Engineering Head

Storytelling platforms have not evolved with smartphones, as we still consume stories being passive observers. At Raidenbit, we are building http://onelink.to/kahaniboxapp">KahaniBox - The Netflix for interactive fiction in Indian languages. We create stories with immersive roleplay experiences that allow the audience to control how the stories unfold and end. And while doing that, we are solving some fascinating problems around decoding human psychology and understanding our audience’s content tastes using engineering and data science.

We are looking for an Engineering Head to join our founding team and drive the vision and architecture for scaling KahaniBox to 100M+ monthly users.

• Implement and continuously improve processes for high-velocity engineering, including DevOps, testing, CI/CD, PRs, etc.
• Keep technical debt under control by reinforcing and evolving our engineering culture, which values code reviews, high test coverage, and adequate documentation.

You have:
