Staff Software Engineer at Razorpay

About

I'm currently a Staff Software Engineer at Razorpay, working on the Common Platform team that forms the backbone of the company's payment infrastructure. Our mandate is to build the payment infrastructure for the next decade — addressing scale, reliability, and security across the entire payment process. Part of that work includes building harnesses across the SDLC and introducing agents into payments. Prior to Razorpay, I spent six years as a Senior Software Engineer at Atlassian, contributing significantly to the Enterprise Trust ecosystem. There, I helped steer the development of highly scalable and reliable systems. Among my key achievements: building an insights service that empowered administrators with user and product activity insights, owning audit log management and strengthening the broader audit log ecosystem, and contributing to the data classification service as part of the DLP initiative. I also re-architected the domain and user claim workflow that directly affected sign-in, billing, and identity and access management across the platform. Before Atlassian, I was a Software Engineer at Glassdoor on the Jobs I/O team, where I focused on optimizing the Jobs Platform where I improved the efficiency of crawling, indexing, and job search. A highlight was taking end-to-end ownership of the Easy Apply feature, streamlining the application process for users. Preceding Glassdoor, I honed my skills at Adobe on the Real-Time Bidding system, processing over 40 billion requests daily. I wrote efficient code for modules handling bidding, ad serving, and ad validation, and played a pivotal role in enhancing the system's scalability. Working primarily in Java, I contributed significantly to new backend features and services across the RTB subsystems.
