About Us
At Humantic AI, our mission is to humanize the internet. Our product is at the cutting-edge of AI, Psychology and large-scale data. We believe that we have an opportunity (and even a responsibility) to personalize and humanize how people interact over the internet; and an opportunity to inspire far more trustworthy relationships online than it has ever been possible before.
We currently focus on selling buyer intelligence to sales teams. We provide previously impossible insights about the buyers to our users, which help them personalize every interaction and build trustworthy connections that otherwise would not be possible. Gartner has listed us as one of the only 5 Sales AI products that enterprise sales teams should use. We are taught as part of coursework at universities like Indiana University and Baylor University.
Our customers include enterprises like AWS, NextEra Energy and Cushman & Wakefield; startups like Domo, AcuityMD, Gitlab and even the sales team at the legendary Manchester United. And we have just about started!
Key Responsibilities
- Build and Scale the Squad: Own the hiring strategy, interviewing, and onboarding to scale the India-based engineering team from 7 to 15+ over the next 18 months.
- Full People Leadership: Move beyond mentorship to full management. You are responsible for the health, happiness, and performance of the team, including appraisals, conflict resolution, and career progression for all engineers (Junior to Senior).
- Own the Delivery Timeline: Translate product roadmaps into executable engineering sprints. You are responsible for the When and the How of delivery, running sprint planning and stand-ups to ensure predictable velocity.
- System Architecture & Strategy: Own the system design and architecture of Humantic AI's full-stack applications (Frontend & Backend). You must ensure scalability for large-scale web/data products while delegating execution effectively.
- Cross-Functional Orchestration: Act as the bridge between Product, Design, and Engineering. Negotiate technical debt vs. feature development and collaborate with designers to verify feasibility and ensure a seamless user experience.
- Operational Rigor: Implement and enforce engineering best practices (CI/CD, QA processes, incident management) to minimize production downtime and ensure high code quality.
- AI Leadership: Utilise your expertise to work with LLMs and our unique Humantic flavoured Generative AI personalization suite, ensuring our tech stack remains at the cutting edge.
Requirements
What Really Matters
- Ideally, 10+ years of experience in successfully building, deploying, and running complex, large-scale web or data products.
- Proven Management Experience: Demonstrated success managing a team of 5+ engineers for at least 2 years (managing timelines, performance, and hiring). You know how to transition a team from startup chaos to structured agility.
- Full-stack Authority: Deep expertise with Javascript, Node.js, MySQL, and Python. You must have world-class expertise in at least one area but possess a solid understanding of the entire stack in a multi-tier environment.
- Architectural Track Record: Has built at least two professional-grade products as the tech owner/architect and led the delivery of complex products from conception to release.
- Program Management Skills: Ability to estimate complex projects accurately, manage stakeholder expectations, and hold the team accountable to deadlines.
- Creative Engineering: A creative mind with an uncanny sense of design thinking and principles.
- Values: Most importantly, the kind of values you have as a person.
What Matters Somewhat
- Experience in working with REST APIs, Machine Learning, Algorithms & AWS.
- Familiar with visualization libraries and database technologies.
- Your reputation in the technology community within your domain.
- Your participation and success in competitive programming.
- Work on unusual/extraordinary hobby projects during school/college that were not a part of the curriculum.
- The school that you come from and organizations where you have worked earlier.
Personality Expectations
- Thoughtful & Analytical: Unlike a sales role, this role requires deep analytical ability and thoughtfulness. You don't just hit goals at any cost; you architect sustainable solutions that prevent future debt.
- The Pack Leader Mentality: You are competitive, but you understand that your team's win is your win. You shift from getting a dopamine hit from solving a bug yourself to getting a hit from unblocking your team to solve ten bugs.
- High Ownership of Outcomes: You don't just care that the code was written; you care that the feature was delivered, works for the customer, and didn't break production. You expect very highly of yourself and being less than ideal anywhere almost pains you.
- Resilience: You possess the mental endurance to push through complex technical constraints and tight deadlines without losing your cool.
- Uncompromising Values: On the other side, there is only one thing that we care for apart from performance - your values. We have room for mistakes on the performance side, we have no room for mistakes on your values.
What Do We Look For
More than anything else, we look for exceptions. And accomplishments. Both across professional life as well as personal life.
We believe that only a few people become great later in their life. Those who become great have usually shown some signs of greatness, big or small, right from their early years. They probably did something great at school, something great during college, in their community, professional life and so on.
All of them do not have to be usual accomplishments or exceptions. Dropping out of college to pursue sports (or acting, or a startup) is not an accomplishment for example, but it surely is an exception. Becoming a national level sportsperson is an accomplishment. Becoming an international level sportsperson is an even bigger accomplishment.
We look for such exceptional and/or accomplished people. If you don't have something like this in your profile, odds are that you would not get shortlisted.
What is in it for you
Top of line salary + sizeable equity + a world-class problem + kickass teammates + openest culture ever
