We're hiring Drumbeat's first Senior Product Engineer to help us go to the next level.

We're not first-timers. We're the team that founded Phrasee in 2015 and grew it to more than 100 people, customers around the world, and a >$100m exit. Lots of people made lots of money, including the founding employees.

With Drumbeat, our plan is to do it all again… except this time, bigger and faster.

What is Drumbeat?

Drumbeat (www.drumbeat.com) predicts your next best action on LinkedIn, then copilots your team to turn invites, DMs and posts into pipeline.

We launched in September 2025 and have raised a £2m seed round led by a well-known VC. We're building the core team around our cofounders (Parry, Jonny and Dan) and Mohit, our Engineering Manager and Phrasee's first engineer. You'll report to Mohit.

What you'll be building on

• Setlist: a short, ordered list of the right things for each person to do today.
• Radar: predicts who each rep should connect with now, not everybody who matches a job-title search.
• Riff and AuthorDNA: help people find something worth saying, and write it in their own voice.
• Campaigns, Conversations, Backstage and Analytics: team-wide activity, replies, company knowledge and reporting.

Under the hood: Django and PostgreSQL, background jobs on Redis, LLM workflows, statistical models that learn what works, and integrations with LinkedIn and CRMs. A lot of our code is written with AI coding agents, inside a strict engineering process.

How we think about engineering

1. "Human-first AI, not AI-first humans." AI agents write a lot of our code. They don't make our decisions. We want someone super smart without AI, and even smarter with it, who knows when the machine is blowing smoke.
2. "Spend 55 minutes on the problem." Understand what's actually wrong before you fix it.
3. "Fix the class, not the instance." Every bug is an example of something bigger. Find the pattern, and fix it everywhere it lives.
4. "A check must be able to fail." A test you've never seen go red proves nothing.
5. "You don't need a Ferrari to drive to the supermarket." Simplicity over cleverness, every time.

What you'll own

1. Technical architecture. How Drumbeat is built, so it holds up as we add customers, features and integrations.
2. Shipping features end to end. From Parry and Mohit's briefs, and turning Parry's MVPs into production features.
3. Foundations. Scale, resilience (safe retries, timeouts and fallbacks when outside services wobble), cost and refactoring.
4. What you build. Once it's live, it's yours: you maintain it and fix it.
5. The hardest bugs. The ones nobody else can crack.

Your experience

• 8+ years as an engineer, at a product company, preferably B2B SaaS.
• Time at a smaller company, so you know how to get stuck in.
• You've owned a system in production, not just added features to one.
• Senior Python and Django: Postgres, background jobs, correctness in production.
• System architecture and refactoring.
• You direct AI coding agents well, and explain trade-offs in plain English to people who aren't engineers.

Where you'll work

Delhi / NCR. You'll be in our Delhi office some days each week, alongside Mohit.

Pay

₹40–65 lakh CTC, plus equity that vests as the company hits revenue milestones.

This is probably not a job for most people. Don't apply if you want an easy job. Apply if you want a hard one: lots of responsibility, very little bureaucracy, plenty to figure out, and a genuine chance to shape what this company becomes… and make a bunch of money as a result.

If that sounds exciting, LET'S PARTY.

• AI-Augmented Development: Optimise AI tool usage across teams in your area, train engineers on AI-augmented and agentic engineering workflows, evaluate new AI development tools, and establish practices that balance AI speed with verification rigour.
• Scale: Design complex multi-component systems end-to-end, evaluate architectural options for large initiatives across teams, guide technical decisions or your area, and mentor engineers on architecture. Create debt reduction strategies across teams, influence roadmap decisions to include debt work, and teach engineers when to accept debt for speed versus when to invest in quality.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or related field with 7+ years of relevant professional experience.
• Deep production experience with Python and JavaScript/TypeScript across backend and frontend, with demonstrated ability to work comfortably across the full stack.
• Strong experience with modern frontend frameworks (such as Next.js or React) and backend API development.
• Extensive experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred; Azure or GCP also valued), including infrastructure-as-code tools (such as CloudFormation or Terraform).
• Deep Working knowledge of multiple database paradigms, including relational databases (such as PostgreSQL), document databases, and key-value stores (such as Redis), with the ability to select the right storage technology for each problem.
• Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines (such as GitHub Actions), containerisation, and production deployment strategies.
• Demonstrable fluency with AI coding tools (such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar) and proven ability to design agentic engineering workflows and train teams on AI-augmented development practices.
• Hands-on experience architecting production generative AI applications (LLM integrations, vector databases, RAG systems, evaluation pipelines) is essential.
• Experience leading technical initiatives across multiple teams, mentoring engineers, and establishing engineering practices is required.
• Experience navigating ambiguous problem spaces, working directly with business stakeholders and end users, and shipping working solutions rapidly is required.
• Experience in an embedded, forward-deployed, or consulting-style engineering model is a strong plus.

• Must have exceptional communication skills and demonstrated ability to influence at senior levels. This role requires comfort leading across ambiguous environments, building trust-based relationships with commercial stakeholders at all levels, developing junior and mid-level engineers, and making strategic decisions that balance delivery speed with architectural integrity. You will shape engineering practices across your area and be expected to lead multi-team initiatives.
