At Meolaa, tech talent is our bottleneck. We're building D2C infrastructure, data pipelines, marketplace integrations, and systems that need to scale from ₹1Cr to ₹100Cr ARR. We need someone who understands what good engineering looks like, can source in a competitive market, and moves fast without hiring people who'll slow us down.

The role is Tech Recruiter.

The reality is you own the engineering hiring roadmap, and you own quality.

What does that actually mean?

It means on Monday you're convincing a Backend engineer why Meolaa's problem is more interesting than the Stripe offer they just got.

On Tuesday you're breaking down the CTO's roadmap into hiring needs how many DevOps engineers do we need for Q2?

On Wednesday you're doing final interviews and making the call on your top 3 candidates.

On Thursday you're handling competing offers and negotiating with engineers who have leverage.

On Friday you're presenting hiring pipeline health to the CTO, candidate quality, time-to-hire, pipeline depth.

No two weeks look the same. Every week you're moving the needle on team composition.

Why Meolaa?

We're building tech that's not trivial. D2C platform, marketplace integrations, supply chain visibility, data pipelines — engineers here solve real problems. That's attractive to good engineers. Your job is to find them and convince them this is more interesting than another FAANG role.

You'll have a CTO who actually cares about hiring right. You'll have budget. And you'll have autonomy to source aggressively without permission at every step.

This isn't a volume recruiting role.

This is a quality hiring role at a company that values engineering.
