About SmartDocs

SmartDocs is a 16-year-old, profitable, bootstrapped enterprise SaaS company providing procurement and spend management solutions to large enterprises globally. We compete head-to-head with SAP Ariba and Coupa, serving 26 enterprise customers—primarily major US infrastructure organizations whose operations depend on our platform processing millions of dollars in procurement transactions daily.

Our platform processes millions of dollars in procurement transactions for Fortune 500 companies. We're in the midst of an ambitious R&D transformation evolving from our successful bootstrapped roots to implement Silicon Valley-grade engineering operations, processes, and excellence.

This is not a corporate job. This is a builder's role.


People who were associated with US tolling system, spend management platform or Vendor Management system is highly preferable.


Who We're Looking For


The Ideal Background

We're specifically seeking technical leaders with entrepreneurial battle scars—those who've been founding engineers, technical co-founders, or early engineering leaders who built something from scratch. You understand what it takes to ship quality software when every decision matters. You've made tough technical calls with real consequences. You know the difference between perfectionism and pragmatism because you've lived both.


You might be


•       A technical co-founder or founding engineer who took a startup from idea to production

•       An early engineering leader (first 5-10 hires) who architected and scaled a product

•       A tech-savvy entrepreneur who built and shipped a technical product to real customers

•       A CTO or Engineering Director from a bootstrapped, capital-efficient company

•       Someone who worked shoulder-to-shoulder with founders/CEOs on mission-critical applications where system reliability directly impacted business survival



What matters most: You've built something significant with your own hands, made critical technical decisions with constrained resources, and understand the weight of engineering choices when real customers and revenue depend on your platform.



We value entrepreneurial experience—whether your venture achieved unicorn status, profitability, got acquired, or taught you invaluable lessons through a pivot or wind-down. What we care about is that you were in the arena making things happen.

The Technical Must-Haves

This isn't about checking boxes—we need someone who can actually architect, build, and fix things when necessary:


Core Technical Requirements

•       7-15 years of hands-on software engineering experience

•       Someone who have experience with products or projects in US tolling system, Vendor management system or spend Management.

•       Expert-level proficiency in:

• Java and Spring Boot (not just familiarity—you've architected and built production systems)

• MongoDB (you understand document design, indexing, performance optimization)

• React or Angular (you can jump into frontend code when needed)

•       Exposure to Azure (VMs, cloud services, deployments)

•       Experience with mission-critical applications where system failures have serious business consequences

•       3-5+ years leading engineering teams—you've managed managers and scaled teams


The "Founder/Builder" Technical DNA

•       You've written production code recently—not just reviewed it from a distance

•       You understand technical debt as business trade-offs, not engineering failures

•       You've made build-vs-buy decisions with real budget constraints

•       You know how to extract maximum value from lean teams

•       You've shipped features with imperfect information and learned fast

•       You've worked directly with business stakeholders (founders, CEOs, customers) translating technical complexity into business outcomes


The Role: What You'll Actually Do

Engineering Leadership (Not Just Management)

•       Lead 4 engineering managers and 15+ engineers building our Java/Spring Boot/MongoDB/Angular platform

•       Own end-to-end execution: from sprint planning to production deployment to customer success

•       Make real-time technical decisions—architecture reviews, production incident response, technical feasibility assessments

•       Balance feature delivery against technical debt with P&L consciousness (like an owner, not just an employee)

•       Roll up your sleeves when critical issues need senior technical intervention

Building World-Class Operations (Without Corporate Bureaucracy)

•       Implement engineering processes that actually improve velocity (not ones that look good on slides)

•       Establish meaningful metrics—code quality, deployment frequency, incident response times, team velocity

•       Build CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment automation from scratch or improve existing ones

•       Create engineering standards that balance enterprise requirements with startup agility

•       Scale processes from 15 to 50+ engineers without losing execution speed or creating red tape

Strategic Partnership with Leadership

• Report directly to our CTO—partner on technical strategy and architecture decisions

•   Work closely with CEO on company trajectory, R&D transformation, and growth initiatives

• Translate technical constraints and opportunities into business language for stakeholders

• Collaborate with Product Management on roadmap prioritization and technical feasibility

•  Coordinate with US-based customers on implementations, integrations, and technical requirements

Technical Transformation Initiatives

• Consolidate customer-specific code branches into unified, maintainable codebase

•  Reduce technical debt systematically without stalling feature delivery

• Modernize legacy components while maintaining 99.9% uptime for enterprise customers

•  Build scalable architecture that supports future growth without over-engineering

•  Drive adoption of modern development practices that fit our business reality

What Success Looks Like

In 90 Days:

• Built credibility with the team through technical competence and decisive action

•  Identified top 3-5 process improvements and started implementation

•  Resolved at least one critical technical issue that was blocking progress

•       Established clear communication rhythms with engineering managers, CTO, and CEO

In 6 Months:

•       Engineering velocity measurably improved with new processes yielding results

•       Technical debt reduction roadmap defined and actively in execution

•       Team morale demonstrably high—engineers respect your technical judgment and leadership

•       Quick wins delivered that prove your impact to the business

In 12 Months:

•       Engineering organization operates with startup efficiency and enterprise reliability

•       Processes scale to support 30-50 engineers without adding bureaucracy

•       Technical foundation is solid for next phase of company growth

•       You're the technical leader the CEO and CTO depend on for critical decisions

•       You're thinking like a business owner, not just an engineering leader

What Makes Someone Right for This

Must-Have Qualities

✅  Execution obsession – You ship. You don't just plan, discuss, and strategize endlessly.

✅  Technical credibility – Engineers respect you because you can do the work, not just manage it.

✅  Owner mentality – You think about ROI, customer impact, and business outcomes.

✅  Comfort with ambiguity – You've operated without perfect processes or unlimited resources.

✅  Direct communication – You tell it straight, especially when delivering hard truths to leadership.

✅  Customer empathy – You've felt the pain of production incidents affecting real users and business operations.

✅  Pragmatic perfectionism – You know when "good enough now" beats "perfect later."

✅  Strategic thinking – You connect engineering decisions to business outcomes naturally.

Deal-Breakers

❌  Pure "process people" who've never written production code or made technical decisions under pressure

❌  Leaders who need perfect information before making decisions

❌  Those seeking predictable 9-to-5 corporate roles with clearly defined swim lanes

❌  Anyone uncomfortable with hands-on technical work when business needs demand it

❌  Leaders who create process for process's sake rather than business value

❌  People who see engineering as separate from business success

Why This Opportunity is Different

It's Real

•       Profitable company – 16 years, real revenue, real customers (not burning through funding rounds)

•       Enterprise customers – Major US infrastructure organizations depend on our platform for daily operations

•       Mission-critical systems – When we go down, procurement operations for major infrastructure companies stop

•       Technical challenges – Scaling, modernization, integration complexity—substantive engineering problems

•       Proven product-market fit – We're not searching for PMF; we're scaling what works

It's Rare

•       Bootstrapped DNA – We think like owners, not corporate employees spending someone else's money

•       Transformation opportunity – Build Silicon Valley-grade engineering in a profitable, established company

•       Direct impact – Your decisions directly affect company trajectory and customer success

•       Leadership access – Work directly with CEO and CTO, no layers of middle management or politics

•       Entrepreneurial environment – In a company with stability, revenue, and runway

It's Yours to Build

•       Autonomy – Implement processes your way (as long as they deliver results)

•       Growth path – Scale team from 15 to 50+ engineers as you prove the model works

•       Culture creation – Define the engineering culture and standards that will shape the company's future

•       Long-term impact – This is a career-defining role, not a stepping stone or a layover

•       Ownership mindset – Treated like a business partner, not just a hired hand

What We Offer

Compensation & Structure

•       ₹40-50 LPA (Fixed) based on experience, background, and entrepreneurial track record

•       Performance-based bonus tied to engineering KPIs, team performance, and company success

Professional Growth

•       Direct partnership with CEO and CTO on strategic initiatives and company direction

•       Budget for conferences, certifications, and continuous learning

•       Opportunity to build and lead team from 15 to 50+ engineers

•       Work on enterprise-scale technical challenges serving major enterprises

•       Shape the technical future of a company with real momentum

Work Environment

•       On-site in Hyderabad with our core R&D team

•       Sustainable pace—we value intensity and focus during work hours, not burnout culture

•       Collaborative environment with low politics, high ownership, and straight talk

•       No VC pressure, unrealistic growth targets, or quarterly fire drills

•       Work with people who've chosen to be here, not waiting for their next opportunity

Stability Meets Opportunity

•       Profitable company with 16-year track record

•       Established customer base generating predictable revenue

•       Growth trajectory that's ambitious but sustainable

•       Resources to invest in the right talent and technology

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

Flexible work setup, including hybrid options. Monday to Friday. Learn more about us at https://www.solarsquare.in.

Senior Full Stack Engineer (4 to 8 years)


About RunLoyal

RunLoyal is a fast-growing vertical SaaS and payments company headquartered in Atlanta, GA, building the operating system for the pet care industry — boarding, daycare, grooming, training, and dog parks. Our platform runs the daily operations of hundreds of real businesses, and our 2026 focus is scaling the product engine behind an expanding enterprise segment.


We're hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer to lead our most strategic builds.


The Role

This is not a sprint-pool position. You'll operate the way forward-deployed engineers do — dropped into a problem space and trusted to drive it from ambiguity to shipped. You'll be handed a strategic initiative (a new AI product build, a greenfield module, a flagship platform project), gather context directly from stakeholders and customers, set the technical direction, structure the work, and deliver with teammates — leading from the front.


You'll report to the Head of Engineering and work embedded with the Head of Product on new initiatives, in an independent lane with direct access to leadership. We operate AI-native: our newest product surfaces are being designed and built with agentic AI workflows at the core, and you'll help define how AI-native engineering works here — not just follow a playbook.


Honest framing: we're a fast-moving, founder-driven team in transition toward modern SaaS delivery practice. You'll have real autonomy and real accountability in equal measure. If you need a fully paved road, this isn't your role. If you've shipped meaningful things through ambiguity before — and enjoyed it — read on.


What You'll Own

1. Strategic build projects — end-to-end

Own flagship initiatives from first principles to production: architecture, delivery plan, execution with teammates, release, and post-release iteration. You're accountable for the outcome, not just the code — which means demoing early, cutting scope intelligently, and shipping working software on a rhythm.

2. Technical leadership from the front

Set the technical direction on your projects and bring teammates along through visible working practice — pairing, reviewing, and raising the bar rather than issuing instructions. Mentor by doing. Contribute to system design and architecture decisions across the platform, and push our engineering practices forward.

3. AI-augmented delivery — our default operating mode

Independently architect and deliver full projects using AI-augmented workflows: agentic coding (Claude Code or equivalent), spec-driven development, AI-led test generation, and structured context management. This is how the role works day-to-day, not an accelerator bolted on. You'll co-author our internal AI engineering playbooks and raise the bar for how the whole team builds.

4. Core engineering

Design and ship scalable Spring Boot microservices, RESTful APIs, and responsive frontends in Angular or React. Write efficient SQL, optimize JVM performance, own production issues on your surfaces end-to-end, and leave the codebase better documented than you found it.


Leadership & Agency — what we'll evaluate hardest

  • You lead from the front. You've set direction on projects and carried teammates with you — through working code and clear communication, not title or authority
  • High agency. You identify what's blocking the outcome and remove it yourself — whether it's code, process, or a conversation someone needs to have
  • Strong stakeholder muscle. You communicate clearly upward and outward — written updates, proactive demos, and comfort presenting to leadership and customers directly
  • Async-native. You work effectively across time zones with documentation and over-communication as defaults, not afterthoughts
  • Calm ownership under ambiguity. Handed a loosely defined problem, you structure it, sequence it, and start shipping


What You Bring

Must have


  • Significant professional software development experience with real ownership scar tissue — you've led projects, not just tickets. We care about evidence, not years
  • Strong hands-on Java and Spring Boot; solid microservices architecture and REST API design
  • Frontend experience with Angular or React
  • Experience with relational databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and SQL optimization; JVM fundamentals and backend performance
  • AI-native engineering (hard requirement). You already deliver work through AI-augmented workflows — agentic coding tools, prompt/context engineering, AI-driven testing — and can demonstrate the most complex thing you've shipped this way
  • Product-company experience: you've built for end users with daily stakes, and you think in outcomes
  • Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills; unit testing and code coverage discipline
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience


Nice to have


  • Forward-deployed, consulting, or founding-engineer experience — dropped into a customer or problem space and shipped
  • AWS (EC2, ECS), Docker, CI/CD pipelines, Redis or similar caching
  • SaaS or multi-tenant systems; Golang exposure
  • DevOps and security best practices awareness


What You'll Gain

  • Ownership of flagship builds on a live, growing SaaS platform — your projects, your outcomes, visible to the whole company
  • Direct working partnership with the Head of Product and Head of Engineering
  • A defining role in how AI-native engineering is practiced at a product company that takes it seriously
  • Fast growth in a high-velocity startup with a clear product vision


How to Apply

Send the following — applications without all three will not be reviewed:


  1. Your project story. One page or less: a project you led end-to-end through significant ambiguity — what you shipped, how you led the team, and what measurably changed. Specifics over adjectives.
  2. Your AI workflow. A short description of how AI is embedded in your actual engineering workflow today — tools, techniques, and the most complex thing you've shipped with it.
  3. Your resume.
