Founding Full Stack Engineer (SaaS / AgriTech)

🧑‍💻 Founding Software Engineer – Full Stack (B2B SaaS for Agriculture)

Location: Kolkata (preferred) or Remote (India)

Type: Full-time

Experience: 4–6 years

Compensation: ₹1 Lakh per month

About Us

We’re building a productivity platform for plantation agriculture—starting with the tea industry. Our software will bring together human-entered and IoT-derived data (e.g. weather, geofencing, pest detection, factory sensors), layered with global market intelligence and domain-specific research.

This is a rare opportunity to build a deeply impactful SaaS product in a legacy industry using modern technology. We're well-capitalized and backed by a legacy tea group—but building this as an independent tech-first startup.

The Role

We are looking for a Founding Software Engineer to work directly with the founder (MBA Columbia, CS undergrad, ex-operator) and lead the development of our MVP. You’ll help shape the product, choose the stack, write clean modular code, and iterate based on real user feedback from working plantations.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to build a product end-to-end, own architecture and quality, and grow into a tech leadership role.

Responsibilities

Architect and build a cloud-based full-stack web application from scratch.

Set up version control, deployment pipelines, and CI/CD.

Write clean, modular, well-documented code with inline comments and clear folder structures.

Implement form validations, unit testing, and basic test coverage.

Handle user authentication, role-based access, and secure data flow.

Work closely with the founder—daily syncs to discuss design, priorities, feedback.

Collaborate with agri analysts, designers, and future dev hires.

Choose initial stack based on long-term maintainability and performance.

Requirements

4–6 years of hands-on software development experience.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field.

Proficiency in full-stack development. We are flexible on stack—examples:

Frontend: React / Vue / Svelte

Backend: Python (FastAPI / Django), Node.js, or Go

Database: PostgreSQL / MongoDB

Cloud: AWS / GCP / Azure (with Docker/Kubernetes optional)

Strong fundamentals in clean code, modular architecture, and basic testing.

Comfort with Git, version control workflows, and cloud deployment.

Strong communication and ownership mindset—you'll be part of shaping the future of the product.

Startup or B2B SaaS experience is a plus, not mandatory.

Nice to Have

Experience with agri-tech, geospatial data, or IoT integrations.

Exposure to machine learning, data analytics, or time-series data.

Familiarity with low-bandwidth, offline-first app design.

Prior experience with admin dashboards or internal tools.

Why Join Us

Work on a meaningful problem with real-world impact.

Be part of the founding team, shaping the product, team, and culture.

Flexible remote work and strong founder involvement.

Transparent vision, long-term commitment, and deep domain access.
