and potentially solve a practical engineering problem.
5๏ธโฃ Founder / Hiring Manager Round
Given Peeko’s early-stage environment, expect discussion around ownership, ambiguity, decision-making, learning ability and product thinking.
๐ฅ Preparation Tips
Don’t prepare only for LeetCode.
Build a small quick-commerce backend project before interviewing.
For example, design an API for:
Product โ Inventory โ Cart โ Order โ Payment โ Delivery
Then think about what happens when:
โ Two customers order the last available product simultaneously?
โ Inventory becomes stale?
โ Payment succeeds but order creation fails?
โ Delivery is delayed?
โ A service goes down during checkout?
๐ ๏ธ Skills Required
Backend
REST APIs | Microservices | Databases | Authentication | Scalability | Error Handling | API Design
Frontend
React | TypeScript | JavaScript | State Management | Responsive UI | API Integration
Engineering
Data Structures & Algorithms | OOP | Git | Testing | Debugging | System Design
Product Engineering
Ownership | Problem Solving | Technical Trade-offs | Agile Development | Product Thinking
Modern Development
AI-assisted Development | AI Coding Tools | Code Review | Automation | Observability
๐ Resume Tips for This Role
Your resume should emphasize ownership and shipped products, not just technologies.
Instead of:
โ “Worked on backend APIs.”
Use:
โ “Designed and developed REST APIs for a consumer-facing application, handling authentication, business logic and database operations.”
Include measurable outcomes wherever possible:
๐ API response-time improvement
๐ Number of users/requests supported
๐ Feature delivery timelines
๐ Production issues resolved
๐ Performance improvements
๐ Automation or testing coverage
Also highlight React/TypeScript exposure, even if backend remains your primary strength.
A strong project section can be especially valuable for candidates with 1โ3 years of experience.
