- Strong hands-on expertise in Python and Node.js.
- 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.
