About the Role
We’re looking for a Head of Engineering to take end-to-end ownership of engineering for a fast-moving product. You’ll be responsible for architecture, execution, product quality, engineering culture, and team growth.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll spend approximately 60% of your time coding and reviewing code and 40% on product, people, and engineering leadership.
What You’ll Do
- Own engineering end to end, including architecture, development, delivery, quality, and hiring.
- Stay hands-on with the codebase, spending roughly 60% of your time writing and reviewing code.
- Establish and continuously improve the engineering workflow: how the team plans, builds, reviews, ships, and measures.
- Improve development velocity and reduce cycle time without compromising product quality.
- Drive AI-assisted software development across the engineering team using Claude Code and similar agentic coding tools as a core productivity lever.
- Establish practical systems and workflows that demonstrate measurable improvements in engineering throughput.

- 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.
