About this role
Location: Nehru Place, Delhi NCR
Work mode: Full-time, in-office only
Experience: 1–4 years
Industry: Fintech / Consumer Technology
About Us
We are an early-stage stealth fintech startup building a new consumer financial technology platform for India.
We are currently developing our first product and are deliberately keeping the product details private until launch.
Our ambition is to build a large, technology-led financial-services company, combining consumer technology, financial intelligence, data and AI.
We're looking for an exceptional early engineer who wants to help build it from the ground up.
The Role
We're hiring a Founding Product Engineer who will work directly with the founder and take significant ownership of the first production version of the platform.
This is not a conventional engineering role where you'll simply receive tickets.
You'll work across:
Product → Architecture → Engineering → AI → Data → Deployment
You'll help turn an extensively designed product concept into a polished, secure and scalable consumer application.
What You'll Work On
- Building a high-quality consumer fintech application
- Complex financial-data processing
- AI-powered consumer experiences
- Personalization and recommendation systems
- Financial calculations and decision systems
- Third-party API integrations
- Secure user-data infrastructure
- Mobile-first product experiences
- Scalable backend systems
- Analytics and experimentation
- Production security, reliability and monitoring
Who We're Looking For
Ideally 1–4 years of hands-on engineering experience, with a strong academic background from a rigorous institution such as IIT, BITS, IIIT, NIT, DTU, NSUT or a similarly strong university in India or internationally.
Exceptional demonstrated engineering ability can outweigh pedigree.
Strong experience across several of:
Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript
Backend: Node.js/TypeScript or equivalent, APIs, databases, authentication
Data: PostgreSQL/SQL, data modelling and processing
AI: LLM APIs, structured outputs, AI workflows and production AI systems
Infrastructure: Cloud, CI/CD, testing, monitoring and deployment
Fintech experience is valuable but not mandatory.
The Kind of Person We Want
We're looking for someone who:
- Builds fast without building carelessly
- Has strong product taste
- Thinks independently
- Enjoys solving ambiguous problems
- Uses modern AI development tools aggressively
- Wants ownership rather than tickets
- Wants to help build the engineering culture from day one
Why Join
You'll be joining before the engineering organization exists.
That means you'll have meaningful influence over the architecture, technology stack, product, AI systems, engineering culture and eventually the engineering team itself.
If you're looking for a comfortable role inside an established organization, this probably isn't it.
Compensation
- Competitive fixed compensation + meaningful early-stage upside for an exceptional candidate.
