Head of Engineering (CTO) – SaaS Company

Renumerations : Attractive Base Salary + Startup ESOP

Work Location : Noida, India

About the company :

We are representing Komp Global — an AI-native modern global workforce platform, reimagined for the AI era. And yes, the company is still in stealth. However, they are moving fast — and aiming big. Backed by visionary operators and already onboarding early customers, Komp is now bringing in builders who want to move fast, think boldly, and shape the future of work.

Komp is a startup on a mission to rewire how global teams are hired, onboarded, and paid. This isn’t a patchwork of legacy systems. We’re building an AI-powered platform from day one — with AI Agents, compliance prediction engines, and modular infrastructure built to scale.

If you want true startup energy with real strategic direction — and a seat at the table while it’s still being built — let’s talk.
