Head of Engineering

Mangalore, Karnataka, India Propkee Full time

About the Role

We're an ambitious, AI-native company in prop-commerce. The next 12–18 months are about turning hard, ambiguous problems into robust systems with real users. We're looking for a Founding Engineer who thrives on building end-to-end: designing data models, writing production code, and shipping fast.

This is a hands-on IC role (no people management at the start). You'll be the technical bedrock - building the first versions of complex systems, then scaling them into reusable patterns as the team grows.

What You'll Build in the First 6 Months

  • AI platform capabilities: Prompt orchestration, retrieval, function calling, streaming UX, and evaluation guardrails.
  • High-throughput content processing: Ingestion pipelines, storage, delivery, with observability + cost control.
  • Identity, privacy, and trust: Consent-driven flows, signed tokens, rate limits, audit trails, abuse prevention.
  • Data platform: Normalize external data, model entities/relationships, and expose clean APIs.
  • Product surfaces: Ship Flutter apps (buyer/seller) and ReactJS dashboards with reliability and performance budgets.
  • Operational excellence: Monitoring, alerting, automated tests, incident playbooks, and a sane release cadence.

Tech Stack

  • Backend: Java 23, Spring Boot 3, Python
  • Database: PostgreSQL
  • App: Flutter
  • Admin & Seller Web: ReactJS
  • Cloud: AWS (EC2, RDS, S3)
  • AI Tooling: OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, vector search (pgvector/Pinecone), LangChain/LlamaIndex (pragmatic, not bloated).

Must-Haves

  • 6 - 10+ years building production systems as the primary builder. Exceptional earlier-career builders welcome with proof.
  • Hands-on Java + Spring Boot experience, plus comfort with Python.
  • Exposure to Flutter or ReactJS in production.
  • Strong systems thinking: data models, performance budgets, failure handling.
  • Security & privacy instincts: PII handling, consent flows, audit trails.
  • Excellent written communication: crisp docs, READMEs, and runbooks.

Nice-to-Haves

  • AI production experience (retrieval, evals, streaming, failure handling).
  • Media processing at scale (transcoding, delivery, captioning).
  • Marketplace/fintech trust & safety (risk signals, abuse prevention).
  • Growth engineering (instrumentation, experimentation).

What You Won't Do (to start)

  • Manage people - this is a builder role first.
  • Architect by slide deck - your design docs end in merged PRs and measurable user impact.

Career Path & Title

Start as Head of Engineering. Over time, choose your track:

  • Principal/Distinguished IC (maximizing technical leverage), or
  • CTO/VP Eng (when a team exists and needs leadership).

Compensation

Competitive salary + meaningful ESOP. We are biased toward outsized ownership for outsized builders. 4-year vest (1-year cliff); accelerated vesting possible for milestone-based outcomes.
