Job Overview
Ikwat is an AI-powered event creation and ticketing platform designed for India's micro-event hosts—yoga instructors, supper club chefs, workshop facilitators, and community organizers. We're pre-seed stage, currently raising and looking for a driven sales person to help onboard our first host partnerships.
You'll be the first person on the sales team, building direct relationships with potential hosts, understanding their pain points, and demonstrating how Ikwat saves them time and increases revenue. This is a hands-on role reporting directly to the founder.
What You'll Do
• Identify and outreach to potential hosts across yoga, wellness, food, workshops, and community event spaces (LinkedIn, direct email, Instagram and referral networks).
• Conduct product demos and discovery calls to understand host requirements and pain points.
• Close partnerships: Onboard hosts onto the platform, and support early activation.
• Track pipeline, forecast, and report weekly progress to founder (Google Sheets, basic CRM).
• Provide feedback on product gaps and user feedback from real hosts to inform roadmap.
Who You Are
• 0–5 years of B2B sales or business development experience (SaaS, SMB products, or marketplaces preferred, but not required if you have sales hunger).
• Comfortable with cold outreach—LinkedIn, email, Instagram and phone calls—and converting interest into meetings.
• Direct, honest communication; pushback on ideas is expected and valued. Comfortable in ambiguity and wearing multiple hats in an early-stage start-up.

Description
What This Role Is All About
We’re looking for a Backend Tech Lead who’s equally obsessed with architecture decisions and clean code, someone who can zoom out to design systems and zoom in to fix that one weird memory leak.

What You’ll Own
● Architect backend systems that handle India-scale traffic without breaking a sweat.
● Build and evolve microservices, APIs, and internal platforms that our entire app depends on.
● Guide, mentor, and uplevel a team of backend engineers—be the go-to technical brain.
● Partner with Product, Data, and Infra to ship features that are reliable and delightful.
● Set high engineering standards—clean architecture, performance, automation, and testing.
● Lead discussions on system design, performance tuning, and infra choices.
● Keep an eye on production like a hawk: metrics, monitoring, logs, uptime.
● Identify gaps proactively and push for improvements instead of waiting for fires.
What Makes You a Great Fit
● 6+ years of backend experience; 1–2 years leading engineers or owning major systems.
● Strong in one core language (Node.js / Go / Java / Python) — pick your sword.
● Deep understanding of distributed systems, caching, high-availability, and microservices.
● Hands-on with AWS/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines.
● You think data structures and system design are not interviews — they’re daily tools.
● You write code that future-you won’t hate.
● Strong communication and a let’s figure this out attitude.
Bonus Points If You Have
● Built or scaled consumer apps with millions of DAUs.
● Experimented with event-driven architecture, streaming systems, or real-time pipelines.
● Love startups and don’t mind wearing multiple hats.
● Experience on logging/monitoring tools like Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, OpenTelemetry.
Why company Might Be Your Best Move
● Work on products used by real people every single day.
● Ownership from day one—your decisions will shape our core architecture.
● No unnecessary hierarchy; direct access to founders and senior leadership.
● A team that cares about quality, speed, and impact in equal measure.
● Build for Bharat — complex constraints, huge scale, real impact.
