Job Description
Vice President of Engineering
What You’ll Do
• Lead and grow the engineering team across backend, frontend, QA, and DevOps.
• Stay hands-on with code and design discussions (~25% of your time).
• Drive technical execution: plan releases, ensure quality, and keep projects moving smoothly.
• Build engineering culture and structure — processes, ownership, and accountability.
• Collaborate with the CTO and product teams to balance speed and technical depth.
• Focus on scalability, performance, and security as the platform grows.
• Hire, coach, and mentor engineers who thrive in startup environments.
What We’re Looking For
• 10–12 years of total engineering experience.
• At least 5 years in an Engineering Manager or higher role leading product development teams.
• Proven track record of scaling both teams and SaaS platforms in a startup or fast-moving setup.
• Solid hands-on background — comfortable jumping into architecture or debugging when needed.
• Deep experience with modern cloud environments (AWS preferred) and SaaS architectures.
• Must be based in Bengaluru (non-negotiable).
Nice to Have
• Exposure to AI or machine learning workflows.
• Experience in regulated or compliance-heavy software environments.
• Familiarity with standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2, or similar frameworks.
