Location: Bengaluru
Location:
Hyderabad (Full-time, In-office)
Reports to:
CEO / Co-Founder
Salary range: INR 40-45 LPA + generous ESOPs
About the role:
Our client is a Hyderabad-based tech startup. We are looking for a VP of Technology to bridge the gap between our hardware capabilities and software scalability.
We need a leader who can architect from scratch, write production-level code when required, and translate technical complexity into revenue. You will be responsible for building mass-deployable solutions using the MERN stack and BLE/MTT communication protocols, with some responsibilities for Arduino or similar platform-based prototypes.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Architecture & Engineering (The “Build”)
Architect and own the end-to-end technology roadmap, ensuring scalability, security, and robustness
Make critical decisions on the MERN stack implementation (Mongo
DB, Express.js, React, Node.js) for the dashboard and user-facing applications
Lead the transition from hardware prototypes (Arduino) to a seamless integrated system involving BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and MTT protocols
Design secure cloud architectures to handle real-time data ingestion from hardware devices
2. Monetization & Product Strategy (The “Sell”)
Collaborate with the founding team to identify technical routes for monetization
Evaluate licensing models, API monetization, and data-as-a-service opportunities stemming from our hardware ecosystem
Translate technical features into business value propositions for investors and enterprise clients
3. Team Building & Culture
Build and mentor a high-performing engineering team in Hyderabad
Instil a culture of ownership, code quality, and rapid experimentation
Currently working directly with the codebase; expected to gradually transition to managing leads while staying deeply involved in technical reviews
4. Product & Project Management
Own the SDLC from requirement gathering to deployment
Implement agile methodologies suitable for a hardware-software hybrid environment
Manage vendor and partner relationships for hardware components if required
Skills and
Qualifications:
MERN Stack Expert:
Deep expertise in Mongo
DB, Express.js, React, and Node.js. You must have built and scaled products on this stack
IoT & Hardware Integration:
Strong experience integrating software with Arduino based hardware. Must understand the constraints of embedded systems
Protocols:
Hands-on experience with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and MTT (MQTT/CoAP - interpreted as Machine-to-Machine Telemetry Transport) protocols
Cloud & Security:
Proven experience deploying secure, robust applications on cloud platforms (AWS IoT Core/Azure IoT/Google Cloud). You must be paranoid about security in the context of connected devices
Leadership DNA:
You have previously "teams built" — you know how to hire, fire, and mentor
You have experience with "monetizing" technology, not just shipping features
You thrive in an in-office environment and believe in the power of white-boarding together
Nice to Have:
Experience with firmware updates (OTA) for hardware devices
Experience in a deep-tech startup scaling from 0 to 1
