About the role

We're looking for a tech lead to set the technical direction for a growing team and raise the bar for everyone around them.

  • Comfort leading in a fast-paced, high-ownership early-stage environment 


Why choose us?

  • The teams building advanced hardware and the robots, machines, and devices shaping the future run
  • Direct access to founders; you'll help shape product and engineering direction, not just execute tickets
  • Fast feedback loops: what you build is in front of customers in days, not quarters
  • Profitable at Series A, so you get startup upside without the constant fundraising-survival anxiety

Salary: Up to ₹24,00,000 per annum


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.
  • Work closely with the founders on product strategy, technical trade-offs, priorities, and what to build next.
  • Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing engineering team.


What We’re Looking For


  • 6–8 years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Experience taking at least one product from zero to launch.
  • Experience building and scaling at least one product to a large user base.
  • 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.

If you enjoy building products from the ground up, staying close to the code, and using AI to fundamentally improve how engineering teams work, we’d love to hear from you.


How to Apply




Join Aura Gold and be part of building a high-performing team from the ground up!

Must-Have Skills

  • Quick at learning new security platforms.
  • Proven ability to design and build scalable systems, APIs, and integrations.
  • Experience mentoring and leading engineering teams.
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in complex environments.
  • Organized, reliable, and able to set and meet clear timelines.
  • Comfortable working directly with customers to understand needs and design solutions.
  • Familiar with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and security best practices. 

Bonus Points If You

  • Have experience building or leading integrations with enterprise security tools.
  • Like approaching challenges with a “hacker mindset.” 
  • Know your way around Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud deployments. 
  • Contribute to open source or share technical insights publicly. 

What You’ll Do

  • Be the face of Metron Security with our customers—collaborating on solutions and keeping communication clear.
  • Bridge the gap between customers and our dev team, ensuring the right info flows both ways. 
  • Mentor and train junior developers, helping them level up. 
  • Step in to tackle tough technical problems when the team needs backup.
  • Build and document knowledge about security platforms.
  • Spot potential roadblocks early and help keep projects on track.

Who You Are

  • Strategic thinker who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves.
  • Clear communicator who collaborates openly.
  • Proud of building strong, maintainable solutions that exceed expectations.
  • Curious, quick learner, and always exploring new technologies.
  • Positive, “let’s figure it out” teammate who lifts others up. 

At Metron Security, we’re all about helping security teams work smarter. If you’re excited to take on big engineering challenges, mentor others, and drive technical vision in a growing company, we’d love to talk.
