Aro is a Sri Lanka-focused technology platform built to simplify how fitness studios run their businesses and how customers engage with them.
Studios across the country still rely on WhatsApp, spreadsheets, manual payments, and fragmented tools to manage classes, schedules, payments, and clients. Aro exists to fix that. We are building a clean, modern system that helps studios operate professionally while making life easier for their customers.
We already have a working MVP in production. This role is about strengthening what exists, improving reliability, and helping shape the next phase of the product as we scale.
We are a small, focused team. You’ll work directly with the founder and experienced developers, gaining real exposure to how a startup product is built, maintained, and evolved in the real world.
Role Overview
This is an entry-level engineering role designed for someone early in their career who wants hands-on experience working on a live production system.
The core focus will be maintaining and improving an existing codebase. That means fixing bugs, making small but meaningful feature enhancements, and gradually improving code quality across backend and frontend systems.
You won’t be thrown into the deep end alone. You’ll receive guidance, code reviews, and architectural support from senior developers, while still owning day-to-day development tasks and learning how real products are maintained over time.
You will be working on software that real studios and customers use.

- Maintaining and improving an existing production codebase
- Fixing bugs and resolving real-world issues reported by users
- Implementing small feature enhancements across the platform
- Backend development using C# and .NET services
- Working with PostgreSQL databases and existing data models
- Frontend development using React.js and React Native
- Reviewing existing code and suggesting incremental improvements
- Collaborating closely with the founder and development team
- Learning the system end-to-end and improving stability over time
Required Skills (Junior Level)
- Basic understanding of software development fundamentals

- Willingness to learn across the full stack
What Will Help You Succeed in This Role
You don’t need to tick every box. This role is designed for someone early in their career who is motivated to learn and grow.
What matters most is curiosity, ownership, and a willingness to work across the stack. You should be comfortable picking up unfamiliar parts of the system, investigating issues, and asking questions when needed.
You’ll gain hands on experience developing using cloud platforms like AWS, React Native, REST APIs.
What matters most is your attitude towards learning, problem-solving, and improving the product over time.
Why Join Aro
This role gives you hands-on experience working on a real product used by real businesses and customers.
You’ll work closely with the founder and experienced developers, receive regular guidance and code reviews, and gain exposure to full-stack development and cloud infrastructure.
As Aro grows, there will be opportunities to take on more responsibility and expand your role alongside the product.
- We offer competitive entry-level compensation based on experience, along with a collaborative, low-ego environment where learning and initiative are genuinely encouraged.
