Work directly with clients on requirements and delivery

Progress from engineer to partner, managing your own P&L

Collaborate with a team that ships code surviving Friday deploys

We're Looking For:

Strong mathematical foundations and first-principles thinking

High agency - you see problems and ship solutions without waiting for tickets

Direct communication style - you push back with data

Production mindset with emphasis on testing and monitoring

Humility paired with ambition and hunger to grow

Ability to write clearly and think systematically

Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in any engineering discipline (or equivalent experience)

Strong programming fundamentals

Comfort with back-of-envelope calculations

Willingness to work from our Bangalore office 5 days/week

Nice to Have:

Experience with Python (but we'll teach you)
