About the role

We're looking for a tech lead to set the technical direction for a growing team and raise the bar for everyone around them.

What you'll do

  • Lead the technical direction of a team building across our TypeScript/React + Node.js + AWS stack
  • Drive architecture decisions, document tradeoffs, and align the team on a clear technical path Mentor engineers through code review, pairing, and guidance, growing them toward strong production ownership

  • Stay hands-on: write production code on the highest-leverage and hardest problems
  • Partner with product and leadership to scope work, manage technical risk, and deliver predictably
  • Be accountable for the reliability and maturity of the systems your team owns in production


What we're looking for

  • Demonstrated technical leadership: you've set direction for a team and elevated those around you
  • Strong full-stack proficiency in TypeScript, React, and Node.js, plus solid AWS depth
  • A track record of shipping to production and owning systems in operation, and of holding a team to that same standard
  • Strong architectural judgment: you decompose ambiguous problems, weigh tradeoffs, and make decisions others can build on
  • Excellent communication: you keep your team aligned and stakeholders informed, and you surface risk early
  • Comfort leading in a fast-paced, high-ownership early-stage environmentĀ 


Why choose us?

  • The teams building advanced hardware and the robots, machines, and devices shaping the future run
  • Direct access to founders; you'll help shape product and engineering direction, not just execute tickets
  • Fast feedback loops: what you build is in front of customers in days, not quarters
  • Profitable at Series A, so you get startup upside without the constant fundraising-survival anxiety
  • Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
  • Bi-yearly appraisal cycles
  • Upto 20% Bonus based on performance
  • Monthly Swiggy vouchers
  • Flexibility with work hours

Founding Full-Stack Engineer / Technical Lead — X.re


We are building X.re — an AI-first CRM built specifically for real estate companies.


X.re is not another generic CRM. It is being designed around the real estate sales funnel, with AI-powered WhatsApp conversations, AI voice, lead scoring, workflow automation and advertising intelligence built into the system.


The product is already being built and is currently being tested with a real estate pilot client.


We are now looking for a senior engineer who can take ownership of the existing codebase and help take it from AI-assisted development into a robust, production-ready SaaS product.


What you'll be doing

  • Take ownership of an existing Next.js + TypeScript codebase.
  • Understand the existing architecture, database structure, APIs and application flows.
  • Conduct a thorough engineering review and identify production, security, scalability and reliability risks.
  • Refactor and improve the code where required rather than blindly rewriting the system.
  • Build and maintain production-quality frontend and backend features.
  • Design and maintain APIs, database models and integrations.
  • Work on a multi-tenant SaaS architecture where each real estate brand has its own workspace and data isolation.
  • Work closely with AI/LLM-powered features including chat, voice and lead intelligence.
  • Work on WhatsApp Business API integrations, webhooks and messaging infrastructure.
  • Build reliable automation and workflow functionality.
  • Implement proper authentication, authorization, data isolation, logging, monitoring and error handling.
  • Help establish engineering standards, testing and deployment practices.
  • Eventually build and lead the engineering team as X.re scales.


What we're looking for

We are looking for someone who has strong engineering judgment, not someone who simply knows a list of technologies.


You should be able to:

  • Enter an unfamiliar codebase and understand it quickly.
  • Identify what is well designed and what is technically risky.
  • Take an MVP and turn it into production-grade software.
  • Make pragmatic architectural decisions.
  • Think about security, scalability, reliability and maintainability.
  • Work independently and take ownership.
  • Read and review code generated or assisted by AI.
  • Know when AI-generated code is acceptable and when it needs to be redesigned.
  • Build rather than just manage developers.


Technical requirements

Strong experience with:

  • TypeScript
  • Next.js / React
  • Node.js
  • REST APIs
  • PostgreSQL / SQL
  • Modern SaaS application architecture
  • Cloud deployment
  • Git and production development workflows


Experience with the following is a strong advantage:

  • AI/LLM applications
  • WhatsApp Business API
  • Webhooks
  • Multi-tenant SaaS
  • API integrations
  • Docker
  • AWS or similar cloud platforms
  • CI/CD
  • Observability and production monitoring


One important thing

This is not a greenfield project.

The existing product has been built significantly with AI-assisted development.

We are specifically looking for an engineer who is comfortable inheriting an existing codebase, understanding it deeply, challenging its assumptions, fixing what needs fixing, and taking responsibility for making it production-ready.

You will not be expected to rewrite everything just because it wasn't originally written by you.

Why this role is different

You won't just be implementing tickets.


You'll have significant influence over:

  • Engineering architecture
  • Production readiness
  • Technical standards
  • Infrastructure
  • AI integration strategy
  • Product engineering decisions
  • Future engineering team structure


If things go well, this role can grow into Head of Engineering / CTO-level ownership as X.re scales.

Location


Hyderabad preferred. Remote candidates across India may be considered for the right candidate.

Compensation


₹20–35 LPA + ESOP


Compensation will depend on experience and level of ownership.

  • You lead by example and bring momentum to everything and everyone you work with.

  • Comfortable working with React Native / Expo.
  • Strong understanding of PostgreSQL and database fundamentals.
  • Previous experience leading a small engineering team.
  • A leadership style based on ownership and technical example, rather than simply assigning tickets.
  • Daily experience with agentic coding tools, with the ability to demonstrate how they have improved development speed and team throughput.
  • Strong product instincts and the ability to form opinions about user problems, not just technical implementation.
  • Based in Chennai or willing to relocate.


How We Work


We operate with high pace, high ownership, and short feedback loops.

You’ll be expected to get close to the product, understand the users, make decisions quickly, and ship within your first week.

You'll own features end to end, from database schema to UI, and use AI tools daily to ship faster without lowering the quality bar.

What You'll Do

Ā 

Frontend

  • Build responsive, accessible, high-performance UIs with React, Next.js (App Router, RSC) and TypeScript
  • Build AI-facing interfaces: streaming chat UIs, tool-call/agent-status displays, and loading, error, and retry states for non-deterministic outputs
  • Monitor web vitals and fix performance regressions

Backend

  • Design and build scalable REST/GraphQL APIs and services with Node.js and NestJS
  • Model, query, and optimize data in PostgreSQL (schema design, indexing, migrations) using an ORM like Prisma or Drizzle
  • Implement auth, authorization, validation, background jobs, queues, and caching (Redis)
  • Integrate LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini), including streaming (SSE/WebSockets), tool calling, retries, rate limits, and cost/latency control

AI-Assisted Engineering

  • Use AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) for scaffolding, refactoring, debugging, and test writing
  • Write and maintain project context for AI tools (rules files, AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, reusable prompts) so the whole team gets better output
  • Review AI-generated code critically for correctness, security, performance, and maintainability

Team and Delivery

  • Write unit, integration, and E2E tests, using AI to speed them up rather than skip them
  • Take part in code reviews, sprint planning, architecture discussions, and on-call/incident follow-ups
  • Document APIs, decisions, and runbooks clearly

Must-Have (Non-Negotiable)

Frontend

  • Strong JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript
  • React (hooks, state management, rendering behavior) and Next.js (App Router, SSR/SSG/RSC)
  • HTML/CSS fundamentals, Tailwind or similar, responsive design, and accessibility basics

Backend

  • Production experience with Node.js and a structured framework (NestJS preferred; Express/Fastify with good architecture is fine)
  • Solid PostgreSQL skills: relational modeling, joins, indexes, transactions, query optimization
  • API design: REST principles, pagination, versioning, error handling, input validation
  • Authentication and authorization (JWT, OAuth2, sessions, RBAC)

Engineering Fundamentals

  • Git, PR workflows, and code review habits
  • Testing across layers (Jest/Vitest, React Testing Library, API/integration tests; Playwright/Cypress is a plus)
  • Basic security awareness (OWASP top 10, secrets management, input sanitization)

AI-Assisted Development

  • Daily, hands-on use of at least one AI coding tool (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Windsurf, or similar)
  • Ability to write clear prompts, give useful context, and break big tasks into steps an AI can handle
  • Habit of reviewing, testing, and understanding AI output before committing it
  • Basic understanding of how LLMs work: context windows, hallucinations, token cost, and why outputs vary

Ā 

Nice to Have

  • Redis, message queues (BullMQ, SQS, Kafka), or event-driven architecture
  • Monorepo tooling (Turborepo, pnpm workspaces, Nx)
  • Design system or component library work (shadcn/ui, Radix, Storybook)
  • tRPC, GraphQL, or OpenAPI-driven type-safe clients
  • Multi-tenant SaaS, payments (Stripe/Razorpay), or real-time features
  • Open-source contributions, a side project, or shipped AI features you can demo

What We Expect From You

  • Ownership: take a feature from schema to UI to production, and flag risks early
  • Judgment over speed: AI makes you faster, and you're still accountable for every line you ship
  • Security awareness: no secrets in prompts, no blind copy-paste of AI code, and sensitive data stays out of third-party tools
  • Systems thinking: consider scale, failure modes, and cost, not just the happy path
  • Learning speed: the AI tooling landscape changes every few months, and you keep up and share what works
  • Clear communication: PRs, docs, and async updates that others can follow
