Software Architect – SaaS | Gaming x Ad-Tech (On-Site, South Delhi)

📍 Location:

Greater Kailash II, South Delhi, New Delhi (On-Site Role Only | Local candidates preferred)

🕹️ About Us:

We’re a stealth-mode, bootstrapped startup building a next-gen SaaS platform at the convergence of Gaming and Ad-Tech. We believe in lean, fast, and purposeful product development. With strong early traction and a focused vision, we are building for scale and sustainability from day one.

As we scale our engineering efforts, we’re hiring a Software Architect who can define, design, and drive the technical foundation of our platform — while working hands-on with a full-stack TypeScript team (React, Next.js, NestJS, MongoDB, Deno).

🚀 Role Overview:

You will be the technical backbone and system thinker in the product team — responsible for designing scalable system architecture, making long-term technology choices, and guiding implementation with a “less is more” mindset. This is a high-ownership role reporting directly to the founders.

🎯 Key Responsibilities:

• Architect and evolve the overall system — frontend, backend, APIs, data flows, security, and DevOps.
• Make foundational decisions on tech stack, system design, infrastructure, and scalability.
• Lead the packaging and delivery of the SaaS product — with clear attention to versioning, deployment models (single/multi-tenant), and product modularity.
• Drive design of core product modules, services, and integrations.
• Balance lean MVP delivery with long-term maintainability and performance.
• Set up engineering best practices: CI/CD pipelines, versioning, logging, monitoring, testing frameworks.
• Collaborate with the product manager and developers to ensure architecture aligns with business goals.
• Mentor developers, perform architecture/code reviews, and raise engineering standards.
• Lead choices around data modeling, caching, message queues, and event-driven design (if required).

🧠 Required Skills & Experience:

• 5+ years of experience in software architecture or senior engineering roles.
• Strong expertise in TypeScript across the stack.
• Hands-on experience with:
• React, Next.js (frontend, SSR, routing)
• NestJS or ExpressJS on Deno runtime
• MongoDB, schema design, optimization
• Proven experience in packaging and delivering a SaaS product — with focus on deployment, scalability, and customer onboarding.
• Deep understanding of system design, REST APIs, microservices, and API security.
• Experience deploying scalable web apps on platforms like Vercel, Render, or containerized setups (Docker/K8s optional).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, GitHub workflows, and DevOps fundamentals.
• Excellent documentation, architectural diagramming, and communication skills.

✅ You’re a Fit If You:

• Are a system thinker with a passion for elegant, efficient architecture.
• Have successfully packaged, deployed, and versioned SaaS applications in production.
• Believe in lean product development — building only what’s essential and scalable.
• Can translate fuzzy product ideas into well-structured technical designs.
• Thrive in early-stage, ambiguous, and high-ownership environments.
• Enjoy mentoring and leading small but high-performing technical teams.

🌱 Why Join Us:

• Build a modern product from scratch with real ownership.
• Work on a unique problem at the intersection of gaming, community, and advertising.
• Join a close-knit, ambitious founding team.
• Opportunity to grow into CTO / Head of Engineering as the company scales.
• During the interview process, wherever asked, quote Flight No. AI 101 for ready reference.
