Founding Software Engineer

About Kalinda

The nature of class actions involves thousands of cases for a single lawsuit. For every plaintiff (injured person), law firms involved in these cases compile everything from the products they used to the injuries they have.

These firms work tirelessly to get a verbal account from their plaintiffs, follow up again and again to fill the gaps, and eventually record what they need. And that’s only half the supporting evidence — the rest is buried in thousands of pages of medical, financial, and employment records that demand just as much attention.

Over the next decade, Kalinda will accelerate how injured people around the world receive compensation for corporate negligence. Right now, we have too much demand from law firms on our plate, and so we’re building an elite team to grow and scale faster.

As a founding engineer of Kalinda, we’re looking for someone:

This role will grow into Kalinda’s Head of Engineering.

• 3+ years of software development experience
• Comfortable working across the stack (frontend, backend, infrastructure)

Ability to move fast with incomplete information and make sound technical decisions

• Experience designing scalable, maintainable architectures from scratch
• Proficient in modern programming languages (Python), frameworks, and development tools

Familiar with cloud platforms, CI/CD, and basic Dev Ops practices

• Product‑minded: able to balance user needs, speed, and technical quality
• Self‑directed, ownership‑driven, and comfortable wearing many hats
• Strong problem‑solving, communication, and collaboration skills
• Interest in startups and building from zero to one

Sayan (CEO) was an AI researcher at UC Davis’s LUKA Lab working on instruction tuning optimization, and Sohil (CTO) was previously an AI researcher at Pacific Northwest National Lab.

We’re brothers and have been collaborators since Day 1 with a proven track record of a successful partnership – co‑founding and scaling a STEM non‑profit together to 7000 students worldwide.

As a team we will frequently go for lunches, dinners, hang out with customers and relax together. Together we’ll build a generational company in this vertical, knowing that company culture is as valuable to us as building great product.

This role will be based out of Kalinda’s San Francisco office.
