About LH2 AI LabsLH2 AI Labs is an applied research lab solving data platform and curation challenges for foundation model development. We serve every frontier AI lab with the mission of delivering the best data to power the best models.
Our customers are the ones building the foundation models themselves and our work sits directly in the loop of how those systems improve. This is a rare opportunity to join a company at a defining moment in AI.
About the role:
This is a full-time, hands-on role where you will own the core infrastructure and systems that enable us to discover customers' data landscape, handle sensitive data like names, address securely and to clean and catalog them into training-ready datasets.
That path covers connectors and on-prem agentic discovery components, secrets and PII scrubbing, scale and cost efficient ingestion and clearance for use in model training. You lead a small team of 3-4 engineers and raise the quality bar in your pod.
What you'll own
- Connectors and extraction - You'll build connectors for common SaaS and databases (Google Workspace, Slack, Postgres/MySQL, Jira, MongoDB) and for specific tools such as Razorpay, GreytHR, Keka, Zoho and LeadSquared. The rule is to build only where no good open-source connector or clean export exists.
- On-prem scanning - You'll build a CLI or agent that runs at the data owner's end to sample and estimate the value of their data without shipping all of it to us.
- Clearance pipeline - Secrets detection across full git history, fail-closed. PII redaction for code and conversational data, including Indian identifiers (PAN, Aadhaar, GSTIN, IFSC, UPI). Measurable recall and precision.
- Lineage - Every output record must trace back to its raw source, and every lot must be revocable.
- Delivery - Packaging, sampling for buyers, and supporting the supply and BD teams on data questions.
You have
- 8+ years in backend or data engineering, with at least 2 years leading up to 4 or more engineers.
- You've built ingestion or ETL pipelines that run in production.
- Hands-on work with sensitive data such as PII, financial or health data, including redaction, masking or access controls.
- The judgment to decide what to build and what to adopt.
Nice to have
- Experience with Presidio, gitleaks/TruffleHog, dlt or Airbyte.
- Knowledge of DPDP, GDPR, HIPAA or SOC 2.
- You've shipped software that runs in customers' environments.
This is not a pure people-management role. You'll write code, review everything, and personally own the hardest problems in the pod.
Engineering Manager – Backend
Location: Flexible / Hybrid (Mon–Fri)
Website: https://www.solarsquare.in
About the Role
SolarSquare is building the infrastructure for India's clean energy transition. We're looking for an Engineering Manager who doesn't just run a team — someone who builds one from the ground up, makes consequential technical bets, and treats engineering outcomes as business outcomes.
You'll own the technical strategy and delivery for our full-stack platform, lead a growing team of SDE1–SDE3 engineers, and work directly with product, design, and business to shape what we build and how fast we build it. This is a role for someone who has operated in resource-constrained environments, shipped systems that held up under pressure, and left every team they've led measurably better than they found it.
If you've only ever executed someone else's roadmap, this isn't the right fit. If you've ever built something from scratch and felt personally responsible for whether it worked.
What You'll Own
Team & Culture
- Build, hire, and develop a high-performing full-stack engineering team including setting the bar for what "high-performing" means at SolarSquare
- Create genuine career growth paths for engineers.
- Maintain team health, retention, and motivation through periods of rapid change and ambiguity
Technical Strategy
- Define and drive the architectural roadmap
- Make and own technical bets: when to invest in platform, when to ship fast, when to pay down debt
- Establish observability, reliability, and security standards before they become production fires
Delivery
- Translate business goals into engineering priorities and push back when the translation is wrong
- Set clear goals, metrics, and delivery expectations; hold yourself and the team accountable to them
- Manage trade-offs between short-term product velocity and long-term engineering health
Cross-Functional Influence
- Partner with Product, Design, and Business stakeholders and influence decisions upstream.
- Communicate technical risk, cost, and complexity clearly to non-technical leadership
What We're Looking For
- 7–10 years of engineering experience, with at least 3 years leading teams.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems design: idempotency, retries, DLQs, circuit breakers, eventual consistency, you've had to debug these in production.
- Proven experience with event-driven architecture and Kafka including schema design, consumer group management, and failure recovery patterns.
- Comfort with relational (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis, ) databases including query optimisation and schema design decisions at scale.
- You've designed or operated systems handling meaningful traffic ideally 10K+ RPS. significant daily transaction volumes, or consumer-scale user bases (1M+ users)
- You understand what 99.99% uptime actually costs to maintain and you've made the infrastructure and on-call decisions to back it.
- You've written or enforced SLOs, SLAs, and incident management processes.
- You've done a postmortem that changed something real about how the team operates.
- Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure beyond just deploying services, cost optimisation, right-sizing, architecture decisions that meaningfully reduced spend
- Working knowledge of containerisation (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) enough to unblock your team.
- CI/CD pipeline ownership you've built or significantly improved a pipeline.
- Experience with observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK, or equivalent and more importantly, a philosophy about what to instrument and why
- You've made the call between monolith and microservices and you can defend it with context.
- You've managed technical debt consciously: triaged it, prioritised it, and made the case to stakeholders for when to pay it down
- You've navigated a hard conversation with a product or business stakeholder and changed the outcome
- Your engineers grow under you. You can point to people you've promoted, coached, or unblocked
- You know how to build alignment across functions where incentives don't naturally align
- You have clear examples of decisions you made under ambiguity and you can articulate the trade-offs you weighed
- You've identified a systemic problem and fixed it without being asked
- You've built or rebuilt something that wasn't working a team, a process, a system

- Modernize and improve complex enterprise systems while balancing reliability, maintainability, scalability, and delivery speed.
- Set and uphold engineering quality standards through hands-on technical leadership, sound technical judgment, and ownership of long-term technical decisions.
Qualifications
- Direct experience with Python as a primary programming language, backend frameworks, and microservices architectures.
- Expertise in REST and gRPC, with proficiency in Node.js and JavaScript.
- Proficiency in GCP, along with experience using at least one additional cloud platform such as AWS or Azure.

- Hands-on experience building and operating LLM-powered systems in production, including evaluation, validation, regression testing, tracing, and failure analysis.
- Working knowledge of LangSmith or comparable LLM observability and evaluation tools; familiarity with OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar model providers is a plus.
- Ability to contribute across the full stack, with a strong understanding of frontend architecture and the ability to debug, design, and ship across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and AI systems.
- Understanding of large-scale enterprise software systems, including architecture, integration, deployment, modernization, and long-term maintainability.
- Proven track record of operating at Staff+, Principal Engineer, or equivalent level, independently driving complex technical initiatives and delivering high-impact outcomes with minimal supervision.
