The company was started with a clear focus on high-tech R&D that fuels innovation and leads to products which can capture the global market and become a cornerstone of the country’s economy.
With more than 100+ installations across the Indian Subcontinent, Middle East, and Southeast Asia, the company is today a de-facto leader in developing and deploying AI for National and Cyber Security.

Role Overview The Manager – Founder’s Office (Technology) is a high-trust, high-impact strategic role designed for an exceptionally sharp technologist who will work directly alongside the CTO. This person will function as a force-multiplier for the CTO — accelerating technical decision-making, removing engineering blockers, and owning critical initiatives across Product Engineering, AI/ML, Data Platforms, Architecture, and Security.
This is not an administrative role. You will be in the room where it happens — participating in architecture and technical strategy discussions, synthesising complex technical information into executive-grade recommendations, and driving outcomes that directly shape the technology trajectory of the company.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Enablement & CTO Support ● Shadow the CTO across architecture reviews, engineering leadership meetings, client technical discussions, and vendor/partner evaluations — synthesising takeaways into clear action plans ● Serve as the CTO’s analytical and operational backbone: research, benchmark, and translate emerging technology trends into actionable engineering strategy ● Prepare high-quality technical strategy decks, RFC reviews, and architecture presentations independently ● Identify technical bottlenecks, tech debt, and scaling risks, and proactively develop structured, sustainable solutions before they escalate Engineering & Product Delivery ● Actively support the CTO across sprint planning, roadmap prioritisation, and release cycles — from backlog grooming to go-live readiness ● Own and track engineering delivery metrics (velocity, uptime, defect rates, deployment frequency) in collaboration with Engineering Managers; surface data-backed insights to improve delivery efficiency ● Lead or co-lead technical RFP responses, solution architecture documents, and proof-of-concepts for new products or key accounts ● Coordinate closely with Product, Engineering, DevOps, QA, and Security teams to align on technology roadmap milestones Technology Planning & Roadmap Execution ● Co-create the 1-year and 3-year technology roadmap with the CTO — covering platform architecture, AI/ML capability build-out, infrastructure scaling, and security posture ● Drive engineering OKR/KPI tracking across functions; flag deviations and recommend corrective actions with urgency ● Lead special projects and cross-functional technical initiatives from problem framing through to outcome delivery ● Conduct competitive technology analysis, tooling/vendor benchmarks, and build-vs-buy studies to inform strategic technical pivots; research product roadmaps and run competitor mapping to keep the company's technology positioning ahead of the market Stakeholder & Communication Management ● Act as a trusted liaison between the CTO and internal stakeholders, including other CXOs — ensuring clarity, alignment, and follow-through on technical commitments ● Own and maintain executive dashboards consolidating engineering, product, and business metrics for the CTO and other CXOs, and conduct structured reviews to track progress against roadmap commitments ● Represent the CTO in select internal reviews, client technical discussions, or partner/integration discussions when required ● Draft and review critical technical documentation, architecture proposals, RFCs, and technology strategy memos Requirements Qualifications & Requirements Educational Qualification (Mandatory — one of the following) ● Option A: B.
Tech in Computer Science (or related field) from a premium institute — IIT, NIT, or IIIT ● Option B: B.Tech in CS/related field from a premium engineering institute + M.Tech / MS in Computer Science, AI/ML, or a related technical discipline (preferred, not mandatory) Work Experience ● Total experience: 3–5 years post B.
Tech ● Minimum 2–3 years in a Founder’s Office, CTO’s office, Technical Program Management, or Solutions Architecture role ● Hands-on software engineering experience (has shipped production code) strongly preferred ● Prior exposure to AI/ML, data platforms, cybersecurity, or enterprise SaaS products is strongly preferred Skills & Competencies ● Exceptional first-principles thinking and structured problem-solving ability (case-interview + system-design calibre) ● Strong technical foundation: system design, distributed systems, cloud architecture (AWS/Azure/GCP), and modern data stores (SQL/NoSQL/vector/graph) ● Deep understanding of AI and Analytics products — working knowledge of AI/ML, LLMs, and data engineering pipelines are a strong plus ● Ability to read and review code, architecture diagrams, and technical specs; hands-on scripting (Python) preferred ● Strong technical communication — able to translate deep technical concepts for both engineers and business stakeholders ● Data-driven mindset: comfortable with engineering dashboards, metrics, and analytics tools ● Ability to move fast, handle ambiguity, and deliver under pressure with minimal supervision ● High emotional intelligence and discretion — you will handle confidential technical and product information ● Willingness to roll up sleeves and execute — review code, sit in architecture reviews, not just advise Benefits What Makes You Stand Out ● You’ve directly supported a CTO/VP Engineering through a scaling moment, major re-architecture, or technical crisis ● You’ve personally shipped or significantly contributed to a technical product or platform end-to-end ● You think in systems — not just tasks — and can see around technical corners ● You are equally comfortable in an architecture whiteboard session and a boardroom ● You have an instinct for what matters technically and ruthlessly prioritize accordingly
