Work on software people use every day

A small team in Kolkata, building the system several hundred institutions run their whole year on. Nothing you ship here disappears into a backlog.

Life at Lamda

Small team, real users, no layers

We are a small company, and that shapes the job more than anything we could put in a values statement. There is no layer between you and the decision — if a module needs rethinking, you are in the conversation about it rather than receiving the outcome.

The work is unusually concrete. Several hundred institutions run their admissions, examinations and fee collection on what we build, so you find out quickly whether something works. A teacher who cannot mark attendance in three taps will tell us, and that feedback reaches whoever wrote the screen, not a product committee.

You will be surrounded by people who have been doing this a long time — most of our support and development staff have been here for years — and you will be expected to own things end to end sooner than you would at a larger company. Some people find that the best part of the job; it is worth knowing which kind you are before applying.

About the role

You would work on School On Web and College On Web — the ERP that several hundred institutions use as their system of record. That means real users, real data and consequences when something breaks: a bug in the fees module is somebody’s receipt. In a team this size you will see a feature through from the conversation with the institution to the release, rather than picking up tickets from a queue.

What you would do

  • Build and maintain modules across the ERP — admissions, examinations, fees, accounts, attendance
  • Write SQL that stays fast as an institution’s data grows over years, not weeks
  • Build the APIs the mobile app and third-party school websites consume
  • Take a requirement from an institution and turn it into something that works for the other institutions too
  • Work with QA on test cases before release, and help diagnose what the error reports are telling us

What we are looking for

  • 2–6 years writing PHP in production
  • Hands-on with Laravel or Symfony — either is fine, we use both
  • Solid MySQL: schema design, indexes, and reading a slow query rather than guessing
  • Object-oriented design and comfort with common patterns, without turning everything into one
  • Git, and enough front-end (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to finish your own work
  • MCA, B.Tech or equivalent — and if you can do the work, we are not precious about the degree

Nice to have: REST API design, AWS, experience with payment or SMS gateway integration, or having worked on software used by non-technical people every day.
