Senior Backend Software Engineer

About Truecaller

Remember the days when the phone rang and you didn’t know who it was? If it was the company you always dreamt working for? A call from a hospital trying to tell you someone close to you got sick? Or just that stubborn sales guy.

Our mission is to make it possible for you to know who’s trying to contact you, and also tell you when not to pick up. We want to remove all uncertainty, making your communication safe and efficient by separating the meaningful stuff from the noise and build trust, no matter if it’s in the beginning of a call, in the middle of a transaction or at the end of a signature. We are building a platform which empowers our users to take control of their own digital identity and making their communication more safe and efficient.

Today we see a new world. Something bigger than just knowing phone numbers. Technology making life easier is great, but infinite connectivity is creating infinite complexity, putting up new forms of trust barriers. And mutual trust is the very foundation for friendship, business relationships or for just being a good neighbor.

We are committed to building that trust everywhere by making communication safe and efficient. No matter if it’s in the beginning of a call, in the middle of a transaction or at the end of a signature.
