THE MISSION

Own the full stack — from Qualcomm AR1 silicon and Sony camera firmware to Gemini AI inference and the consumer app — and ship India's first category-defining AI smartglass platform used by tens of millions.

ABOUT B BY LENSKART

B by Lenskart is India's first full-stack AI smartglass — designed, engineered, and assembled in India. At just 40 grams (lighter than Meta Ray-Ban), powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chipset, a Sony camera, and Google Gemini 2.5 Live, it brings real-time AI assistance, UPI payments, live translation, health monitoring, and hands-free computing to everyday life.

The global smartglasses market is projected to reach USD 4–5 billion by 2030 at ~30% CAGR. Lenskart — with its omnichannel retail network, vertically integrated supply chain, and consumer data intelligence — is positioned to own India's share of this market.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Define and own the 3-year product vision

- Balance consumer delight, developer extensibility, and manufacturing feasibility.
- Represent product and technology strategy at the board level alongside CEO Peyush Bansal.

Lead full-stack engineering — hardware through cloud

- Manage multidisciplinary teams across embedded systems, on-device AI, mobile engineering, and backend data platform.
- Drive engineering velocity without sacrificing quality or reliability at scale.
- Own recruitment and org design for a 50–100+ person engineering organisation.

Build India's wearable developer ecosystem

- Open the platform to third-party developers across food delivery, fitness, and entertainment.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

Must-have

- 12+ years in product or engineering leadership, including at least one hardware-software platform built from 0 to 1.
- Hands-on experience with embedded or wearable systems (AR, XR, IoT, or equivalent consumer hardware).
- Track record shipping AI/ML features at consumer scale — millions of DAUs.
- Experience managing 50+ person cross-functional engineering organisations.
- Solid instincts for India-first product design: Indic languages, UPI, low-latency network constraints.

Great to have

- Prior work with Qualcomm Snapdragon AR chipsets or camera ISP pipelines.
- Experience with on-device LLM inference or edge AI deployment.
- Building and scaling developer platforms or marketplace ecosystems.
- Expertise in health wearables, computer vision, or real-time translation systems.
- Background at Meta, Apple, Google, Samsung, or equivalent in XR/spatial computing.

WHY THIS ROLE, WHY NOW

- The global smartglasses market is projected to reach USD 4–5 billion by 2030, growing at ~30% CAGR — and Lenskart has the retail density, brand trust, and supply chain to own India's share.
- B by Lenskart is the only AI smartglass designed and assembled in India — lighter than Meta Ray-Ban at 40g — with full-stack product ownership and no hardware outsourcing debt.
- You report directly to CEO Peyush Bansal and shape strategy at the board level. This is a defining platform role, not a custodian role.
- Strategic investments in XR and AI startups (Ajna Lens and others) give you an internal startup portfolio to draw from.
