A team of strong engineers is the easy part. Building a team that ships fast, argues well, and holds its own bar without being asked to that's the job.

Engineering here isn't executing a roadmap someone else wrote. It's deciding what gets built, what gets killed, and where AI actually changes the game for a platform handling sensitive financial data at real scale.

About

Dezerv

Dezerv is a house of investing solutions for India's high-net-worth and affluent families, co-founded by Sandeep Jethwani, Vaibhav Porwal, and Sahil Contractor who between them have run over USD 7 billion in assets across JP Morgan, UBS, and BNP Paribas. We're backed by Premji Invest, Accel, Elevation, and Matrix, and our clients have trusted us with over ₹15,000 crore of their wealth.

Investing is stressful. Building wealth is slow and unforgiving. We're building the platform that fixes that — deep investment expertise, paired with technology, minus the cost and anxiety of a traditional advisory relationship. We've grown fast because we're genuinely good at this, transparent on fees, and up-to-date in how we build. What are we trying to solve/mission?

We are passionate about helping Indians invest better. We manage investments with active oversight to help both sophisticated and new investors build long-term wealth across various market conditions. About the Role

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team of backend, frontend, and full-stack engineers and to stay close enough to the code to earn their trust. You'll own delivery for your team, set technical direction alongside Product and Design, and take real responsibility for how your engineers grow.

Our roadmap ahead is ambitious scaling core platform capabilities, deepening our data infrastructure,



and embedding AI into how we build and how our product works. You'll own a meaningful slice of that, and the team that delivers it. What You'll Own Team Leadership & People Growth

Lead, mentor, and coach a team of backend, frontend, and full-stack engineers

Own career growth for your team structured feedback, development plans, and technical guidance that actually changes how people work

Grow senior engineers into tech leads and future managers, and give your strongest people problems worth staying for

Hire senior engineers independently and hold the bar, even when the pressure is to fill the seat

Instill a culture of high ownership, technical rigor, and intellectual honesty about tradeoffs — where the team takes calculated risks without fearing failure.

Technical

Direction

Maintain high standards for system design, performance, observability, and reliability across a fintech-grade platform handling sensitive financial data

Bring AI into how the team builds code generation, review, testing — with a clear view of where it adds velocity and where it quietly adds risk.

Execution





Excellence

Deliver high-quality features on time across multiple parallel workstreams

Establish engineering processes that hold under pressure code reviews, incident postmortems, testing culture, release pipelines

Partner closely with product managers to shape problem statements, not just execute solutions

Build the tracking and accountability mechanisms that make your team's execution predictable

Ensure engineering output translates directly into business outcomes and a better client experience. What We're Looking For
