- *Company:** NestorBird Pvt Ltd
- *Location:** On\-site, Mohali
- *Reports to:** CTO Team**:** Engineering (\~15\+ engineers across 3 product lines)
NestorBird is a **vertical SAAS platform** company creating industry\-specific operating systems for retail, manufacturing, healthcare, social impact, and go\-to\-market strategy.
Our products deploy globally via a growing partner alliance, helping businesses shift from fragmented workflows to unified, compliance\-ready operations.
The CTO needs a senior technical partner on the floor, someone who can take an initiative (architecture decision, AI feature rollout, framework upgrade, hiring bar, code\-quality push) and drive it through the team without constant supervision. Equal parts hands\-on engineer, mentor, and unblocker.
- **Drive engineering initiatives** assigned by the CTO — break them into actionable plans, get buy\-in from product leads, and ship to completion.
- **Unblock developers** daily — code reviews, design discussions, debugging tough issues, making the call when teams are stuck.
- **Run internal trainings** — Python depth, framework patterns (Django/Frappe), system design, code\-review standards, AI tooling adoption (Claude Code, MCP, agentic workflows).
- **Raise the engineering bar** — define standards, review architectures, push for documentation discipline (we use Confluence heavily).
- **Hands\-on coding** — 40–50% of your time. We expect you to write production code on critical paths, not just review it.
- **Collaborate with leads** — Engineering Lead, DevOps Lead, and product owners across all products.
- **6\+ years** in software engineering, with **2\+ years leading a team** (formal or informal).
- **Strong Python** — you can design, debug, and refactor non\-trivial Python systems without help. Comfortable with async, ORM internals, performance profiling, testing.
- **Production experience with web frameworks** — Django, FastAPI, or Flask in real systems serving real users.
- **System design instincts** — can reason about databases, caching, queues, API design, multi\-tenancy.
- **Mentorship track record** — you have actually trained junior/mid engineers and can point to people who grew under you.
- **Communication** — clear written and verbal; can run a meeting, write a design doc, and disagree respectfully with the CTO when needed.
- **Frappe / ERPNext** experience — we run several products on this stack.
- **AI / LLM engineering** — prompt engineering, RAG, MCP servers, agentic systems, or having shipped AI features in production.
- **AWS** — S3, CloudFront, EC2, RDS at production scale.
- Exposure to **multi\-product or platform engineering** environments.
- Open\-source contributions, technical writing, or community involvement.
- Direct working relationship with the CTO/founder; visibility into product and business decisions across five SaaS lines.
- Real autonomy on technical direction — this is not a "manage tickets" role.
- Budget and mandate to introduce tooling, AI workflows, and engineering practices you believe in.
- Compensation commensurate with experience; equity discussion open for the right candidate.
