Job description

Founding product engineer - NodeJS / NestJS / MongoDB / Blockchain / AI

Type : Full-time.

Compensation : Competitive with meaningful equity / token upside

Who We Are

We’re building two interconnected products :

  • Airavat – a next-gen, AI-powered crypto exchange.
  • Tatv.ai – an automated, retail-facing algorithmic trading platform.

Our mission : to democratize access to crypto and powerful trading tools , whether you're a long-term investor or a high-frequency scalper. We're combining real trading infrastructure with cutting-edge AI to give every user an edge.

The Opportunity

Join us as a founding product engineer — not just a developer, but a builder who thinks in terms of product, UX, and outcomes . You’ll work across systems and interfaces, but you’ll also influence what gets built, why, and how fast it ships.

This isn’t a job for someone who only wants Jira tickets. It’s a role for someone who :

  • Wants to help define the product, not just implement it.
  • Has a sixth sense for what’s “good enough to ship” vs “must be rock solid.”
  • Wants the challenge of owning a live trading system that real people use and trust.
  • What You Bring (Required Skills)

  • Ideally, 4+ years in hands-on, full-time software engineering roles.
  • Strong full-stack skills , especially across the MERN stack .
  • Proven experience designing and building backend APIs, scalable services , and polished UIs .
  • Real-world experience with Blockchain / Crypto systems — ideally working with node APIs, smart contracts, or exchange flows.
  • Solid grasp of systems architecture : You can model tradeoffs, cache intelligently, and reason about data consistency, failure states, and latency.
  • You ship with craftsmanship and care : logging, tests, devops awareness, and proper config are part of your definition of done.
  • You're already AI-augmented : You fluently use tools like GPT, Claude, Cursor, Agents, or Replit to accelerate coding, testing, and problem-solving.
  • Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves)

  • Experience with NestJS or structured back-end frameworks.
  • Built or managed Telegram bots using frameworks like GrammyJS .
  • Have shipped at least one consumer-facing product to a large or real audience.
  • Can point to apps, bots, tools , or open-source work you’ve led or contributed to.
  • Familiarity with AI agent frameworks or building your own task orchestration logic.
  • Prior experience managing / mentoring junior engineers.
  • Mindset We’re Looking For

    You might be a great fit if you :

  • Are a product-minded engineer : You think deeply about what users want, and you often suggest product improvements before anyone asks.
  • Take a long-term view : You’re looking to grow with a team and vision — not bounce from gig to gig.
  • Have a bias for ownership : You don't need tight specs. You’re capable of scoping, architecting, and executing features independently.
  • Are multipurpose : Infra, bots, prompt flows, smart contract interaction — you’re ready to wear multiple hats.
  • Move with urgency : You want to outpace the market, not just keep up.
  • Care about purpose and outcomes , not just completing tasks.
  • Are genuinely interested in Crypto, DeFi, trading , or AI systems — or better, all of them.
  • Use AI not as a gimmick, but as an integral part of your day-to-day engineering process .
  • Understand what it means to balance shipping with quality : not gold-plating, not cutting corners — just doing things smart and fast.
  • What You Get

  • Founding engineer status with direct impact on both product and company.
  • The opportunity to grow with the organization. No role is off limits.
  • Competitive market salary.
  • Early equity / token upside with long-term comp potential.
  • A career-defining opportunity to build something from scratch — without red tape.
  • Autonomy and influence across product, technical architecture, and user experience.
  • A highly aligned founder and mission-first environment, where speed and craftsmanship are equally respected.
