About Us
Meraki Labs (founded by Mukesh Bansal & Peeyush Ranjan) builds and rapidly scales AI-first, "moonshot" startups. We're looking for a high-velocity, production-grade engineer to build 0-to-1 products alongside founders.
About the role
Proofline is live in production with institutional pilots underway. The Pod Lead owns the backend platform end-to-end, including the scale-up and the platform strategy across our planned free, premium, and enterprise tiers and leads the four-engineer Bengaluru team, reporting to the founder.
Responsibilities
• Own production reliability, deployment, and observability for a Python microservices platform on GCP; maintain a daily-release cadence.
• Own the tier strategy end-to-end and build the monetization layer: metering, tier enforcement, billing integration, entitlements.
• Drive enterprise readiness: SSO and tenancy hardening, audit logging, SOC 2 preparation.
• Set and enforce engineering standards; review all backend work, including AI-agent-generated code.




• Manage and mentor the pod; own delivery against the product roadmap with the founder; help design the hiring of the remaining seats.
Requirements
• You treat AI IDEs as a force multiplier, but you own the architecture, quality, and production-readiness that AI can't.
• Backend/platform depth including years owning production systems at a product company; zero-to-one or founding-engineer experience strongly preferred.
• Expert Python (FastAPI/Django/Flask) and robust cloud depth (GCP or AWS): containers, CI/CD, IaC, monitoring.
• Experience with billing, metering, or entitlement systems at scale.
• AI-native working style: daily use of coding agents (Claude Code, Codex-class tools) with a clear point of view on reviewing AI-generated code.
• Prior team-lead or tech-lead experience.
Nice to Have
• Experience running multi-tenant and single-tenant / on-prem-style fleets with per-customer isolation, upgrade paths, and migration compatibility.
• Already orchestrate AI codin
