Director of Engineering — Flights Platform

AI-First Travel Commerce · High-Scale Distributed Systems · Marketplace Infrastructure


🌏 The Problem Space

A flight search looks trivially simple. It is anything but.


Every query you fire triggers a choreography of distributed systems operating in real-time — integrating with a dozen airline GDS/NDC providers, computing dynamic fares across inventory buckets and fare rules, ranking thousands of itineraries by relevance and business intent, and returning a ranked, priced, bookable result set — all in under 100ms.


→ Millions of search queries per minute

→ <100ms end-to-end SLA with external API dependencies

→ High-value transactions — a bug here means a missed booking, not a failed render

→ Pricing errors erode trust faster than any other failure mode


We are rebuilding the Flights platform as a real-time commerce engine for Bharat — AI-native from day zero, built to power both B2C consumer journeys and high-stakes B2B enterprise corridors.


This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity to build national-scale flight infrastructure from first principles.

🧠 What You Will Own

You will own the full Flights platform — systems, architecture, and the teams that build them.


Core System Domains:

•Search Systems — high-throughput, low-latency query pipelines returning ranked, bookable options

•Pricing & Fare Engine — dynamic pricing logic, fare rules, promotional overlays, and real-time validation

•Booking & Ticketing — transaction-critical flows requiring strict consistency, idempotency, and zero data loss

•Airline Integrations — managing unreliable external GDS/NDC APIs with retries, circuit-breakers, and reconciliation

•Post-Booking Flows — cancellations, modifications, refunds — correctness at the margin is non-negotiable


Platform Scope:

•High-scale APIs serving consumer apps, B2B enterprise clients, and third-party partners

•Event-driven state machines managing booking workflows across async boundaries

•Observability and reliability infrastructure across all mission-critical flows


Team Scope:

•Lead 15–30+ engineers across multiple product and platform teams

•Manage Engineering Managers and Principal/Staff engineers

•Own hiring, org design, and technical direction


⚙️ Core Engineering Challenges

This role is fundamentally about making the right trade-offs under uncertainty — at scale.


Latency vs. Accuracy — when do you serve a cached fare vs. call a live airline API?

Availability vs. Consistency — graceful degradation at booking time vs. strict price validation

Cost vs. Performance — when is an external API call worth it vs. a cache hit?

Scalability vs. Simplicity — the best system is the one your team can reason about under incident


🤖 AI-First Engineering

AI is not an afterthought. It is load-bearing architecture.

•LLM-powered pricing intelligence — dynamic fare prediction and demand signals

•RAG pipelines for fare rules, refund policy, and support automation

•Agentic booking resolution workflows — autonomous exception handling at scale

•MCP-based orchestration layers for multi-provider integration


⚖️ Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Distributed Systems

•Design and evolve sub-100ms distributed query systems serving millions of concurrent searches

•Build fault-tolerant booking pipelines with strong consistency and durability guarantees

•Drive Kafka-based event architectures for booking state management


Reliability & Observability

•Own 99.99%+ availability for booking and pricing systems

•Build deep observability — metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging, SLOs/SLAs

•Lead post-incident reviews and drive systemic reliability improvements


Business Partnership

•Partner with Product, Revenue, and Partnerships to translate commercial goals into architecture

•Influence platform roadmap, supplier strategy, and long-term technical investment


🛠️ Technology Stack

Backend: Java · Kotlin · Go · Python

Architecture: Microservices · Event-Driven (Kafka) · gRPC

Data: Redis · Aerospike · DynamoDB · Elasticsearch

Cloud: AWS (EKS, EC2, S3)

Observability: Prometheus · Grafana · OpenTelemetry


👤 Who You Are

•12–16 years in backend/distributed systems; 5+ Years in an Engineering Leadership role, led teams of 15–50 engineers

•Built and scaled large B2C + B2B platforms — Travel Tech, FinTech, or high-scale Consumer

•Deep expertise in real-time systems, marketplace dynamics, and external API integration

•Tier-I institute background strongly preferred (IIT / IIIT / NIT / IISC / BITS / VIT / SRM — CSE/ISE)


🚀 Why This Matters

Build national-scale infrastructure for 1.4 billion people

Sit at the intersection of AI · distributed systems · marketplace economics

Define the future of travel commerce in India — from architecture to product

Role- Sr Senior Engineer 

Location -Hyderabad 

Shift -Night Shift starts from 8:30 PM IST 


About The Role

As a Senior Engineer on the team, you will own systems end to end across a high-volume, event-driven surface. You'll build the APIs and services behind key initiatives including:


- The driver comms platform — the rules engine, cohorting, and scheduling that reach drivers across SMS, push, and email


 - The onboarding funnel and applicant tracking layer, architected to support Veho's move to an in-house system over time


 - Live selling workflows that turn live offer and market-clearing data into well-timed, well-targeted driver outreach



You'll partner closely with Product, Design, Operations, and Data Science to ship tooling that scales with Veho's growth.


Responsibilities Include:

- Design, build, test, and deploy features across the driver-facing apps (driver mobile app, onboarding and registration surfaces), our GraphQL APIs, and the event-driven services behind them


 - Own a problem end to end: write the design doc your team works from, build it, roll it out behind a feature flag, and stay on it after launch until it is stable


 - Own the driver comms platform — the rules engine, cohorting, and scheduling that decide when to reach a driver over SMS, push, or email, and the delivery services behind it


 - Build the onboarding funnel and applicant tracking layer: registration and set-password flows, consent and eligibility gating, and the integrations that track where every applicant sits in the funnel


 - Build live selling workflows that consume live offer data and market-clearing signals to notify the right driver cohorts only when routes are actually claimable


 - Contribute to architectural decisions and technical design for complex, distributed systems, and architect today's comms and onboarding infrastructure so it supports the eventual in-house replacement of our third-party ATS rather than becoming throwaway work


 - Break a project into milestones your product, design, ops, and data partners can plan against


 - Write correctness-first code in an event-driven system where delivery is at-least-once and no driver may be texted twice about the same route — and where a send must never fire when there is no offer to claim


 - Improve reliability and observability in the services you own, with alerts that fire on real problems and stay quiet otherwise, so an on-call engineer is paged for a broken send pipeline and not for noise


 - Propose the engineering work your team should be doing, including the reliability, data-quality, and compliance work nobody is asking for


 - Use AI-native development workflows and tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and similar) as part of how you ship


 - Mentor the engineers around you, keep the team's code review bar high, and write down what you learn



What You Bring:


- 5–7+ years of experience building, testing, and deploying applications in high-traffic production environments


 - Depth in AWS serverless, including Lambda, a managed GraphQL layer such as AppSync, DynamoDB, EventBridge, and SQS


 - Experience with event-driven systems and the idempotency work that comes with at-least-once delivery — especially in a comms context where duplicate or misfired messages reach real people


 - Strong full-stack experience with TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and React


 - Experience with DynamoDB single-table design


 - Experience integrating with third-party platforms and their webhooks, and keeping the data they produce in sync and trustworthy across services


 - At least one project owned through production rollout, including what broke afterward and who fixed it


 - Experience operating a service in production long enough to own its failure modes


 - Judgment about what a design costs in engineering time, dollars, and vendor commitment


 - A self-starter mindset with the ability to move quickly and ship iteratively, including on migrations, compliance obligations, and the manual steps nobody has automated yet


 - Enthusiasm for working closely with product, design, operations, data science, and support partners


-Tech Stack: AWS, TypeScript, Node.js, React, React Native, GraphQL, DynamoDB, serverless event-driven architecture; 


multi-channel comms (SMS, push, email); Firebase Auth; Statsig for experimentation; Redshift/Databricks-backed data pipelines


Preferred:

 - Experience with applicant tracking / recruiting funnels or other funnel-driven onboarding systems, and the drop-off analysis that improves them


 - Experience with experimentation and analytics infrastructure (Statsig, Fivetran, Redshift, Databricks) to measure and tune what you ship


 - Consent modeling and compliance obligations (e.g., driver terms-and-conditions and messaging consent) that span services

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
