Founding Engineer

UPTO ₹10 LAKH IN BONUSES

About the Role

You own the architecture of the multi-tenant SaaS platform serving multiple verticals AND

the AI agent layer (orchestration, tool execution, HITL approval architecture) AND the

media-engine infrastructure. You report to the Operations Manager. You lead a team of 3

junior full-stack developers and partner with the existing senior engineering talent on the

team.

What You'll Do

• Set the architecture for the multi-tenant SaaS platform (tenant isolation as a security

boundary, not a filter)

• Design the AI agent layer: orchestration, tool calling, context management, evaluation,

HITL approval

• Design the media-engine infrastructure: multi-agent pipelines, prompt versioning,

automation workflows

• Ship code yourself 30-40% of the time (you set the bar by shipping, not by reviewing)

• Run code review for 100% of the junior dev PRs

• Hire, mentor, and develop the junior full-stack developers

• Set the engineering bar: AI-native coding (Cursor / Claude Code / Copilot), shipping

cadence, code review standards

• Hold the production reliability bar: CI/CD, deploy reliability, platform uptime

What We're Looking For (Must-Have)

• 5-6+ years of architecture or solutioning experience owning the technical direction of a product & 7-10 years of overall experience

• Demonstrated depth in shipping production-grade systems

• Has shipped AI agent systems to production and knows where they fail (orchestration,

tool calling, context management, evaluation)

• Multi-tenant SaaS expertise: tenant isolation as a security boundary

• AI-native coding: uses Cursor / Claude Code / Copilot daily

• Cloud infrastructure at production scale (AWS: containers, managed databases, cost

control)

• Has led engineers and made them better

• Ships first, refactors on the way

What We're Looking For (Preferred)

• Compliance-constrained environments (HIPAA, PCI) and BYOC / on-prem deployment

• LLM evaluation and observability

• Early-stage startup experience (first engineering hire or founding engineer)

• Productive in Node.js, Fastify, PostgreSQL, Prisma in week one (or transferable

expertise in Python, Go, or Java)

Who Excels in This Role

• Takes ownership — treats the role as their own operation; ships the work end-to-end

• Proactive — sees the next move before being asked; ships the fix and reports

• Domain expert — has real, hands-on depth in the discipline this role covers

• Out-of-the-box thinker — when the obvious move stops working, finds the non-obvious

one quickly

• Performs under stress — triages and ships in real-time when things break

What Success Looks Like

The team ships production code daily with high quality. The architecture scales to the next

10x without a rewrite. Junior developers ramp to owning features independently within 4-6

months. The Operations Manager trusts your architectural decisions enough to step back

from day-to-day.
