About EduBridge

EduBridge Learning is one of India's largest workforce skilling companies. Our Product & Learning Solutions team builds the products that power learning and careers at scale: an AI-powered language learning app, a job readiness assessment platform, an international careers platform and career services tools. Our learners are young people starting their careers across India.

Why This Role

We are building a new AI-powered product from the ground up, launching in 2027. You will lead its development from the first line of code to paying customers.

• Own the architecture and the engineering decisions from day one.

• Write the core code yourself, and set the standard the rest of the team follows.

• Mentor and grow the junior developers who build alongside you.

• Work directly with the President of Product & Learning Solutions and the product team.

What You Will Do

1. Lead the build

• Design the architecture: services, data model, APIs, environments and deployment.

• Turn product requirements into a technical plan with honest estimates, and flag risks early.

• Write and own the core backend, frontend and integration code.

• Take the product to its first release, then ship a release every month after launch.

2. Set engineering standards

• Run code reviews on every change before it is merged.

• Set up testing, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and clear documentation.

• Build multi-tenant architecture with row-level security, so every customer organisation sees only its own data.

• Make security and data privacy, including DPDP compliance, part of every release.

3. Mentor and grow the team

• Guide junior developers and interns through pairing, reviews and clear feedback.

• Break work into tasks they can own, and help them become independent.

• Build a team culture where quality, ownership and shipping on time are normal.

4. AI and integrations

• Integrate large language models, speech and voice APIs, and machine learning models into production features.

• Build AI features that are reliable, measurable and affordable to run at scale.

• Integrate third-party systems and data sources cleanly and securely.

5. Work closely with product

• Work in two-week sprints with weekly demos, tracked in Linear.

• Present progress at our weekly product reviews, straight from the work.

• Partner with design and product to make sure what we ship is what users need.

Your First 90 Days

• By day 30: understand the product requirements and our current systems, and agree the architecture and engineering plan.

• By day 60: core modules running in a staging environment, with code review, testing and deployment standards in place for the team.

• By day 90: the first release live, and junior developers shipping features independently under your review.

What You Must Have

• 8 to 12 years of full-stack development experience.

• At least 3 years leading development as a tech lead or lead engineer, including mentoring developers.

• Built at least one product from scratch to production, and scaled it with real users.

• Strong backend skills in Node.js or Python, and frontend skills in React or Next.js.

• Deep PostgreSQL experience: schema design, performance and row-level security. Supabase or an equivalent platform is a plus.

• Experience designing multi-tenant SaaS architecture.

• Hands-on experience integrating AI or LLM APIs into live products.

• Strong grip on security, CI/CD, cloud deployment and production monitoring.

• Clear communication with product, leadership and junior engineers.

Good To Have

• Experience in EdTech, HRTech or B2B SaaS.

• Speech, voice or real-time audio integrations.

• Mobile experience with React Native or Flutter.

• Working knowledge of data privacy rules such as India's DPDP Act.

• Analytics dashboards and reporting for business users.

• Experience with Linear, Jira or similar sprint tools.
