About MastersIndia
MastersIndia is a leading technology company building compliance-focused SaaS products that simplify complex business processes like GST, e-invoicing, and e-way bills. We work at scale, handle mission-critical systems, and believe in strong engineering ownership.

Define API contracts and build high-performance RESTful services
Guide frontend architecture, data flow, and performance patterns
