● Develop WebGL/Three.js rendering and AR workflows.
3. Team Building & Engineering Management
● Hire and grow a team of 5–8 engineers initially (scaling to 15–20).
● Establish engineering culture, values, and best practices.
● Build career frameworks, performance systems, and growth plans.
● Conduct 1:1s, mentor engineers, and drive continuous improvement.
● Set up processes for agile execution, deployments, and incident response.
4. Product & Cross-Functional Collaboration
● Work with the founder and product team on roadmap, feasibility, and prioritization.
● Translate product requirements into technical execution plans.
● Collaborate with design for UX quality and technical alignment.
● Support sales and customer success with integrations and technical discussions.
● Contribute technical inputs to product strategy and customer-facing initiatives.
5. Engineering Operations & Infrastructure
● Own CI/CD, testing frameworks, deployments, and automation.
● Create monitoring, logging, and alerting setups for reliability.
● Manage AWS infrastructure with a focus on cost and performance.
● Build internal tools, documentation, and developer workflows.
● Ensure enterprise-grade security, compliance, and reliability.
Tech Stack:
1. Frontend
React.js, Next.js, TypeScript, WebGL, Three.js
2. Backend
Node.js, Python, Express/FastAPI, REST, GraphQL

2. Highly Desirable
● AI/ML deployment experience (CV, generative AI, 3D reconstruction).
● Strong 3D graphics/WebGL/Three.js knowledge.
● Experience with real-time systems, rendering optimizations, or large-scale pipelines.
● Background in B2B SaaS, XR, gaming, or immersive tech.
● Experience scaling engineering teams from 5 → 20+.
● Open-source contributions or technical content creation.
