A bit about axiTrust. And the moonshot we are chasing!
If "surety bond" did not ring an immediate bell, that is the problem and the opportunity.
Every year, thousands of crores of MSME working capital sits locked inside bank guarantees. It is the price businesses pay just to participate: to win a government tender, to bid for a corporate contract, to prove they will deliver. The bank guarantee is how Indian commerce builds trust. It is also slow, expensive and largely inaccessible to the small and mid -sized business that actually does most of the building.
A surety bond does the same job better. It is how a contractor proves to a project owner that they will deliver, without tying up their balance sheet to do it. It is the trust infrastructure that makes tendering work. And in a country running an infrastructure push of the scale India is, the category we are creating has the potential to move GDP, not just metrics.
We are building India's first full -stack surety bond platform for MSMEs, and we are only beginning to discover how far the use case goes. Every industry that runs on contracts, tenders and performance guarantees is a potential home for surety bonds. Every new use case is a new set of relationships to build: Insurers who underwrite the risk, Beneficiaries who accept the bond, Channel Partners who distribute it and MSMEs who finally have access to a tool their larger competitors have always had. This is not a market we are entering. It is a category we are creating.
We were founded in 2024 by serial entrepreneurs and industry veterans who have done this before (ex -founders of numberz, acquired by Chargebee), backed by global VCs and industry veterans, with platform partnerships already running across Government, leading Insurers, corporates and PSUs. We are digital -first and AI -savvy by design. We are also a company where a significant part of the growth happens in person: customer conversations, industry panels and rooms where the right people are making decisions about surety bonds for the first time. Marketing straddles both. The digital engine and the room where it is all being shaped.
We move at the pace of our change -the -world conviction.
Why this role even exists. And why now.
axiTrust is the platform layer that brings the surety bond ecosystem together — connecting businesses applying for bonds with insurers issuing them, on a multi -tenant system designed for a strictly regulated, document -heavy, trust -critical environment. The market is large, the timing is right, and the engineering problems are genuinely interesting.
Our product handles real financial workflows: bond applications, document generation, document e -signing, risk analysis, and integrations with government and partner APIs. The foundation is in place. We are looking for passionate engineers who can take full ownership of features end -to -end, raise the engineering bar, and ship to thought out features to the platform
If this hire works, the platform scales reliably, the codebase gets measurably better over time, and the team ships faster — because there is someone who catches problems before they become incidents and leaves every system they touch cleaner than they found it.
What you will own. All 4 of them.
1. Full -Stack Feature Ownership. You own features from schema design through migration, service logic, REST API, and React interface — with minimal hand -holding and full accountability for outcomes. This is not ticket delivery; it is engineering leadership at the feature level.
By 90 days: At least two features shipped end -to -end, from schema to UI, with no regressions in production and an API first approach
By 12 months: Recognised within the team as the go -to owner for a core module or subsystem, with documented architecture decisions.
2. Security and Access Control. You contribute to RBAC: permission modelling, multi -tenant role scoping, API key management, and audit logging. In fintech, this is foundational, not optional.
By 90 days: A transparent understanding of the existing permission model documented, with at least one gap identified and addressed.
