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

What this role is
You are an engineer who leads projects at the scope of a service or major subsystem.
That means: when a problem lands on your desk, it's usually ambiguous. Your job is to turn it into a clear problem statement, design a system to solve it, ship it through to production, and own how it behaves once it's there. You'll work with one or two engineers on most projects, and you'll be the technical person product, ops, and other engineering teams talk to about that domain.
You're not a senior individual contributor who only writes code for assigned tickets. You're not a tech lead who's stopped writing code. You're the person between those two — still hands-on, but increasingly the one shaping what gets built.
What you'll do
- Solve 2–4 complex problems a year end-to-end: shape the problem, design the system, ship it, monitor it.
- Design single-service systems independently. Define API contracts, data models, scale and reliability requirements. Document and review your design with peers before building.
- Turn ambiguity into clarity. Take half-formed product tasks and partner with PMs to define what's actually being built. Push back when the ask doesn't make sense.
- Stay hands-on. Write code that goes into production. Drive code reviews. Debug across service boundaries. Refactor when the codebase needs it.
- Mentor 1–2 junior engineers. Be someone's first reviewer. Pair when it helps. Take their growth as your responsibility, not a side activity.
- Be in hiring. Interview candidates regularly. Help shape the interview bar for your function.
- Own outcomes, not output. Track the business or operational metric your work moves. If it doesn't move, that's a problem you own — not a problem you delivered to.
What we're looking for
- Over 4 years of professional experience in software development, specifically focused on solving large-scale technical challenges.
- Expert-level proficiency in at least one major programming language (such as Java, GO, Rust, NodeJS etc) with a focus on writing scalable, maintainable, and unit-tested code.
- Strong command of object-oriented design, design patterns, and the creation of intuitive class-level interfaces.
- Hands-on experience with multi-threading, concurrency, and Test-Driven Development (TDD).
- Deep understanding of relational databases (Postgres) and various NoSQL technologies like HBase, Elasticsearch, or Aerospike, Cassandra
- Comprehensive knowledge of the full software development life cycle on Linux platforms.
- Proven ability to build highly scalable applications that manage complex business logic and massive datasets.
- A proactive, "go-getter" mindset characterized by high energy and dedication to task ownership.
- Experience thriving in fast-paced startup environments with a strong sense of commitment and accountability.
- A passionate drive to tackle complex, real-world problems through innovative engineering.
- You've made and defended technical decisions, picked up problems no one assigned, or built things people use that no one asked for.
- Strong fundamentals in your primary stack — concurrency, data modeling, debugging across systems, performance work. We're stack-agnostic for the right person.
- Experience designing systems with explicit attention to scale, reliability, and cost — not just functional correctness.
- Collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders to monitor project outcomes and iteratively refine features based on real-world impact.
We’re on the hunt for a Principal Engineer who loves solving tough problems, mentoring others, and shaping the future of our platform. In this role, you’ll be leading the design and build of scalable systems and integrations across major cybersecurity platforms.

- Hands-on exposure to 250+ security platforms (yep, really).
- Direct contact with customers so you can see the impact of your work right away.
- A fast-paced, growth-focused culture—but we also respect work-life balance. No weekends, and only occasional evening calls.
What We’re Looking For
We’re hoping to meet someone who has both deep technical expertise and natural leadership instincts. You think holistically about systems, enjoy digging into tricky problems, and can guide both teammates and customers to success.
Must-Have Skills
- Solid programming experience across multiple languages (Python, TypeScript, Java, Node.js, Angular, React, C#, C++… we’re language-agnostic and use the best tool for the job).
- Quick at learning new security platforms.
- Proven ability to design and build scalable systems, APIs, and integrations.
- Experience mentoring and leading engineering teams.
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in complex environments.
- Organized, reliable, and able to set and meet clear timelines.

Bonus Points If You
- Have experience building or leading integrations with enterprise security tools.
- Like approaching challenges with a “hacker mindset.”
- Know your way around Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud deployments.
- Contribute to open source or share technical insights publicly.
What You’ll Do
- Be the face of Metron Security with our customers—collaborating on solutions and keeping communication clear.
