Co-founding CTO Product Startup Founded By Iit Iim

**Co-founding CTO | **HR Tech Product Startup founded by IIT IIM Alum

Greetings

Please note that this is going to be **mostly an equity based role**. If you are looking out purely with a short term intent of compensation revision, then this is NOT the right opportunity for you.

However, If you feel that itch consistently that your potential is not being leveraged completely in your current job, deep down you feel that you are meant for a much bigger scope of what you are doing currently and you are seeking out really challenging and intellectually stimulating opportunities with a long term perspective then this is probably one of the best opportunities for you.

We are passionately building a **product in the HRTech space **and hiring future tech leaders who can synergize with our vision to bring far-reaching changes in the recruitment space. This product is an outcome of our insights into the recruitment space with 20 years of experience in recruiting teams into our respective organizations.

**Founding team includes IIT IIM alumni **with experience in scaling up multiple Startups as well as well-established companies.

In the same context, we are looking for a Tech leader who shares our vision and passion to create something from the ground up. Someone who is as invested as we all are and is ready to take the leap of faith with us to work relentlessly towards creating that legacy.

Building a technology leadership team that can expertly manage their own teams, develop a strong and focused culture, and be responsive to the organisation’s needs

In terms of exposure and personal traits that we would want in our tech leader

Prior CTO or Head of Engineering experience for a start-up, preferably with a track record of one or more successful exits

**Experience in early stage startup **with an exposure to multi faceted role

Exposure in designing the software architecture and personally building digital products from early stage through to scaling and maturity

Willingness to learn new languages, tools and methodologies

Willingness to be a part of a fast-paced and creative learning environment

Long term strategic intent while designing and maintaining the tech architecture from the perspective of implementation, scale, performance, usability

Should be able to not just lead but also nurture and inspire the team to put in their best foot forward

Absolute clarity of thought with analytical bent of mind that relies on data driven analysis rather than just the instinct

Being a self starter with a problem solving attitude is a must who flourishes in ambiguity

Should be curious enough to challenge things in AS-IS mode, diligent enough to come up with a foolproof roadmap and persistent enough to implement the same

Above all, the person should be able to resonate with the founders’ vision pertaining to the team culture. We strive to create a team where everyone is ultra charged up and super excited to work towards a common goal. Not just the success but the overall existence of any team or entity depends on their people. To summarise, a company is as good as its employees. So we want an effective leader and team-player who **knows how to hire and manage the right talent to scale the Engineering team**.

Bare minimum technical expertise that is required for this role is

Strong CS fundamentals and experience in **Python, MongoDB, and React**

Hands-on experience with **AWS services**

Keeping these factors in mind, we have intentionally put in a broad spectrum in terms of experience range. Anyone in the bracket of **5 to 10 years of experience **who matches our criteria can be a good fit.
