VuNet is a pioneer in Business Journey Observability, leveraging Big Data and Machine Learning to transform digital experiences across the financial services. Our deep-tech platform provides end-to-end visibility into customer journeys — empowering proactive issue resolution, operational resilience, and superior user satisfaction.
If you’ve ever used instant payment systems like UPI, chances are you’ve already experienced the power of our platform — we monitor over 28 billion digital transactions monthly (that’s equal to watching 3 years of tik-tok videos), touching 300 million users with leading banks and financial institutions.
VuNet is Series B funded, part of NASSCOM DeepTech Club, awarded NASSCOM’s AI Gamechanger, recognized in Forbes DGEMS 200 and by several global analysts including Gartner, Omdia.
We’re building a new category of observability purpose-built for complex digital journeys — across payments, lending, core banking and more — already powering some of the largest banks in India and MEA.
We are looking for a Distributed Systems Architect to own the core backend architecture of our enterprise observability platform. This role is responsible for the foundational systems that power data ingestion, API services, microservices orchestration, user workflows, and platform security. The ideal candidate has built and shipped complex distributed products at scale and can drive architectural decisions across multiple engineering teams.
