Your work will be evaluated in terms of both pace and output quality. You will be expected to adhere to internal deadlines and keep up with the pace set by management.For full performance evaluation criteria:Who You AreThe technical skills matter. But this section matters more.We are looking for someone who takes ownership before being asked &mdash; who sees a problem and solves it without waiting for a task list. Someone who measures themselves by outcomes, not activity. Who is honest, even when it&rsquo;s uncomfortable. Reliable, not occasionally but consistently. And resourceful enough to treat every dollar spent like it&rsquo;s coming out of their own pocket.If that description doesn&rsquo;t fit you naturally, this role will be a poor fit.You Think RigorouslyYour thought process is disciplined. You verify before you assert. You distinguish between facts, inferences, and conclusions &mdash; and you never conflate the three. You test your assumptions before acting on them, and you&rsquo;re willing to challenge your own hypotheses when the evidence points elsewhere.You resist the temptation to treat incomplete data as certainty. In a world saturated with AI-generated content, the ability to evaluate what is actually true &mdash; not just what sounds true &mdash; is among the most valuable skills you bring to this role. You are the quality filter. Not the other way around.You Use AI as a Tool, Not a CrutchWe use AI extensively, and we expect you to as well. But we are looking for someone who thinks independently first and uses AI to sharpen that thinking &mdash; not someone who outsources their judgment to a model and forwards the output.Claude Code, in particular, should feel like a natural extension of how you work &mdash; not something you&rsquo;re learning on the job. You will know when it&rsquo;s wrong. You will know when it&rsquo;s shallow. And you will apply the human layer of thinking that no prompt can replicate.You Are Savvy with ResourcesYou treat budget like it&rsquo;s your own money. You identify the leanest path to an outcome and question every tool, subscription, and workflow that doesn&rsquo;t earn its cost. You don&rsquo;t accumulate software &mdash; you audit it. You don&rsquo;t add vendors &mdash; you justify them.We have seen what happens when someone in this seat builds without cost awareness. We are not going back.Operating PrinciplesThese are not resume keywords. They are the standards we hold ourselves to &mdash; and what we will be evaluating in the first 30 days.<ul><li>Mature &mdash; You handle pressure, ambiguity, and feedback like a professional</li><li>Reliable &mdash; Your commitments mean something</li><li>Honest &mdash; You tell the truth about progress, blockers, and mistakes</li><li>Goal-Focused &mdash; You optimize for outcomes, not the appearance of busyness</li><li>Autonomous &mdash; You make sound decisions independently and move forward without hand-holding</li><li>Accountable &mdash; You own your results fully, including the bad ones</li><li>Expeditious &mdash; You move with urgency and respect that time is the scarcest resource</li><li>Resourceful &mdash; You find the leanest path and question every cost that doesn&rsquo;t earn its place</li><li>Responsible &mdash; You are drawn toward responsibility, not away from it</li></ul>Job Type: Full-timePay: Rs363,000.00 per monthEducation:<ul><li>Master's (Preferred)</li></ul>Language:<ul><li>English (Preferred)</li></ul>Work Location: In person
