- Bangalore, Karnataka
- Permanent
- Full-time
- The 10-Year Veteran: You have spent a decade at the intersection of Product, Engineering, and Operations. You've seen the shift from SaaS to Mobile, and you're now leading the shift to AI.
- A Technical Polymath: You likely started in Engineering and moved into Product/Ops. You can read a PR, query a vector database, and build a LangChain/AutoGPT-style pipeline without hand-holding.
- Systems Thinker: You don't solve problems with more headcount; you solve them with better code and smarter agents.
- Bangalore Ecosystem Leader: You understand how to build and mentor high-performance technical teams in India's premier tech hub.
- 10+ years of experience in Product Operations, Technical Program Management, or Engineering Leadership (at least 4 years in a leadership role).
- Deep Automation Stack: Expert-level proficiency in Python or TypeScript. Experience with AI-native development environments and building with LLM APIs is non-negotiable.
- Marketplace Experience: Proven track record in high-frequency marketplaces (e.g., Ride-sharing, Food Delivery, Freelance platforms) where real-time matching is critical.
- Agentic Portfolio: You must be able to demonstrate (via GitHub or a portfolio) actual agents or autonomous workflows you have built-not just "GPT wrappers."
