We're Hiring: Technology Consultant / Fractional CTO Engineering Hiring | Technology Architecture | Strategic Advisory ?

Location:
Gurgaon, Haryana / Remote ? Engagement: Paid Consulting / Contract / Fractional Advisory ?

Experience:
8+ years preferred (strong technical expertise takes priority over years of experience) ? Opportunity: Initial project-based engagement with potential for a long-term advisory partnership About Aumraa At Aumraa, we're on a mission to build India's next-generation Devotional Super App — a unified faith-tech ecosystem that brings together temples, pujas, spiritual guidance, devotional content, sacred commerce and community, with a vision to become a trusted digital companion for millions of devotees. As an early-stage startup, we're establishing our in-house technology team and laying the foundation for a scalable digital platform spanning web, mobile applications, commerce, service bookings and integrations. About the Opportunity We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Technology Consultant / Fractional CTO / Engineering Leader to work closely with our founder and help us make informed technical decisions as we build Aumraa. Our immediate priority is to hire Full-Stack Developers, and we need an experienced technology qualified who can independently assess candidates, lead technical evaluations and help us build a capable engineering team. Beyond recruitment, we envision this evolving into a long-term technology advisory relationship, supporting our platform architecture, mobile application development, engineering standards and broader technology initiatives. This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys working with early-stage startups, combining hands-on technical expertise with strategic thinking and helping founders translate ambitious product visions into reliable, scalable technology. Engagement Structure This is not a conventional full-time CTO position OR Co-founder position. We are initially seeking an independent technology consultant for a defined, paid technical hiring engagement.

• An experienced professional who:
• Has preferably 8+ years of software engineering experience, including substantial hands-on development and architecture responsibilities.
• Has worked as a CTO, Fractional CTO, Engineering Manager, Technical Lead, Solution Architect, Principal Engineer or Senior Full-Stack Engineer.
• Has personally built, shipped or scaled production-grade digital products.
• Can evaluate both junior and senior engineering candidates with confidence.
• Has experience mentoring developers and establishing practical engineering standards.
• Understands the challenges, resource constraints and decision-making needs of an early-stage startup.
• Can communicate complex technical decisions clearly to a non-technical founder.
