About Cobalt Streamworks
Cobalt Streamworks is a dating app where LGBTQ South Asians find love. Built by Queer Desis in New York for the 100 million queer South Asians around the globe who deserve a space of their own. Our mission: help 1 million Queer Desis find love by the end of 2026. We’re creating a safer, more intentional, and community-driven dating experience — one that celebrates identity, culture, and connection.
The Role
We’re looking for a Founding Full-Stack Engineer who thrives in 0→1 environments. You’ll take ownership of architecture, design, and execution across backend, web, and mobile (iOS/Android) — helping shape both the product and the culture of the company.
You’ll be joining at the earliest stage — working directly with the founding team on everything from feature development to infrastructure decisions and product strategy.
Responsibilities
– Architect and build scalable backend systems (APIs, data models, authentication, messaging, matching).
– Lead development across web and mobile clients (React, React Native, Swift/Kotlin).
– Collaborate on product design and iterate quickly on user feedback.
– Set up CI/CD, testing, and monitoring pipelines.
– Help define the tech culture, best practices, and early engineering team standards.
– Contribute to early hiring and mentorship as we grow.
You Might Be a Great Fit If You
– Care deeply about building for LGBTQ and South Asian communities.
– Are motivated by impact and ownership, not just code.
– Thrive in ambiguity and love solving real user problems fast.
– Want to help define the technical and cultural DNA of a mission-driven company.
Interview Process
1. AI Screen – Initial automated technical and culture-fit assessment.
2. Web Challenge – Build a small feature for the web app to demonstrate frontend and full-stack skills.
3. iOS Challenge – Build a small feature for the iOS app to showcase mobile development and design sense.
4. Android Challenge – Build a small feature for the Android app to highlight cross-platform depth.
5. Founder Chat – Meet with the Founder to discuss vision, values, and long-term fit.
What We Offer
– Competitive salary.
– Full-time (40 hours/week) with flexible hours.
– Opportunity to shape a product with global cultural impact.
– Work directly with the founding team building something that truly matters.

Senior Software Engineer
Location: Pune, India (Hybrid)
Job Type: Full-Time
About This Role
As a Senior Software Engineer, you are a full-stack technical owner. You design the solution, write the hard code, mentor junior engineers, and ensure nothing reaches production that you would not be proud to review. You will work on cloud-native healthcare platforms serving major US health plans, and are expected to bring architecture thinking, AI proficiency, and a high ownership mindset to every sprint.
About Us
We are the Solutions-as-a-Service arm who represents a shift from traditional outsourcing models toward outcome-led execution.
We do not sell effort, transactions, or headcount. It delivers measurable business outcomes. Built on more than 130 years of combined healthcare payer expertise, the organization brings together deep domain knowledge, AI-driven platforms, and operational excellence to solve complex challenges across the payer ecosystem.
The group’s flagship company has spent over 17 years building cloud-native platforms that support health plans managing billions in premiums and millions of members. These capabilities are extended and positioned as the Industry OS for AI, enabling intelligent automation of complex workflows at scale. We integrate these strengths into a single execution model. Teams are embedded with clients from day one, applying proven workflows, platform intelligence, and domain expertise to accelerate outcomes without a learning curve.
With headquarters in Chicago and a global delivery center in Pune, and a team of 300+ professionals, we are focused on transforming payer operations across claims, enrollment, billing, provider data management, appeals and grievances, and independent dispute resolution.
What You’ll Do
•Own end-to-end design and delivery of full-stack features across .NET Core backend and React frontend

•Architect and integrate Azure PaaS services into the platform including AKS, App Services, Function Apps, Service Bus, and Key Vault
•Champion Claude AI and Claude Code across the team - demonstrate AI-assisted code scaffolding, test generation, and review acceleration
•Surface technical risks early; propose and own mitigation paths
Tech Stack
•App: .NET Core / C#, ASP.NET Core Web API, Entity Framework Core

•.NET Core (C#) - deep, production-grade experience with complex backend systems
•ASP.NET Core Web API - design, versioning, authentication, and performance tuning
•React JS - component architecture, state management, and performance optimization
•Python - scripting, automation pipelines, or data processing tasks
•SQL Server and/or PostgreSQL - advanced query design, indexing, execution plans, and schema ownership
•CQRS pattern - practical implementation experience, MediatR preferred
•Design Patterns and SOLID Principles - applied, not just theoretical

•Infrastructure-as-Code exposure with Bicep or Terraform on Azure
•Healthcare payer domain knowledge - claims, enrollment, benefits, or provider data
•Familiarity with Anthropic API or LLM integration patterns in production applications
