Role Overview We’re looking for a Technical Co-Founder / Founding Engineer who will own the product’s technical foundation — from architecture to deployment — and shape the roadmap alongside the founding team.

• Integrate or fine-tune AI/LLM models for personalized insights and recommendations.
• Collaborate closely on product strategy, UX, and data infrastructure.
• Manage hosting (AWS / GCP / Supabase / Firebase) and DevOps pipelines for early versions.
• Mentor early engineering hires as the team scales.

Who You Are

• Builder mindset — excited about zero-to-one product creation.
• Proficient in JavaScript / TypeScript (React, Node.js) or Python (FastAPI, Flask, Django).
• Familiarity with AI/ML integrations, Supabase / Firebase, and PostgreSQL / NoSQL databases.
• Strong understanding of API architecture and third-party integrations.
• Interest in astrology.
• Self-driven, creative, and comfortable working in ambiguity.
• Work 20+ hours/week on Vedicscan.

What We Offer

• Equity (Co-founder level) stake or founding engineer equity + stipend depending on contribution and commitment.
• Freedom to choose tech stack and shape product direction.
• Opportunity to build something that blends AI innovation with Indian cultural depth.
• Work directly with the founder (USA MBA).
