Founding Engineer ( Full- Time ) Full Time

Founding Engineer

Full-time · Work from Office, Noida · 5 days a week

Reporting to Fractional CTO · Immediate Joiner Required

We are building a stealth, global product at the earliest stage. Core technical documentation is done, UI is ready, and development is kicking off now. This is a zero-to-one role with real ownership — we are looking for someone who can start immediately.

The stack is complex by design — but you won’t be starting from a blank page. Detailed technical specs, Figma-ready designs, and AI-assisted tooling mean the hard thinking is done. Your job is to execute it well and own it completely.

Current state

• Core technical documentation complete
• UI designs done
• Development kicking off now

What you’ll own

• End-to-end development of the first production release — global from day one
• FastAPI backend — user registration, admin workflows, JWT session management
• PostgreSQL on Supabase — triggers, enums, JSONB, pg_notify, CASCADE rules
• Celery async tasks — sitemap regeneration, SMS, token refresh, cron jobs
• AWS S3 + SNS — photo and document storage, OTP and SMS notifications
• Meta Graph API — Instagram OAuth integration and API implementation
• Next.js SSR with JSON-LD, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, llms.txt, Core Web Vitals optimisation
• Custom admin panel in React — verification queues, document review, status management
• Deployments, stability, and performance across Vercel, AWS CloudFront, and other platforms as we scale

• Experience with JSON-LD, sitemap generation, Core Web Vitals, robots.txt
• Comfortable using AI-assisted dev tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude) as part of a modern engineering workflow
• High ownership mindset, low ego
• Good judgment on scope and tradeoffs
• Based in or willing to relocate to Noida — immediate joiner preferred
