<div><div><div><div><div><b>Why Consider Leading the Engineering at Hevo</b><br>
At Hevo, you will be leading the team working on one of the most technically challenging and impactful problems in modern data infrastructure: building a highly reliable, fault-tolerant data pipeline that powers decision-making for 2000+ enterprise companies across 40+ countries, including industry leaders like Shopify, DoorDash, Postman, and Zepto.<br>
<br>
<b>The Core Challenge</b><br>
Companies today run on hundreds of business applications and databases. Each of these data sources evolves constantly. The structure of the data can change without warning, APIs behave unpredictably, and edge cases surface every day. Yet our customers rely on Hevo to unify all this data into their warehouses at internet scale.<br>
<br>
<b>Scale &amp; Technology</b><br>
The scale we operate at captures the magnitude of our engineering challenges<br>
<ul><li>2000 companies across 40+ countries use Hevo.</li><li>150+ data sources with pre-built, battle-tested connectors</li><li>200GB/hour data transfer rate for each pipeline</li><li>About 40k Pipelines</li><li>6 billion events processed per day</li><li>1PB+ data processed monthly</li></ul>
Our tech stack is built for this scale: AWS Fargate, Apache Kafka, RocksDB, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, InfluxDB, and Temporal, orchestrating multiple microservices across multi-tenant, auto-scaling infrastructure.<br>
<br>
<b>AI at the Core, Not Just the Surface</b><br>
At Hevo, we build the infrastructure that makes AI possible in the first place. Without reliable, high-quality data, RAG breaks with stale or missing documents, agents hallucinate and take wrong actions, and copilots surface responses that can&rsquo;t be trusted.<br>
Beyond powering AI with clean, trustworthy data, we&rsquo;re actively embedding AI directly into the heart of our core product. For example, one of our core initiatives is around building agents that behave like developers - autonomously creating, testing, and validating new data connectors.<br>
<br>
<b>Work with the Best Engineering Minds</b><br>
You'll be working alongside engineers who've built systems at scale before at companies like Flipkart, Amazon, Linkedin, Microsoft, Oracle and Razorpay. These are smart, kind, and hardworking colleagues who bring deep expertise in distributed systems and are passionate about solving complex technical problems.<br>
<br>
<b>Why This Work Matters</b><br>
Unlike much of the work in large organizations, the problems that engineering solves at Hevo are deeply technical and core to the company&rsquo;s mission. Your work is not an add-on. It is the foundation. Every design decision directly impacts data reliability for some of the fastest-growing companies in the world.<br>
<br>
<b>Unique Advantage of Building at Hevo India</b><br>
There are very few companies in India that build true data infrastructure products at this scale. In most global companies, the most complex and challenging engineering work happens outside India, while local teams handle peripheral or execution-heavy roles.<br>
Hevo is different. Our entire engineering team is based in India. Every engineer works on the toughest problems, has full visibility into the product architecture, and contributes directly to the company's core technology. The learning and the impact are real and immediate.<br>
<br>
<b>Who Should Not Join Hevo</b><br>
Hevo is not for everyone. We are solving deeply complex technical problems that demand rigor, creativity, and persistence. You may not be a fit if:<br>
<ul><li>You do not enjoy working on complex challenges or diving deep into the crux of a problem</li><li>You are not passionate about building high-performance, high-quality, and scalable products used by thousands of large-scale customers</li><li>You are looking for a settled role in a company that moves at a slow and steady pace. At Hevo, we move fast, but without breaking things</li></ul><br>
<b>
Join Us</b><br>
We're at the perfect inflection point. We are at a scale where the technical challenges are massive but the team is still small enough that every engineer shapes the product's architecture and future.<br>
The data infrastructure market is exploding. AI is creating unprecedented demand for reliable, real-time data. And we're building the foundational technology that will power the next generation of AI-native companies.<br>
<br>
<b>Qualification</b><br>
<ul><li>15+ years of experience</li><li>Bachelor&rsquo;s degree in Computer Science or related field required; Master&rsquo;s degree preferred</li></ul></div></div></div></div></div><br>
<div><div>
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.</div></div></div>

Dash0

<div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>About Dash0</b></h3><p>
Join Dash0 and help us define the future of observability. We are OpenTelemetry-native, building a delightful, simple, and AI-centric platform that eliminates vendor lock-in and meaningless toil. Shape a product that developers love&mdash;all with transparent pricing and cost-control built in.</p><p><b>
The Opportunity</b></p><p>
Dash0's AI product, Agent0, is not a chatbot or a feature add-on. It is the core of where we are heading. As AI writes more code, software reaches production faster and at greater scale, often with less human understanding of what is actually running. To ship at agentic speed, you need to be able to run production at agentic speed. This is what Agent0 does. It scans your telemetry, connects to your codebase, and fixes issues before you even notice them. Then it closes the loop and helps you improve your system.
</p><p>We are looking for a Director of Engineering for our AI team: a rare combination of visionary and doer. You will own the engineering of Agent0, leading a growing team and working in close partnership with Product, VP Engineering, and the rest of the Dash0 team.
</p><p>This is a product engineering role. You are responsible for building and shipping Agent0, not enabling AI across the company. You will lead the team that defines, designs, and delivers the product. We would love you to be hands-on: prototyping ideas, evaluating new models, sparring with staff engineers on architecture, and setting the bar for what great AI engineering looks like in production. At the same time, you are the person who keeps the team focused and ships real value to customers, not just chasing the latest shiny thing.</p><p></p><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
What You&rsquo;ll Do</b></h1><ul><li><p>
Co-own the Agent0 roadmap with Product, drive execution with discipline and consistency, and ensure what the team builds is grounded in what customers actually need.
</p></li><li><p>Drive delivery and focus. Pick the right bets, ship them, and keep the team away from the many interesting-but-not-now directions the AI landscape constantly offers.
</p></li><li><p>Hire, mentor, and grow a team of senior software and AI engineers. Manage managers as the team scales.
</p></li><li><p>Set the standard for production-grade AI engineering: evaluation pipelines, context management, testing strategies, and the kind of rigour applied to any mission-critical system.
</p></li><li><p>Stay genuinely current with foundation models, agentic architectures, and the broader AI ecosystem, and translate that knowledge into concrete product decisions and prototypes.
</p></li><li><p>Build proofs of concept yourself, earn credibility with senior ICs by showing rather than telling, and bring the team along on the journey.
</p></li><li><p>Champion AI production excellence internally and represent Dash0's perspective on how AIassisted systems should be built and operated in production.</p></li></ul><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
What You Bring</b></h1><ul><li><p>
A proven track record building agentic AI products in production. You understand the profound difference between an internal chatbot and a productised agent that customers depend on for mission-critical work.
