Forward Deployed Engineer / Engineering & Delivery Lead

If you've ever wished you could stop managing tickets and start solving real problems, this one's for you.

ELAI AgriTech is building technology to make agriculture more data-driven, intelligent, and sustainable. We're now looking for a hands-on engineering leader who can own the last mile between we built it and the customer can actually use it.

This isn't a traditional management role. It's not a pure coding role either. It's for someone who can:

Dive into backend, frontend, infra, and architecture problems and actually fix them. Help take our product from MVP stable, scalable SaaS Mentor and level up our existing engineering team. Talk to customers, translate their needs into technical solutions, and get the team executing spot blockers early and clear them — not escalate them.

What we're looking for:

7+ years of hands-on software/technology experience, ideally in startups or fast-moving product environments

Strong backend + architecture chops, comfortable with cloud, APIs, databases, and distributed systems

Experience taking products from prototype to production

A track record of mentoring engineers and leading delivery — not just writing code

Bonus points for AgriTech, ClimateTech, AI/ML, geospatial, IoT, or SaaS experience

Pune / Remote | Hybrid-We are looking for the right person more than a fixed arrangement. If you've been craving ownership and impact over hierarchy and process, let's talk.
