Job description

Fynd is a frontier technology company. We started at the intersection of technology and retail because that is where technology was the least available. Over the years, we became one of India’s largest retail technology platforms. But retail was the entry point, not the boundary.

Today, Fynd builds intelligent software that runs business operations. Not tools that help people work faster, but systems that absorb entire functions: manufacturing, marketing, logistics, commerce, quality control. We sit inside our customers’ businesses, harvest deep domain context, and build AI systems that operate autonomously. We are expanding from retail into manufacturing, generative media, physical AI, and healthcare.

At Fynd Robotics , we’re pushing the envelope in autonomous systems, combining advanced robotics, AI, and embedded hardware to build next-gen solutions. As part of our team, you’ll work closely with engineers, fintech, operations, and logistics to shape how we source, build, and deliver robotic modules at scale.

We believe in ownership, radical transparency, and constant learning. Join us if you’re excited to get your hands dirty and build systems that will scale into real, deployed robot fleets.
