Founding Engineer
Hybrid (Bengaluru)INR 7500k - INR 15000kFull-timePosted 1mo ago
About the role
Tsenta is building an AI-driven hiring platform aimed at helping candidates, with the founding team seeking the first full-time engineer to ship product quickly, talk to users, and define the roadmap.
Responsibilities
- Talk to users. Constantly. We spend a large share of every week on calls with people in the middle of a job search, and you will too. This is not a role where someone else gathers feedback and files it. You hear the problem, you ship the fix or the feature, you call the person back.
- Define your own roadmap. You won’t be handed a spec. You’ll use your own product sense to decide what to build, scope it down to an MVP, ship it, and see whether it moved anything.
- Ship to production in your first week and own a user-visible metric within your first month.
- Set the engineering bar for everyone we hire after you.
- Based in Bengaluru or willing to relocate. Onsite.
Qualifications
- You are highly technical: preferred you have prior experience shipping production software by real users as a software engineer at a tech company or startup.
- Strong TypeScript and real backend depth. You don’t need our exact stack. You do need to have owned a production, queue-driven system end to end.
- LLMs past the tutorial stage. Tool use, retrieval, evals, and the failure modes.
- A high bar on output. Speed is the only advantage we have over the companies with 400 engineers. But shipping fast and shipping sloppy are different things, and we want both the speed and the obsession with detail.
- You actually want to talk to users.
- Location: Bengaluru or willing to relocate. Onsite.
