About Meraki Labs
Meraki Labs is at the forefront of Indias deep-tech innovation landscape operating as a dynamic venture studio founded by visionary entrepreneurs Mukesh Bansal (Founder Myntra Cure Fit) and Peeyush Ranjan (Former Google VP and Flipkart CTO). Our mission is to build and rapidly scale AI-first moonshot startupstransforming groundbreaking ideas into next-generation industry leaders. We partner closely with exceptional founders helping their ventures go from concept to impact.
The Role
You ship production-grade products in weeks not quarters. You are an AI-native generalist who treats modern AI IDEs as a force multiplier but you own the architecture the quality and the production-readiness that AI cant. Youll be one of two engineers on a single startup idea acting as a high-output IC while setting the technical rails and mentoring your Full Stack partner. You report to the problem and often directly to the founder.
What Youll Do
Ship 0-to-1: Take an ambiguous problem statement from a founder and turn it into a live production-grade product in weeks frontend backend data and integrations.
Build AI-native: Use Cursor / Windsurf / Claude Code / Copilot as your default workflow. You have strong opinions on where they accelerate you and where they need a human architect.
Own the whole stack: Modern frontend backend services data layer and third-party LLM API integrations. No throwing work over a wall.
Set the rails: Establish architecture code standards and review discipline for your Junior FS partner so velocity doesnt become tech debt.
Make production-grade calls: Auth security error handling observability and graceful failure you know the difference between a demo and a system that survives real users.
What Were Looking For
The Range: Genuine full-stack depth you can own a React/Next frontend and a backend service with equal confidence.
AI-Native Velocity: A track record of shipping real products fast with AI tooling. We flex on years for the right portfolio a sharp builder who ships beats a long résumé that doesnt.
Production Taste: You instinctively harden what you build. Youve scaled something real and felt the consequences of cutting the wrong corner.
Founder-Grade Ownership: High autonomy high accountability and the EQ to mentor a junior partner rather than just out-code them.
Bias to Ship: Comfort with ambiguity and a deep discomfort with sitting still.
Technical Keywords We Value
Frontend: React TypeScript Tailwind.
Backend: / Python / Java (language-agnostic); REST/GraphQL; PostgreSQL.
AI-Native Dev: Cursor Windsurf Claude Code GitHub Copilot v0.
AI App Layer: LLM API integration (OpenAI / Anthropic) RAG pipelines vector DBs (Pinecone / pgvector).
Cloud: AWS preferred or GCP/Azure. Docker and Kubernetes.
