— our carbon inventory management solution




Oversee delivery on
eCheck

Partner closely with the marketing team on startup-side growth and positioning efforts
Act as the senior leadership presence for India operations, representing FTL with clients, partners, and internal stakeholders
Balance strategic planning with hands-on involvement in architecture and delivery

What We're Looking For

8+ years of experience in technology roles, with demonstrated progression into architecture and leadership
Proven experience leading and scaling teams
Strong AI/technical architecture background — able to make and defend design decisions across product lines
Experience integrating AI/ML capabilities into production systems
Comfort operating across both product (Carbalyze, Carboventory) and services (eCheck) environments
Some exposure to or interest in marketing/growth functions, particularly in a startup context
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
Based in Chennai or Trivandrum preferred, or able to work substantially overlapping hours with the team
