Job description

About The Role

Forward-deployed engineers at Stackbinary take a client problem from scoping to a running system, usually in about two weeks, and then move to the next one. You decide the architecture, build across the stack with AI tools, deploy, and stand behind the result in the client demo. Stacks change from project to project; the fundamentals do not. This is on site five days a week in Kandivali East, Mumbai. Everyone starts with a one-month paid trial at Rs 25,000. Engineers who clear it move to a base of Rs 35,000 a month plus variable pay tied to the projects they deliver. Engineers on this plan have earned between Rs 35,000 and Rs 70,000 a month.

What You’ll Do

• Scope a client requirement into a system design and a two-week plan
• Build and deploy across backend, frontend, data and cloud as the project needs
• Integrate AI where it moves the outcome and leave it out where it does not
• Run the client demo, take the feedback, ship the changes
• Hand a system over in a state another engineer can maintain

What You’ll Bring

• One to three years building software that shipped, with links or references
• Fluency in at least two languages or layers and proof of learning a third quickly
• Clear thinking about data flow, state, deployment and failure modes
• Comfort talking to a client and turning vague asks into decisions
• Ability to work from Kandivali East five days a week from your start date

Nice to Have

• Freelance or agency delivery experience
• Production experience with LLM APIs, queues or real-time systems
• Contest ratings, hackathon placements or open-source work

What You’d Build

These aren't hypothetical projects, they're live products you can try before your first interview.

The Stackbinary MarTech Suite, The full product line, every system we ship, most with live demos.
