About this post
:

MantriAI is the search partner for this role. All applications come to us first. We screen and send only shortlisted profiles to the client.

The client is a profitable fintech company based in Indore. They work in retail investing and trading. Company name will be shared after the screening call.

The role
:

VP of Engineering, reporting directly to the CTO. We want someone who has run engineering as a business function, not just shipped code — owns architecture, owns delivery, owns the numbers behind both, and is comfortable being the person paged when something breaks.

What you'll do
:
- Lead backend, frontend, mobile, QA, automation and DevOps as one org. Hire, mentor and manage the people running each of these.
- Own the tech stack and architecture calls — scalability, security, performance, cost. Stay hands-on enough to make the hard calls yourself.
- Take engineering execution from technical planning to production release. Work with product and business to turn asks into real roadmaps.
- Own the engineering metrics that actually matter — cycle time,



deployment frequency, defect leakage, MTTR, uptime — and show month-on-month movement on them, not just track them.
- Own Sev-0 and Sev-1 incidents end to end: response, root cause, and the fix that stops it happening again.
- Build the practices that don't exist yet — code review discipline, CI/CD, release process, documentation — from wherever they currently stand.

Who should apply
:
- 10+ years in software engineering, with 3+ years directly managing engineering teams — not just tech-leading with reports.
- You've led more than one function yourself (say, backend and QA, or backend and mobile) — this isn't a first-time-manager seat.
- You've personally operated a product at real scale — genuinely run something serving 1 lakh+ daily user logins, with the on-call and incident scars to prove it.
- Deep hands-on background in C#/.NET. Preferred if you've since moved into a newer stack like Gola
