Principal Founding Engineer

About Verispace :

Verispace is building the infrastructure layer for India’s rental economy — enabling automated KYC, fraud detection, and alternative credit intelligence for high-value rental transactions.

Cars, electronics, homes, equipment and other assets are rented daily in India, yet the ecosystem remains fragmented and vulnerable to fraud, theft and default. We’re building a secure and scalable identity and trust framework to solve this at a national level.

Our MVP is live, early demand signals are strong, and we’re now moving into execution and scale. As one of the first engineers, you’ll work with a clean slate — no legacy stack — and influence technical direction, product decisions, and engineering culture from day one.

Role Responsibilities :

• Architect and build the fraud intelligence system (risk scoring, anomaly detection signals).
• Own backend and verification workflows end-to-end.
• Build secure APIs, backend services, and internal tools / dashboards (MERN stack).
• Integrate with third-party providers : KYC, OCR / face match, Account Aggregators, VKYC and others.
• Own production infrastructure — CI / CD pipelines, observability, monitoring systems, and security practices.
• Make foundational decisions across Docker / Kubernetes, queues, caching and event streaming systems.
• Collaborate closely with the founders to shape the roadmap and help build the early engineering team.

Why This Role Matters

This is a rare opportunity to build foundational infrastructure for a market that hasn’t been solved before. The systems you design now will influence how millions of rental transactions across India work in the future.
