Requirements What You Will Own

  • • Lead the entire engineering organization, making key architecture decisions, shaping the engineering culture, and ensuring successful delivery

  • • Develop and deploy the core platform components, including data ingestion, evaluation pipelines, real-time observability, and the developer-facing API layer

  • • Be actively involved in hands-on engineering—this role is not limited to meetings; you will write code, review pull requests, and maintain close interaction with the system

  • • Take complete ownership of the engineering architecture, data pipelines, APIs, infrastructure, and the evaluation engine central to the product

  • • Collaborate closely with the founders and the engineering team to convert product vision into concrete engineering plans and decisions

  • • Deliver robust, scalable systems that our customers rely on in production environments

  • What We Are Looking For Technical Background

  • • 4 to 6 years of software engineering experience, with significant exposure to early-stage startup environments

  • • Proven experience working with LLM pipelines, prompt engineering, and AI evaluation or observability tools

  • • Knowledge of voice agent infrastructure is highly advantageous, including STT/TTS, telephony integrations (such as Twilio, Vonage, Plivo, Telnyx), real-time audio processing, or conversational AI platforms

  • • Strong fundamentals in backend and systems engineering: you have managed deployment, debugging, and infrastructure independently, without relying on a dedicated platform team

  • • Expertise in AWS infrastructure components such as EventBridge, ECS, EKS, RDS, Lambda, and others

  • • Proficiency in Python frameworks like FastAPI or Flask, and/or TypeScript/Node.js

  • • Comfortable working with cloud infrastructure, including AWS or GCP, and CI/CD pipelines

  • Product Thinking

  • • You participate in product decisions from the outset, providing clear perspectives rather than merely executing tasks

  • • You have experience pushing back on scope or approaches when engineering realities demand it, with a track record that gives you confidence in such judgment

  • • You focus on the end-user experience, not just the technical system diagrams

  • Startup Orientation

  • • You have built and shipped products under real-world constraints, including limited resources, changing requirements, and without the support of specialized teams

  • • Exhibit high agency and ownership: you are the person who figures things out in uncharted situations and take responsibility for your deliverables

  • • You are a proactive engineer who seeks solutions rather than waiting for full clarity

  • • You are comfortable amplifying impact before the team grows large enough to require formal management

  • • Prior experience in B2B SaaS, preferably selling into enterprise or mid-market segments

  • Culture and Collaboration

  • • SuperBryn's team includes diverse individuals from across India, and we value a team member who thoughtfully adapts in communication style, collaboration, and feedback exchange

  • • Low ego and high standards: you prioritize delivering the right solution over personal recognition

  • • You provide candid, constructive feedback and expect the same in return

  • Bonus Points

  • • Experience developing observability, analytics, or developer tooling products, especially within AI

  • • Worked with voice AI infrastructures such as Vapi, Retell, Livekit, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, or Twilio

  • • Familiarity with OpenTelemetry or other observability tooling

  • • Previous experience as a founding engineer or an early engineering hire
