Location: Hybrid – Chennai/Bangalore (with work-from-home flexibility)

Employment Type: Full-time | Founding-member equity

  • Career-defining → Build and scale the core tech of a real-world Agentic AI product.
  • Fast-track to leadership → Grow into Head of Engineering as we scale.

🌍 About Straticent

Finance is the lifeblood of every business — the oxygen that keeps an organization alive. The hardest part? Leaders must make decisions every single day while balancing growth, profitability, and survival. Every product launch, every campaign, every hire comes at a cost. Founders and CFOs are constantly asking:

👉 Is this decision taking us closer to our goal, or pulling us away?

Planning, forecasting, and convincing investors to bet on the future isn’t just important — it’s existential. Yet today, this work is buried in manual spreadsheets, late nights, and long cycles of iteration that drain time and energy from teams.

We’ve lived through this pain (yup, “we were born in it, molded by it”) — and now we’re building the platform we always wished we had.

Straticent is building an autonomous, proactive finance platform powered by a proprietary intelligence layer, LLM interface, and natural language prompts — enabling CEOs and CFOs to make real-time, data-driven decisions without being bottlenecked by manual work.



🛠 Responsibilities

  • Build the AI intelligence layer integrating vector databases, LLMs, and agentic frameworks.
  • Architect and develop backend services and APIs.
  • Apply Object-Oriented Programming to design clean, maintainable systems.
  • Work with our CTO to set the technical direction, build and lead a team, and mentor engineers as we scale.



✅ Qualifications

Technical Skills

  • 4+ years experience, with at least two shipped platforms in real-world use.
  • Strong foundation in Computer Science fundamentals (algorithms, data structures, system design).
  • Expertise in backend development and scalable systems.
  • Proficiency in Next.js and Python.
  • Experience applying Object-Oriented Programming principles in production systems.
  • Bonus: Experience building vector databases or agentic AI frameworks.

Soft Skills

  • Hungry and eager to learn fast.
  • Comfortable with taking ownership, building and leading a team.
  • Able to work closely with others in a fast-moving environment.
