About ReadyOS

ReadyOS is building the coordination layer for rental property turnovers. Our platform connects operators and vendors, automates compliance, and simplifies payments—turning a fragmented process into a scalable system. We're a fast-moving early-stage startup with a focus on shipping, iteration, and smart automation.

Role Overview

We are seeking a
Solutions Architect
to design the full technical foundation of ReadyOS. The founder will provide
business concepts, high-level goals, and loose workflows
—it will be your responsibility to translate these into a
complete, actionable system architecture
that backend and frontend developers can execute without ambiguity.

You will create the
blueprint
: database schemas, API specifications, event catalogs, coding standards, backlog tickets, and runbooks. You will also make
technology selections
across the stack (languages, frameworks, infra) and embed safeguards against the common failure points of multi-tenant SaaS systems (auth leaks, concurrency, payment retries, data drift).

The Solutions Architect is the
decision-maker and translator
—turning ideas into concrete technical plans that enable a fast, secure, and scalable MVP build.

Responsibilities

• Translate
  business concepts and loose workflows
  into ERDs, API specs, event schemas, and backlog tickets.
• Own the
  end-to-end architecture
  , ensuring backend, frontend, and integrations form one coherent system.
• Define
  technical standards
  for code, naming, versioning, deployment, and testing.
• Select and justify the
  languages, frameworks, and infrastructure
  that best balance speed with long-term flexibility.
• Produce a
  developer-ready backlog
  with 1-day tickets and clear acceptance criteria.
• Anticipate and design for
  failure modes
  : tenant isolation, authZ leaks, concurrency conflicts, payment retries, file uploads, webhook duplication.
• Create
  runbooks
  for deployment, rollback, logging, monitoring, and incident response.
• Review early implementations to ensure fidelity to the architecture and resolve issues quickly.
• Mentor developers, enforcing standards and closing knowledge gaps.
• Work directly with the founder to ensure
  business intent maps cleanly into technical execution
  .

Requirements

• Proven experience
  as a Solutions Architect, Technical Lead, or Senior Engineer on a SaaS or marketplace platform.
• Hands-on expertise with:
• Backend:
  , NestJS (or comparable framework).
• Database:
  PostgreSQL (multi-tenant with RLS, migrations).
• APIs:
  OpenAPI, REST, webhooks, idempotency.
• Queues:
  Redis/BullMQ or equivalent.
• Auth:
  OIDC/JWTs, RBAC.
• Payments:
  Stripe Connect (escrow/payouts).
• Infra:
  Docker, CI/CD, cloud deployment (AWS ECS/Fargate or similar).
• Strong history of producing
  architecture artifacts
  (ERDs, specs, ADRs, runbooks) that dev teams could build from directly.
• Deep understanding of
  multi-tenant SaaS patterns
  and their risks.
• Fluent English communication skills—able to explain tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Experience building
  startup MVPs
  that scaled to production.
• Familiarity with
  Flutter/FlutterFlow
  for frontend integration planning.
• Knowledge of
  event-driven design
  (domain events, schema registries).
• Background in
  proptech, fintech, or compliance-heavy systems
  .
• Experience with
  observability stacks
  (OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus).

Why Join ReadyOS

• Turn high-level ideas into a real product blueprint.
• Work in a lean, execution-focused culture with direct founder collaboration.
• Competitive contract + milestone bonuses + equity option.

Compensation & Incentives

• Contract structure:
  Weekly base pay plus milestone bonuses (architecture, specs, backlog, runbooks).
• Weekly base: ₹15,000
• Per milestone: ₹20,000 (×4 = ₹800,000)
• 8 weeks: ₹120,000 base + ₹800,000 milestones =
  ₹200,000 total
• Milestones:

Architecture & Plan Iterations (ERD, OpenAPI, ADRs)

Backlog & Standards Delivery (tickets + coding rules)

Implementation Oversight & Risk Control (QA oversight, risk fixes)

Final Acceptance & Handover (runbooks, documentation, working demo)

• Bonus Equity:
  Up to 0.05% (~5,000 shares) for high-quality, on-time delivery.
• Future potential:
  Strong performers may transition into a longer-term or leadership role as the backend team expands, but no ongoing commitment is guaranteed at this point.
