About Modozo

Modozo is re-engineering the fashion supply chain. By infusing every step—from initial design to final delivery—with cutting-edge technology, we make production faster, leaner, and radically transparent.

Our north star is clear : to elevate India to global leadership in fashion manufacturing by replacing fragmented, 100-day workflows with a unified, digital-first operating system that enables real-time collaboration and data-driven decision-making.

Why This Role Matters

Clickable prototypes are live, and design-partner traction is already in hand.

We now need a hands-on technical lead to transform mock-ups into a secure, scalable, AI-powered MERN platform—and seed an engineering culture from Day 0.

You’ll own architecture, DevOps, and team growth while delivering the features that move the needle for our early customers.

What You’ll Do

1. Design & Build the Core Architecture

  • Craft a multi-tenant back end using Node.Js + Express .
  • Model MongoDB schemas for design assets, RFQs, POs, and workflow events.
  • Deliver clean, versioned REST / GraphQL APIs for the React front end and third-party integrations.

2. Embed Intelligent, AI-Driven Features

  • Integrate LLM services for auto-generated tech packs, smart RFQ comparisons, and conversational vendor chat.
  • Evaluate tools such as OpenAI, LangChain, Pinecone , or fine-tuned in-house models.

    • 3. Lead DevOps & Cloud Deployment

  • Select and configure the cloud stack ( AWS / GCP / Azure ).
  • Set up IaC, CI / CD pipelines , staging, and blue-green deployments.
  • Source and manage DevOps contractors as load scales.

    • 4. Set Engineering Standards & Strategy

  • Establish code-quality, observability, security , and data-privacy baselines (SOC 2 journey).
  • Maintain living architecture documentation and run design reviews.

    • 5. Recruit, Mentor & Scale the Team

  • Partner with founders on hiring plans.
  • Conduct technical interviews, onboard early engineers, and foster a high-ownership culture .

    • Must-Have Skills & Experience

  • MERN expertise : 5+ years building production-grade Node / Express APIs and MongoDB models ;

    • comfortable contributing to React when needed.

  • AI / LLM integration experience : (OpenAI, embeddings, vector DBs, etc.)
  • Cloud & DevOps fluency : Docker, Terraform / Pulumi, GitHub Actions (or equivalent).
  • Security mindset : OAuth2 / OIDC, RBAC, rate-limiting, and secure SDLC familiarity.
  • Startup DNA : Shipped 0→1 products, thrives in ambiguity, and communicates crisply with non-technical stakeholders.

    • Nice-to-Have Skills

  • Experience in supply-chain, PLM, or fashion-tech .
  • Familiarity with event-driven or microservices architecture (Kafka, NATS, etc.).
  • Infra-cost optimization and performance tuning skills.
  • Prior leadership experience managing distributed engineering teams.

    • What We Offer

  • Competitive salary.
  • Full ownership of the technical roadmap and a green-field codebase .
  • Annual learning stipend for conferences, courses, or hardware.
  • A chance to solve a massive real-world problem alongside proven founders.
