Summary

Position: Head-of-Engineering / Founding Engineer


Location: Remote / India preferred


Type: Co-founder (Equity-first)

We’re building a deep-tech solution to revolutionize online fashion shopping through hyper-personalized virtual try-ons. Our goal is to empower customers to confidently visualize how garments will fit their real bodies, thereby reducing returns, improving conversions, and creating a more sustainable commerce ecosystem.

We're backed by early interest from top-tier VCs and angels, have PhD-level talent contributing to the ML core, and have already validated the need through our prior experience scaling a full-stack checkout/post-checkout platform to over 1,000+ D2C brands and multi-million ARR in under two years.


🔧 Responsibilities
  • Design and build scalable, reliable, and secure systems to support our virtual try-on engine across web and mobile
  • Lead the development of computer vision/ML models for body modeling, fitment simulation, and personalization
  • Define and evolve our tech stack, development practices, and infrastructure choices
  • Collaborate closely with the founder and design/research teams to prioritize features and deliver working software quickly
  • Participate in customer interviews and brand meetings to understand product-market fit at a technical level
  • Establish and foster an engineering culture that values speed, ownership, experimentation, and humility
  • Build and mentor a small, high-agency engineering team from scratch


🧠 Qualifications
  • ~5–8 years of experience building production-grade full-stack systems (e.g., React, Node.js, Python)
  • Proven experience deploying and scaling ML models in production (ideally in computer vision or personalization)
  • Strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), CI/CD workflows, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes)
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience (or a strong willingness) to work in early-stage, fast-paced startup environments
  • Demonstrated ability to quickly learn and apply new tools or technologies—bonus if you've recently explored LLMs, agentic AI, or edge-based CV
  • Enthusiasm for building products from 0→1, embracing ambiguity, and having fun while doing it


🎁 Nice to Have
  • Experience with 3D modeling, body scan reconstruction, or digital avatars
  • Contributions to open-source, indie products, or side projects that show initiative and creativity
  • Exposure to the fashion, e-commerce, or fitment tech ecosystem
💬 Why This Role?
  • Join a mission-driven, high-ownership founding team
  • Shape the core product and engineering roadmap of a deeply technical, high-potential startup
  • Work closely with a founder who's already scaled product-market fit and knows how to build fast
  • Potential for meaningful equity, deep impact, and co-founder status
🚀 How to Apply

If you're excited by the idea of solving real-world fashion problems with cutting-edge tech, and you thrive in small, scrappy, high-momentum teams—we’d love to meet you.
