Full Job Description
We are an early stage observability platform being built within ixigo, one of India's leading travel tech companies. Starting as an internal tool to solve real AI monitoring problems we face at scale, we are taking it to market as a standalone product. If you have ever wanted to build something that changes how engineering teams work at a fundamental level, this is that moment. What You Will Build Our product sits inside the developer's existing workflow. When something breaks in production, it detects it, reasons about it across logs, traces, and code history, writes a fix, and files it as a pull request. The engineer reviews. The loop closes without a 2am page. As the founding engineer, you will own the core of this: * The agent runtime that orchestrates detection, investigation, and fix generation * Integrations with error monitoring ingestion pipelines and telemetry sources * Code analysis and patch generation across real production codebases * The SDK that engineering teams drop in to connect their stack to our product * Infrastructure that runs reliably at the scale of production error volume What We Are Looking For This is not a role with a defined scope. The right person sees an incomplete system and moves toward it. Concretely: * You have built and shipped production systems at scale — distributed systems, platform infrastructure, or developer tooling * You are comfortable working across the full stack of a problem: from telemetry ingestion to LLM orchestration to the PR that lands in a developer's queue * You have opinions about system design and the confidence to defend them, and the self-awareness to change them * You write code that other engineers enjoy reading * You have worked with or alongside observability systems — OpenTelemetry, tracing, log pipelines, APM — either as a builder or as a heavy user * You move fast without leaving structural debt that becomes someone else's problem Why This Role Is Different * You are not joining a team. You are set
