Role: Senior Staff Engineer (Founding Team)

Work Arrangement: Work from Home

Location: India

Schedule: Night shift :

You will be M&S;’s first full-time engineer and the founding hire on a new Product & Technology team. For the first several months you are largely on your own on the engineering side. The Director of IT owns systems context and IT operations.

The Partner & CTO owns direction and partner-facing strategy. You own the build. Year one is hands-on. You build AI tools and applications that serve both internal teams and clients from day one — the integration substrate, the agent platform, and the LLM based products M&S; puts in front of clients all start in parallel.

The client-facing surface deepens as the AI capability matures. This is where the firm’s longer-term tech differentiation lives, and the role grows over time, shaped by the work and the team that forms around you. Non-negotiable skills and requirements:

10+ years of professional software development. That's a floor, not a preference.

Has architected one production system end-to-end on Azure.



You should be able to walk through the services they chose, the trade-offs, and what failed in production.

Certifications on their own aren't enough.

Has shipped at least one production LLM-backed system (an agent, a RAG pipeline, or an LLM integration) with real users.

End-to-end ownership across the layers. Writes the code, deploys it, writes the IaC, owns the observability and the on-call. Not someone who hands off to a platform, SRE, or ops team. M&S; doesn't have any of those.

Willing to overlap 4 to 5 hours daily with US Central.

write and shipped code personally in the last 12 months, has owned something running in production, and uses AI coding tools day to day.

Perks & Benefits: Comprehensive health and life insurance on your 16th day of employment, covering 1 free dependent on the 16th day of employment

Quarterly perks boxes for WFH staff, offering groceries and snacks to keep you fueled
