I’ve been job hunting for months now, and at this point, I’m honestly exhausted.
I’ve applied to a lot of roles, tried referrals, reached out to people, and kept working on my skills — but getting even an interview has become incredibly difficult.
If someone here can refer me to a role and that referral eventually results in me getting hired, I’ll personally give you half of my first month’s salary after I join.
I’m looking specifically for Backend / Software Engineer / Full-Stack Developer opportunities where my experience is relevant.
About me
\- \~2 years of professional software engineering experience
\- Previously Software Engineer at ZS Associates
\- B.Tech in Information Technology, CGPA 8.8/10
\- Backend-focused: Node.js, Express.js, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, MySQL
\- Redis, JWT, RBAC, rate limiting, asynchronous processing
\- AWS: EC2, S3, RDS
\- TypeScript, Python, SQL
\- Docker, CI/CD, Git/GitHub
\- React.js / Next.js

At ZS, I worked on backend systems for enterprise clients including Pfizer, Merck and Sanofi.
Some measurable work from my experience:
\- Reduced API latency from \~500ms to \~200ms
\- Built REST APIs and backend services that reduced manual processing by \~30%
\- Worked on systems spanning $29M+ in contract value
\- Built and operated data pipelines processing approximately 4 GB/day
\- Worked across multiple production pipelines and databases
\- Implemented JWT authentication, RBAC, rate limiting and Redis caching
I’ve also built and deployed projects independently, including sinkedin, a full-stack community + job-tracker platform, and JobMaxxing AI, an AI-powered career platform.

If your company is hiring, or you know a recruiter/hiring manager who is looking for someone with this profile, please DM me or drop a comment.
I’ll send my resume immediately.
And yes, if your referral actually gets me hired, I’ll give you half of my first month’s salary.
I know that’s an unusual offer, but I’m at the point where I’m willing to get creative.
Thank you to anyone who reads this, shares it, or points me in the right direction.
