Lead the engineering team
-
Manage three people: Saloni, one intern, and one junior engineer still to be hired.
-
Set the standards for how we ship — what gets reviewed, what gets tested, what never reaches production unchecked.
-
Your team handles day-to-day reliability and tooling; you own whether it holds up.
Own the systems you build
-
You also integrate with existing builds: NetMind (Contacts tool – Lovable, Supabase, MCP server wired into Claude) and the Acomodo surfaces – acomodomap.com, Connect and the Supply Site.
-
These are used in live outreach and partner conversations.
Build tools that compound
-
Small, high-leverage internal tools that make employees measurably faster – counsellor dashboards, document chasing, branch reporting, lease and availability tracking.
What we are looking for
-
2-4 years building and shipping software that real users depend on.
-
Experience mentoring or leading at least one other developer.
-
Genuinely fast with AI-assisted development (Claude, Cursur, Lovable or equivalent) and able to read, debug and fix what comes out of it.
-
Comfortable across that stack: front end, API’s, databases (Postgres / Supabase), deployment.
-
Have integrated with systems you did not build – CRMs, spreadsheets, third-party APIs, processes held together by Whatsapp.
-
Willing to study existing workflow before proposing anything.
-
Able to explain a technical decision in one page to a non-technical reader.
Great to have
-
Education, study-abroad, or another high-volume, document-heavy, operations business.
-
Prior work embedded withy business or operations teams rather than inside a product org.
-
MCP servers and agentic tooling.
-
Exposure to GDPR or UK/EU data handling.
How we work
-
In-office in Mumbai, with regular time inside Edwise branches and occasional travel.
-
Direct reporting to the founder.
