Founding Engineer Lead at Craft My Plate · Hyderabad · 5 - 14 years · ₹30L - ₹50L / yr (ESOP available) · Bootstrapped · Posted 23 Sep 2026

Read This Before Anything Else
We have 6 developers who can ship. What we don't have is someone who turns that into a real engineering function: real architecture, real leverage, real AI-driven advantage. If that gap sounds like an opportunity rather than a headache, you're in the right place. If it sounds like a lot of undefined work with no playbook handed to you, this one probably isn't for you. That's completely okay. There are plenty of great roles that fit differently.
About CraftMyPlate
CraftMyPlate is Hyderabad's go-to platform for food experiences for micro-events: house parties, birthdays, office celebrations, festive gatherings, and more. We're building the operating system for how India discovers, customises, and orders food for smaller events. We're backed by established founders and investors, and we're funded and growing fast. The next phase of that growth runs through engineering.
Where We Stand
Some numbers, because they matter more than adjectives. Order volume has grown 50x in two years, and we're compounding at roughly 3x year over year, without giving up equity to fund it. That means the business runs on its own economics. The growth is real demand, not runway bought with dilution, and every efficient architectural decision this role makes directly protects that.
Most people size up an opportunity by asking what's going to change in ten years. The more useful question, and the one this company is built around, is what won't change. People will keep gathering. They'll keep celebrating, hosting, and marking festivals, in 10 years and in 20. That permanence is the bet. You're not building infrastructure for a trend cycle. You're building for a category that outlasts the current AI wave, the next funding round, and probably us too.
The Technical Reality
Here's an honest read of the engineering problem, not a sanitized version of it.
Event-driven commerce doesn't scale like typical e-commerce. Demand isn't smooth, it's spiky: weekends, festival calendars, and event dates create real load concentration, and each order is tied to a hard deadline that can't slip the way a shipped package can. That has direct architectural consequences: systems need to handle bursty, unpredictable traffic without paying for idle capacity the rest of the time, which is exactly why we're serverless-first on AWS rather than running a fixed fleet sized for peak.
Underneath that, every order touches multiple systems that have to stay consistent: kitchen and vendor fulfillment status, inventory across partners, payment gateway settlement, and refunds, often in real time and often across more than one vendor for a single event. Getting that consistency right across SQL and NoSQL stores, without it becoming a source of support tickets and manual reconciliation, is a real architecture problem, not a CRUD problem.
The AI-agent layer is the next lever, and it's a business lever as much as a technical one. Every workflow we can hand to a well-orchestrated agent instead of a new hire is a workflow that scales without adding headcount, which is exactly how a company grows 3x a year without diluting equity to fund the team behind it. That's why agent orchestration across multiple LLMs, using LangGraph, sits in the "go deep" tier of this role rather than being a nice-to-have.
You'll likely find some of this framing right and some of it worth challenging once you're actually in the codebase. That's expected, and honestly preferred over someone who just nods along.
Why This Role Exists
You'll be the most senior technical person in the company, reporting directly to the founder. Not a manager brought in to run standups. An owner. You set the architecture, you write code yourself, and you make the team materially better. You also own where AI and automation take this company next, starting with our first in-house AI agent product (details shared in the interview), and expanding from there into how the company runs, department by department: HR, finance, marketing, design, development, all sitting on an engineering layer that you design.
If you've outgrown a role where you plan but don't build, or where good ideas die in a committee, this is built to be the opposite of that.
What You'll Own
- Architecture, end to end. Scalable, cost-efficient systems from day one, not "fix it later" engineering. You own the decisions and their long-term consequences.
- Hands-on building. You are still writing code and shipping. This isn't a seat where you review other people's work all day. You lead by building.
- The engineering team. Directly manage, mentor, and level up our 6 developers. Build the technical bar, the review culture, and the calibration that lets the team ship independently.
- The AI-agent roadmap. Own the architecture behind our first AI agent product, then the broader strategy for AI agents and automation across every function in the company, with engineering as the layer underneath all of it.
- Team scaling. Build the next layer of leads under you so execution quality scales without you being the bottleneck.
- Technical accountability. When something breaks, you fix it. You don't escalate and wait.
Our Stack, and the Depth We Expect
Not everything on this list needs the same level of mastery. Some of it you need to own at an architectural level. The rest you need to be strong enough to build yourself, direct the team on, or delegate to AI agents with confidence.
Go deep here. This is where the real architecture decisions live, and where the business impact is highest:
- AWS, serverless first. You should be genuinely well versed in AWS application development, not just "have used AWS." You should be able to design and guide serverless architecture (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Step Functions, and similar) as our default way of building, because our demand curve is spiky by nature and fixed infrastructure is money left on the table.
- TypeScript, our primary language across backend and frontend.
- Agent orchestration across multiple LLMs, using LangGraph. This is core to our AI roadmap and our path to scaling operations without scaling headcount. You own how it's architected, not just how it's used.
Working proficiency. Build it yourself, direct the team, or hand it to an AI agent and know if the output is right.
This Is You If
- You've built and shipped real production systems yourself, not just reviewed other people's architecture from a distance.
- You go deep wherever the problem is, and you're comfortable owning the exact stack described above, not just "full-stack" in the abstract.
- You've made engineers around you measurably better, whether or not you've held the title for it yet.
- You're already using AI coding tools and agents seriously, like Claude, Cursor, or similar tools, as part of how you build, not as something you tried once. We'll likely explore this together in the interview.
- You have a bias toward leverage over hours. You'd rather automate or systematize a problem than grind through it. But when something's live and needs to be done right, you see it through completely, with no half-finished work.
- You want to build something for years, not land somewhere comfortable. We'll know the difference from how you talk about your last three years.
This Might Not Be the Right Fit If
- You'd prefer a stable, well-defined role with clear boundaries and someone else making the calls. That's a fair thing to want, just not what this is.
- You'd rather receive direction than bring us architecture and AI strategy yourself.
- You haven't yet gotten hands-on with AI coding tools in your daily work.
- You're drawn more to the title than the work behind it.
If none of that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
Requirements
- 5 to 7 years of experience in software engineering, with real ownership of architecture-level decisions, not just feature delivery.
- Prior experience leading or mentoring engineers, formally or informally.
- Tier-1 or Tier-1+ engineering college strongly preferred (IIT, BITS, top NIT tier, or equivalent). We'll consider other institutions only with clearly commendable, verifiable work: real systems you can walk us through in depth, strong open-source contributions, or a track record that speaks for itself. Pedigree is a proxy for speed, not a checkbox. We test for the underlying ability regardless.
- Comfortable in an early-stage environment: undefined problems, few processes, and the expectation that you help define both.
Compensation
Competitive, with equity. We're formalizing a structured ESOP program alongside this hire. Specific numbers are discussed directly in later interview rounds.
If reading this got you a little excited about what you'd build here, we'd genuinely love to talk. If it didn't quite land, no hard feelings. We just want the right fit for both sides.

What We Expect
We are looking for a highly hands-on technical leader who can independently architect, design, develop, optimize, and deploy complex production systems. The ideal candidate must demonstrate genuine technical depth, strong engineering judgment, and the ability to lead end-to-end product development across backend, web, mobile, cloud, and AI technologies.
Most software was written for people to read. We are rebuilding a large, mature codebase so that AI agents can read it, change it and ship it too, without breaking what already works.
In this role you will decide how the system should be cut up and what each piece promises to the others. You will put legacy logic behind clear contracts, one safe step at a time. You will design the data models, APIs and tests that keep behavior correct under load, retries and failure. You will build the MCP tools and agent context that agents rely on, and you will set the bar for what AI-written code must meet before it merges.
You will work hands-on, not from the sidelines, and you will own your work from design through production. You will also explain your trade-offs clearly to engineers, QA, operations and product, and bring them along with your decisions. The role is remote and on contract, with a globally distributed team. It suits an architect who reasons from first principles, uses AI tools daily with healthy skepticism, and is comfortable with open-ended problems.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Design systems that agents can operate
- Break legacy monoliths into modular systems with strict boundaries, single responsibility and clear contracts.
- Lead incremental modernization using the Strangler Pattern, wrapping legacy logic behind modern, contract-first interfaces.
- Design data models, keys and constraints from the queries and rules the system must always uphold, and enforce integrity in the database instead of leaving it only to application code.
- Apply SOLID principles, dependency injection and hexagonal architecture so AI-generated changes stay deterministic and regressions stay low.
- Design for real-world cases: simultaneous requests, retries and duplicate messages, partial failures, and changes to data that already exists.
Build the agent and MCP layer
- Build and maintain the agent context layer: shared skills, rules and commands for AI-driven engineering workflows.
- Build and run Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that expose legacy APIs, services and databases as typed, permissioned, auditable tools.
- Own contract-first API design as the main interface between human intent and agent execution.
- Design agent loops with clear tools, permissions and stop conditions, and tune them for cost, speed and quality.
Keep AI-written code trustworthy
- Review AI-generated pull requests for correctness, security, scalability and maintainability. Check that tests assert real behavior and do not just pass.
- Require test-first development and characterization tests that preserve legacy behavior during refactoring.
- Set the review habits, checklists and guardrails that help the wider team use AI tools well, and know when not to use them.
Own outcomes and work across the business
- Take responsibility from design through production, including monitoring, incidents and follow-up.
- Ask the right questions up front, explain trade-offs in plain language, and bring product, QA and operations teams along with your decisions.
- Mentor engineers and set a consistent standard for design and code quality.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- 6+ years in software architecture, platform engineering or technical leadership.
- Proven experience modernizing large, poorly documented legacy systems.
- Strong hands-on depth in TypeScript and Node.js, or in .NET. Depth in one is enough.
- Strong command of API design, relational data modeling, SQL, transactions and concurrency.
- Solid system design fundamentals: queues, caches, background workers, sync versus async, and what breaks first as load grows.
- Practical, day-to-day use of AI coding tools on real projects, with a deliberate workflow, a habit of verifying output and a clear view of the risks. Experience building agents, MCP servers or AI tooling is a strong plus.
- A bias toward clean code, tests first, deterministic systems and production-grade AI.
- Clear written and spoken communication, and the independence to work with little day-to-day oversight.
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience with remote-first or globally distributed teams.
- Background in SaaS transformations, scale-ups or private equity-backed environments.
- Comfort in high-ambiguity, high-ownership settings.
HOW WE HIRE
Expect an online assessment followed by technical conversations where you will reason through data models, queries and designs in plain language, and explain how you use AI tools in your own work. We are looking for sound thinking and honest answers, so please be ready to explain your own resume claims in detail.
