Mojro Technologies

Bangalore

Full-time

814 Years

What We Do

Mojro is a logistics automation platform solving NP-Hard route and load optimization problems at scale for enterprise customers like Asian Paints, Cargill, Unilever, and P&G. Our algorithms move goods across India smarter, faster, and with fewer kilometres wasted. If you have never seen a constraint-satisfaction engine running at 2,500 RPS on a Tuesday morning, you will at Mojro.

Why This Role Exists

We are not hiring a senior developer with a fancy title. We are hiring a leader who can do the work, explain the work, improve the work, and pull a team of sharp engineers toward harder problems all at once.

You will join as one of a small number of Staff Engineers who collectively own the engineering quality bar at Mojro. You will report to the Head of Engineering, work directly with Principal Architects, and your decisions will ship to production.

The Person We Are Looking For

We Do Not Manage By Title. We Build By Trust, Move By Clarity, And Grow By Challenge. Here Is What Matters To Us More Than Any Skill Checklist

Still Writes Code

You are not done with the keyboard. You review PRs with comments, not just approvals. Your opinions on system design come from having built the system.

Sees the Whole Board

You track technical debt, delivery timelines, team health, and customer impact simultaneously. You know which one to pull first.

AI-Native Builder

You actively use AI coding tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code), measure their impact on your team, and make informed bets on where AI accelerates and where it misleads.

Radically Candid

You challenge ideas in the room, not in the corridor. You give feedback that is direct but kind to your team and upward. You can disagree and commit.

Runs on Objectives

You break ambiguity into clear goals, communicate them with context, and hold yourself and your team accountable. You do not need a manager to tell you what matters.

Builder of Builders

You are remembered by the engineers who grew under you. You create pull, not pressure. Your best move is making your team not need you.

What You Will Own

Technical Leadership

Lead a pod of 58 engineers across backend and frontend. Architect and review, not just approve.

Delivery

Drive sprint cadence, unblock bottlenecks, and ship features that enterprise customers stake their operations on.

AI Tooling Adoption

Champion the use of AI coding tools across your team. Measure productivity. Present findings. Drive decisions.

Quality & Reliability

Own the team’s quality bar automated test coverage, performance benchmarks, RCA rigour.

Mentorship

Run 1:1s with intent. Grow senior engineers toward staff, mid-level toward senior. Make learning a team ritual.

Cross-Team Influence

Work with Principal Architects, Product, and CSM to shape roadmap, surface technical risks, and defend the right calls.

The Stack

You do not need to know all of this. You need to lead engineers who do, and you need to learn fast what you do not.
