About the role
Responsibilities:
- You'll be the technical leader for India and one of the first five people on the ground.
- Building the India technical team from zero: deployment engineers, strategists, and the bench behind them
- Owning technical delivery for our Indian enterprise customers, hands-on
- Partnering with the GM in enterprise sales conversations, bringing the technical credibility that closes them
- Setting the technical bar and culture for the site
- Working with our global engineering team to shape what the platform needs for this market
Requirements:
- Have founded a company. Every technical leader who has done this well at our company has been a founder first. A founder-CTO who scaled something and is ready for the next chapter would be ideal.
- Went early on AI. You noticed something was shifting well before it was consensus and acted on it: research, a product, LLM work, and a degree. We don't expect years of agentic experience; nobody has it.
- Have built teams people want to join. Your network follows you. Hiring pace is the strongest predictor of whether a site succeeds, and that comes down to you.
- Know Indian enterprise. You've sold and delivered complex technical products to large Indian organizations.
- Are hands-on. You still build. You're the person the room turns to when nobody has the answer.
