Full Stack Lead Engineer

Why This Role Matters

• We are looking for a Staff Engineer to lead the technical direction and hands-on development of our next-generation, agentic AI-first marketing platforms. This is a high-impact role to architect, build, and ship products that change how marketers interact with data, plan campaigns, and make decisions.

What You'll Do

• Build Gen-AI native products: Architect, build, and ship platforms powered by LLMs, agents, and predictive AI
• Stay hands-on: Design systems, write code, debug, and drive product excellence
• Lead with depth: Mentor a high-caliber team of full stack engineers.
• Speed to market: Rapidly ship and iterate on MVPs to maximize learning and feedback.
• Own the full stack: From backend data pipelines to intuitive UIs—from Airflow to React - from BigQuery to embeddings.
• Scale what works: Ensure scalability, security, and performance in multi-tenant, cloud-native environments (GCP).
• Collaborate deeply: Work closely with product, growth, and leadership to align tech with business priorities.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience building and scaling full-stack, data-driven products
• Proficiency in backend (Node.js, Python) and frontend (React), with solid GCP experience
• Strong grasp of data pipelines, analytics, and real-time data processing
• Familiarity with Gen-AI frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI APIs, vector databases)
• Proven architectural leadership and technical ownership
• Product mindset with a bias for execution and iteration

Our Tech Stack

• Cloud: Google Cloud Platform
• Backend: Node.js, Python, Airflow
• Data: BigQuery, Cloud SQL
• AI/ML: TensorFlow, OpenAI APIs, custom agents
• Frontend: React.js

What You Get

• Meaningful equity in a high-growth startup
• The chance to build global products from India
• A culture that values clarity, ownership, learning, humility, and candor
• A rare opportunity to build with Gen-AI from the ground up

Who You Are

• You’re initiative-driven, not interruption-driven.
• You code because you love building things that matter.
• You enjoy ambiguity and solve problems from first principles.
• You believe true leadership is contextual, hands-on, and grounded.
• You’re here to build — not just maintain.
• You care deeply about seeing your products empower real users, run reliably at scale, and adapt intelligently with minimal manual effort.
• You know that elegant code is just 30% of the job — the real craft lies in the engineering rigour, edge-case handling, and production resilience that make great products truly dependable.
