Razorpay Principal Engineer II (India) and people might be wondering “how much does it pay?”
A senior of mine got an offer for principal engineer 1, So estimating from there and from what I’ve seen in the market (varies by team, location, stock refresh):
1. Base: ₹85L to ₹1.2Cr
2. Bonus: 10 to 20% (₹8L to ₹24L)
3. ESOPs: ₹40L to ₹1.5Cr vesting over 4 years (sometimes more if you’re a rare fit)
4. Typical all-in TC: ~₹1.3Cr to ₹2.5Cr
Coming to the interview process, it's not “DSA grind only”. It’s heavy on judgment.
1. Recruiter screen (30 min)
- scope, current TC, notice period, role fit
2. Tech screen (60 min)
- 1 medium-hard problem
- plus deep dive on how you think: tradeoffs, edge cases, complexity
3. 2 to 3 technical rounds (60 min each)
1. Coding: correctness + readability + tests
2. System design: payments-flavored problems (idempotency, retries, timeouts, reconciliation, queues)
3. Debugging and fundamentals: SQL, concurrency, incident style questions
4. Bar raiser round (sometimes)
- “principal” expectations: leading across teams, simplifying architecture, killing bad ideas politely
5. Hiring manager + culture round
- past impact, conflict stories, mentorship, how you drive execution
If you’re aiming for this kind of level/role: go prepare 2 production stories with numbers (p95, error rate, cost), and be able to explain failure modes like you’ve been paged for them!

Joined Razorpay as Principal Engineer II :) From being a long-time customer to now building parts of the system - it's a full circle. Fintech is a new territory for me - time to get under the hood of how money actually moves. New domain, same guarantees - availability, correctness, performance - just with real money on the line.

New joinee Indian PO: do we not log our hours on board?
Chad European senior architect with 10+ yoe in company: ohhh nooo we don't do that here.
PO: ok, let's start logging hours from now.
SA: should I also log the hours when I am taking a shit thinking about the problem?
PO: sorry what?
SA: should I also log the hours thinking about the problem while I am jogging?
PO: *yaps* ... so let's start the practice of logging our hours from now.
SA: It's a useless metric. *explains gracefully* completely pointless metric.
PO: It's useful for management to track how many hours were spent on a story point *yaps more*
SA: I don’t (fucking) care.
Other team members (all senior architects with 15-25 yoe btw) eventually hop in and proceed to completely destroy our PO. Blud really tried to 1v10 as a fresher against insanely cracked engineers 🙂

@IAmManware looks like this post ended up reaching racists.
I'm referring to witch (service based) companies where such terms are used and have hours based logging system also worst management
not every Indian PO like this

@IAmManware Wait , what does a PO have to do with team management ! This looks inconsistent. a PO is responsible to represent the customer interest in the team not manage the team .

@YorkieBuilds Middle management will be the first to get laid off in our company at least

@IAmManware I once worked in a company where they did "scrum meetings" and "scrum pokers" plus measuring tickets by points. Guess what, every fucking sprint there was some chunks of work that they missed. It's a stupid way of estimating

@smishy18 @IAmManware Because they're used to absolute fucking slavery where every move between 9 and 5 is scrutinized and micromanaged. That kind of work is very uncommon in Europe.
