Read this carefully - the instructions to apply are in the job description; if you hit the apply button; we will most likely never see your application.

Some context on the role:

This is not a "developer role" buried inside a 50-person engineering team. You'll be one of our first 3 engineering hires & work closely with us (founders) in shaping the product. This is a full-stack product engineering role. You'll touch everything that gets the product in customers' hands.

We enjoy working with people who have a chip on their shoulder - people who treat work as identity and expression & have a strong bias for action. If you plan on starting your own company in the next few years, think of this as your rehearsal. You'll build a product, ship it to real customers, watch them break it, fix it, then make it 10x better

What We're Building

- We are building Cursor for digital marketing teams (think teams running ads on Meta, Google, etc.).
- We launched our first feature 4 months ago
- Already used by a few big advertisers in India & US.
- Collectively, our users spend $10M+ per month on ads.
- 3 of the top 20 apps on India's Play Store use us.

About the Founding Team

Both of us have spent a decade each in AI & Marketing. Meher, who leads engineering spent 10 years building AI products @ DigitalOcean, InMobi, Observe.ai. Ankit, who leads business & product spent nearly a decade in growth teams @ unicorns like CRED, PocketFM & LeapFinance.

What You'll Do

- Own end-to-end product features: backend logic, APIs, and front-end experiences.
- Design and build robust integrations with Meta, Google, and other ad platforms.
- Work closely with founders to translate customer pain points into technical solutions.
- Write code that balances speed and reliability — ship fast, but don't break trust.
- Help evolve our system architecture to support scale (multi-tenant SaaS, growing workloads).
- Jump between backend, frontend, and ops - whatever it takes to get the job done.

What We're Looking For

- 1–3 years of experience in software engineering
- Comfortable working across the stack (we're using React + TypeScript + Python)
- Experience with APIs, integrations, and data-heavy workflows.
- Ability to design systems that handle messy real-world edge cases.
- Strong product sense - you think about impact on customers, not just code quality. Ideally: shipped 0→1 products before or worked at a startup.

Instructions to Apply

LinkedIn applications are noisy; we don't actively monitor Linkedin applications - In order to apply, drop an email to team@getsoma.ai with the role name in the subject line.

Do share these two thing in the email -

- Your Resume / GitHub Link (anything that gives us context on your skillset)
- Tell us about something you built outside of work / college to solve a problem in your own life. What was the problem, what did you build, and how did it work out?

We respond to everyone who takes the effort to apply the right way within 72 hours.
