Position Summary :

At Solique, we are seeking an accomplished and highly technical Director of Engineer to lead our Backend Engineering and AI / ML Engineering functions. The ideal candidate operates as a true player-coach, combining deep technical expertise with strong leadership capability. This role is responsible for owning the technology stack, guiding engineering culture, and ensuring timely and high-quality delivery across all engineering initiatives.

The Director of Engineering is expected to devote approximately 60% of their time to hands-on technical contributions—including system architecture, in-depth code reviews, and resolving technical blockers—and 40% to strategic planning, hiring, and team management activities.

Functional Responsibilities :

Ø AI Strategy & RAG Architecture

  • LLM Orchestration : Architect, optimize, and scale Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems to ensure accurate retrieval of legal and tax-related context for high-precision query responses.
  • Model Lifecycle Management : Lead end-to-end AI workflows, including data preparation, vectorization, fine-tuning open-source models, and integrating with leading APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.).
  • Model Evaluation & Quality : Establish comprehensive evaluation frameworks (BLEU, ROUGE, HumanEval) to ensure accuracy, enhance model “faithfulness,” and minimize hallucinations in sensitive tax outputs.

Ø Backend Architecture & Security

  • Core Platform Engineering : Design and maintain scalable, high-throughput REST APIs using Python (FastAPI preferred). Ensure seamless communication between AI inference layers and frontend systems.
  • Data Architecture : Manage complex PostgreSQL schema design, query optimization, and enforce strict data integrity and compliance aligned with financial-sector regulations.
  • Infrastructure Leadership : Oversee cloud systems to ensure reliability, security, disaster recovery, and cost-effective scaling.
  • Ø Leadership & Operations

  • Execution Excellence : Own the engineering operational cadence—including sprint planning, stand-ups, and performance tracking—acting as the primary escalation point for technical blockers.
  • Team Building : Define the engineering hiring bar. Lead sourcing, interviewing, and recruiting of high-caliber backend and AI / ML talent.
  • Culture & Mentorship : Build and maintain a culture of technical rigor, accountability, and continuous improvement. Mentor engineers in writing clean, robust, and maintainable code.
  • What We Are Looking For :

    Ø Technical Expertise (Must-Haves)

  • Programming Mastery : Expert-level proficiency in Python, the core language of our platform.
  • Backend Experience : Proven experience developing production-grade systems using FastAPI (or Flask / Django) and PostgreSQL.
  • AI / ML Competency : Hands-on experience deploying LLMs and working with vector databases. Strong understanding of prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and RAG systems.
  • Architectural Design : Demonstrated ability to design microservices, distributed systems, and event-driven architectures.
  • Ø Leadership Attributes

  • Startup Acumen : Experience taking products from zero to one. Comfortable making decisions in ambiguity and operating with urgency.
  • Pragmatism : Strong judgment on balancing technical debt with speed of execution.
  • Hands-On Leadership : Deeply technical and willing to dive into code, debug production issues, and guide architectural decisions.
  • Qualifications :

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of overall software engineering experience.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience leading or managing technical teams.
  • What We Offer :

  • Strategic Impact : An opportunity to work at the intersection of Finance and AI, addressing a high-impact problem in the Indian and global markets.
  • Ownership : Significant autonomy and influence in shaping the engineering organization from the ground up.
  • Compensation : Competitive salary and ESOPs commensurate with experience and impact.
