Head of Strategic Operations

Engineering Manager – Backend 

Location: Flexible / Hybrid (Mon–Fri)

Website: https://www.solarsquare.in

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

We are building VYXN.AI — a full AI content generation platform with a web application, Templates, Workflow / Space, dynamic credits/coins pricing, AI provider integrations, Telegram bot and Telegram Mini App.

The final goal is not a small prototype. The product should be built in clear stages:

1. Technical Foundation

2. First usable product release

- AI provider integration layer

- Basic working version of Workflow / Space with node-based UI

- Telegram bot

- Telegram Mini App

- Customer support bot

Important:

The platform should be built using existing AI APIs and providers, not by training custom AI models at the first stage.

We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Developer / Tech Lead who can write code, structure the project technically, and help define the right staged development plan.

Responsibilities:

- Review the full project brief and propose a practical implementation plan

- Build or lead the core web application

- Implement frontend and backend logic

- Backend architecture understanding

- Ability to work independently and communicate clearly

- Comfortable with fixed milestones and clear acceptance criteria

Nice to have:

- Redis / BullMQ / queues

- AI API integrations

- Image or video generation API experience

- React Flow or node-based workflow UI experience

- AWS / GCP / Cloudflare / S3-compatible storage

- Telegram Bot / Telegram Mini App experience

- Dynamic pricing, wallet, credits or usage-based billing experience

- Admin panels and support tools

Project format:

- Remote

- Contract or full-time possible

- Fixed milestones preferred for the first stages

- Code must be developed in our GitHub repository

- Deployment should be done through project-owned accounts

- Long-term cooperation possible if the first stage goes well

We are not looking for a large agency. We prefer a strong individual developer or a compact team that can move fast, communicate clearly and build a practical commercial product in stages.
