Why This Role?

1. Build a Legacy: Shape high-quality problem solvers and plug-and-play engineers who can seamlessly integrate into tech firms, ready to drive 0-1X innovation journey.
2. Beyond Traditional Leadership: Move beyond conventional senior tech roles — this is an opportunity to create future engineering leaders straight out of college.
3. Solve the Talent Gap: Address one of the biggest challenges for founders — access to top-tier, industry-ready talent.
4. Lead a Community of Future Tech Leaders: Build and mentor a network of engineers who will define the future.

Requirements:

1. 14-18 years of tech experience with a tier 1 employer brand. Ex Tech founders or senior technologists preferred. Technical acumen is essential.
2. Passionate about education and creating future leaders through academics.
3. Responsible for creating a curriculum for students. Capable of developing curriculums on par with IITs and experienced in strategic partnerships with tech conglomerates.
4. Preferably from IITs and well-networked.

This role is about creating future leaders, not about scale. If scale is the only priority, then this role is not suited for you. It requires passion for developing future engineers and a strong desire to contribute to education.
