We’re Hiring: Director of Engineering

Location: HSR Layout, Bengaluru
Work Schedule: 6 days/week (5 days in-office + Saturdays WFH)

We are looking for a hands-on Director of Engineering to lead the technical foundation and architecture of a cutting-edge AI, 3D, and XR platform. This role is ideal for a strong technical leader who enjoys solving complex engineering challenges while building scalable systems from the ground up.

This is not a pure management role — expect to spend 50–60% of your time writing code, solving deep technical problems, and owning mission-critical systems.

As the company scales, this role is designed to transition into a CTO position, taking ownership of long-term technical vision and strategy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and drive the technical architecture of AI, 3D, and XR platforms
  • Lead development of scalable, high-performance systems
  • Contribute hands-on to coding, debugging, and system optimization
  • Build and mentor high-performing engineering teams
  • Collaborate closely with founders and leadership on product strategy
  • Establish engineering best practices, processes, and culture
  • Ensure reliability, scalability, and performance of production systems

Mandatory Requirements

  • 9+ years of engineering experience
  • 3–4 years in technical leadership roles
  • Strong hands-on expertise in React / Next.js
  • Backend experience with Node.js or Python
  • Solid experience working with AWS
  • Proven experience designing scalable architectures
  • Experience deploying AI/ML solutions
  • Strong knowledge of 3D graphics / WebGL / Three.js
  • Background from SaaS / Software / IT Services startups or scale-up companies only

Highly Desirable Skills

  • AI/ML deployment experience (Computer Vision, Generative AI, 3D reconstruction)
  • Experience with real-time systems and rendering optimizations
  • Exposure to large-scale pipelines
  • Background in B2B SaaS, XR, Gaming, or Immersive Tech
  • Experience scaling engineering teams from 5 to 20+ engineers
  • Open-source contributions or technical content creation
  • Experience working closely with founders or executive leadership
