Job description

About Us & The Role

At Truxt.ai, we're not just another startup—we're solving large enterprises' biggest data paradoxes and pioneering the world's first fully autonomous software Analytics. As an early-stage company driven by a meaningful mission, we seek exceptional engineering talent who values purpose, long-term impact, and significant equity ownership over traditional salary compensation.

As a Founding Senior Software Engineer, you'll be a vital force with direct influence on our core architecture, product decisions, and company culture. You won't just be another senior engineer—you'll have the freedom to turn your boldest ideas into impactful realities while building substantial ownership in our company's future.

What Makes This Opportunity Different :

  • Freedom to Execute : Set your own goals, timelines, and approaches without bureaucratic hurdles.
  • True Ownership : Founding engineers receive substantial equity packages (competitive with senior engineer salaries at scale), ensuring you directly benefit from the value you create.
  • Technical Challenge : Solve complex real-world problems with meaningful impact.
  • Impact-Driven Culture : Directly influence product direction, company culture, and growth strategy.
  • Transparent Leadership : Collaborative environment, weekly strategy sessions, and full visibility into company health and roadmap.
  • Exponential Upside Potential : Your equity stake grows with company success—potential for life-changing returns as we scale.

Apply Only If You :

  • Believe your work should be meaningful and aligned with your values.
  • Seek freedom to turn your research and ideas into reality.
  • Are tired of incremental feature development on uninspiring products.
  • Want to build something from scratch with significant technical challenges.
  • Dream big and prioritize ownership, autonomy, and exponential growth potential over guaranteed salary.
  • Thrive without hand-holding and proactively create your own direction.
  • Are financially positioned to accept equity-only compensation during our early growth phase.
  • Our Promise to You

  • Zero Bureaucracy : No VP approvals or innovation theater—just you, meaningful problems, and the freedom to solve them.
  • Transparent Leadership : Open, collaborative culture with weekly strategy sessions.
  • Impact-Driven Culture : Your voice directly shapes our product and strategy.
  • Significant Equity Package : Founding-level equity stake that reflects your early-stage commitment and risk.
  • Compensation Structure

  • Base Salary : Rs. 0 (Equity-only position) until we close Funding, Better than market average post Funding.
  • Future Upside : Participation in all future funding rounds and liquidity events
  • What We're Looking For

  • Passionate Builder : Proactive problem-solver who identifies, iterates, and ships solutions.
  • Experienced Technologist : 5+ years building complex software systems (ideally in Python, Go, Rust, or similar).
  • AI Enthusiast : Hands-on experience with Generative AI technologies.
  • DevOps Savvy : Comfortable navigating and optimizing CI / CD pipelines.
  • Entrepreneurial Spirit : Driven by impact, ownership, and autonomy.
  • Financial Flexibility : Able to commit to equity-only compensation during our early growth phase.
  • Ready to Build Something Extraordinary? If you're done optimizing ad algorithms or CRUD apps and eager to tackle genuinely impactful problems while building true ownership in a revolutionary company, send us your profile.

    "No great engineer ever joined a startup just for salary—join us for the mission, the freedom, the opportunity to turn your boldest ideas into reality, and the chance to own a meaningful piece of the future we're building together."
