Why This Role Matters

We’re looking for a Principal Engineer to lead the architecture and execution of our GenAI-powered, self-serve marketing platforms. You will work directly with the CEO to shape, build, and scale products that change how marketers interact with data and AI. This is intrapreneurship in action — not a sandbox innovation lab, but a real-world product with traction, velocity, and high stakes.

What You'll Do

• Co-own product architecture and direction alongside the CEO.
• Build GenAI-native, full-stack platforms from MVP to scale — powered by LLMs, agents, and predictive AI.
• Own the full stack: React (frontend), Node.js/Python (backend), GCP (infra), BigQuery (data), and vector databases (AI).
• Lead a lean, high-caliber team with a hands-on, unblock-and-coach mindset.
• Drive rapid iteration with rigor, balancing short-term delivery with long-term resilience.
• Ensure scalability, observability, and fault tolerance in multi-tenant, cloud-native environments.
• Bridge business and tech — aligning execution with evolving user and market insights.

What You Bring

• 8–12 years of experience building and scaling full-stack, data-heavy or AI-driven products.
• Fluency in React, Node.js, and Google Cloud (Functions, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Airflow, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with GenAI tools (LangChain, OpenAI APIs, LlamaIndex) is a bonus.
• Track record of shipping products from ambiguity to impact.
• Strong product mindset — your goal is user value, not just elegant code.
• Architectural leadership with ownership of engineering rigor and scaling best practices.
• Startup or founder DNA — you’ve built things from scratch and know how to move fast without breaking things.

Who You Are

• A former founder, senior IC, or tech lead who’s done zero-to-one and 1-to-n scaling.
• Hungry for ownership and velocity — frustrated by bureaucracy or stagnation.
• You code because you care about solving real problems for real users.
• You’re pragmatic, hands-on, and grounded in first principles.
• You understand that great software isn't just shipped — it's hardened, maintained, and evolves with minimal manual effort.
• You’re open to evolving into a founding engineer role with influence over the tech vision and culture.

What You Get

• Equity in a high-growth product-led startup.
• A chance to build global products out of India with full-stack and GenAI innovation.
• Access to high-context decision-making and direct collaboration with the CEO.
• A tight, ego-free team and a culture that values clarity, ownership, learning, and candor.

We are seeking a very talented remote/onsite Senior Software Engineer, proficient in front-end and backend development. We prefer to rapidly develop with frequent releases and aim to provide amazing experiences for our end users.

Each engineer is treated as a true owner, with a high degree of ownership and autonomy. We are looking for a product minded, independent thinker -- not someone whose hand we will hold to make product decisions. We aim for a lean, fast-moving team that prefers to avoid meetings and focus 100% on driving impact.

Responsibilities:

• * Work with cutting-edge front-end and back-end technologies in designing, building, and maintaining performance, responsiveness, and delightful experiences for our customers.

• * An appreciation for good design, and the desire to translate visual ideas into working, beautiful code.
• * Experience in building scalable solutions with a high level of code quality through automated tests and good architecture.
• * Ability to solve complex data problems and think of best ways to present these to users.
• * Strong team player with excellent communication skills and high degree of ownership and drive.

Ideal skills:

1) 2-5 years of professional JavaScript development experience

2) Understanding of asynchronous programming and its quirks and workarounds

3) Comfortable working through the entire stack from the user interface through systems levels

4) Understanding accessibility and security compliance

5) Strong Logical and Analytical Skills

In depth knowledge of all of the above is not mandatory but the nature of the work will involve learning and getting involved with all of the above. You would be working directly with key members of the management team to define and drive technical strategy.

Experience in the mobile space is mandatory. Please only apply if you have been part of building a mobile product. Since our product is mobile only, it is essential that you understand implications on the front end.
