Job descriptionWe're looking for a sharp, execution-obsessed IIT engineer to work directly with the founders as a Founders' Associate. This is a generalist, "do-whatever-it-takes" role at an early-stage startup. You'll sit in the center of product, engineering, operations, and growth - acting as a force multiplier for the founders. If you enjoy extreme ownership, ambiguity, and solving 0- 1 problems fast, you'll love this. Product & Tech : End-to-end (e.g., launching a new feature, internal tool, or GTM experiment). Design and streamline internal processes as we scale from a small, intense team. Set up dashboards, tracking, and basic automations across tools. Help with onboarding, support, demos, and case studies. Run rapid experiments across channels (email outreach, communities, partnerships, etc.). Prepare materials for investors, partners, and key hires. Research and synthesize new markets, competitors, and AI product ideas. Be the "right hand" to the founders on whatever is most important this week. Generous compensation for an early-stage role, with meaningful upside. High-equity, high-trust environment - you'll directly shape the company's trajectory. A front-row seat to company-building : product, users, fundraising, hiring, everything. Product Owner / PM Head of Operations Founding team lead in India Engineering background from IIT (any campus / branch) - we want someone who can think rigorously and move fast. 0-3 years of experience (fresh graduates welcome) OR up to ~5 years if you're hungry to go early-stage. Very high bias to action - you'd rather ship something imperfect today than perfect next month. Strong first-principles thinking and comfort with ambiguity. This is a test to make sure you have great attention to detail. incorporate the word banana into your cover letter. Excellent written & spoken English; can talk to investors one hour and debug a workflow the next. In-person in Nellore, working from the founders' family office. Can create alternative arrangements to work out of chennai if needed. Willingness to work intense, founder-style hours - roughly 9am-9pm, 6 days a week during this build Prior startup / side-project experience (even if it failed). Experience with any of : Python / TypeScript, APIs, automation tools, or data analysis. Comfort using AI tools and keeping up with new AI products. Exposure to productivity tools, scheduling workflows, or B2B SaaS.

We will be motivated to connect you to our network of entrepreneurs, builders, and leaders in Silicon Valley / tech as well as in the world of bootstrapped / cashflowing businesses.
