Hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer to own our core product end-to-end and lead a small team of engineers as we scale. You'll work closely with the founder on product direction, set technical standards, and ship features that reach farmers at scale. This is a hands-on leadership role, and you'll still write code daily while mentoring and unblocking the team. Candidates with a background or roots in agriculture or a rural environment are preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Own architecture and delivery across the stack — backend services, web, and APIs powering our mobile and web products.
• Lead, mentor, and manage a small team of SDEs: code reviews, technical direction, sprint planning, and hiring.
• Partner directly with the founder to translate product goals into technical roadmaps and shippable releases.
• Build and integrate AI-native features (LLM-powered tooling, recommendation/automation systems) into the product.
• Design scalable, reliable backend systems and REST APIs; handle data modeling, caching, and performance at the scale of 1 lakh+ users.
• Set up and maintain CI/CD, deployment, and basic observability/monitoring.
• Make pragmatic build-vs-buy and architecture decisions appropriate to a resource-conscious startup.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of full-stack engineering experience, ideally at an early-stage startup.
• Proven experience leading or managing a team of software engineers.
• Strong across both backend and frontend/web; comfortable owning a feature from database to UI.
• Hands-on experience integrating AI/LLM APIs or building AI-driven features ("AI-native" comfort).
• Solid grasp of REST API design, data modeling, state management, and performance optimization.
• Experience shipping and operating production level mobile applications at scale.
• Proficient with Git and modern CI/CD workflows.
• Based in or willing to work from Nagpur.
