As an early-stage startup, every feature, experiment, and decision matters. We value ownership, curiosity & problem-solving.
Our hiring process goes beyond resumes and interviews. We look for people who can think independently, solve real problems, and collaborate effectively.
You'll work directly with the Founders and play a key role in shaping the future of the product.
About the Role
We're looking for an engineer who enjoys building complete products—not just writing code.
You'll own features from concept to production, working across product, engineering, infrastructure, and AI. As one of our first engineers, you'll help establish the technical foundation for theName.app and influence many of the key technical decisions.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and ship production-ready features end-to-end
- Work across frontend, backend, mobile, APIs, databases, infrastructure, AI integrations, security, and deployment
- Collaborate on product decisions and architecture
- Improve performance, scalability, reliability, and developer experience
- Recommend better technical approaches and continuously improve the platform
Preferred Skills
Experience with some of the following technologies:
- React / Next.js
- TypeScript
- Node.js
- iOS (Swift)
- Android (Kotlin)
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- ScyllaDB
- REST / GraphQL APIs
- Docker
- Git
- Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar)
Good understanding of:
- Scalable and distributed systems
- System design & architecture
- Authentication & security
- Performance optimization
- Observability & monitoring
- AI integrations and modern backend architectures
Startup experience is a plus, but not required.
What We're Looking For
Someone who:
- Takes ownership
- Builds with users in mind
- Thinks beyond assigned tasks
- Learns quickly
- Writes clean, maintainable code
- Solves problems independently
- Is comfortable working across the stack and adapting as the product evolves
How This Role Works
- Report directly to the Founders
- High ownership and technical influence
- Fast execution with minimal bureaucracy
- Opportunity to shape both product and engineering culture from day one
Why Join
As one of the first engineers at theName.app , you'll help build an AI-native consumer platform spanning:
- AI & intelligent assistants
- Communities & social experiences
- Business tools
- Recommendation systems
- Trust & moderation infrastructure
- Real-time services
- Scalable platform architecture
This is an opportunity to influence both the product and the technology from the earliest stages.
Final Note
We're not looking for someone who simply completes assigned tasks.
We're looking for someone who wants to help build a product—from its earliest versions to a platform used by millions.
Pay: ₹25,000.00 - ₹40,000.00 per month
