Role: Senior Staff Engineer (Founding Team)

Work Arrangement: Work from Home

Location: India

Schedule: Night shift

Job description:

You will be M&S's first full-time engineer and the founding hire on a new Product & Technology team. For the first several months you are largely on your own on the

engineering side.

The Director of IT owns systems context and IT operations. The Partner & CTO owns direction and partner-facing strategy. You own the build. Year one is hands-on. You build AI tools and applications that serve both internal teams and clients from day one — the integration substrate, the agent platform, and the LLM based products M&S puts in front of clients all start in parallel. The client-facing surface deepens as the AI capability matures. This is where the firm's longer-term tech differentiation lives, and the role grows over time, shaped by the work and the team that forms around you.

Non-negotiable skills and requirements:

• 10+ years of professional software development. That's a floor, not a preference.
• Has architected one production system end-to-end on Azure. You should be able to walk through the services they chose, the trade-offs, and what failed in production. Certifications on their own aren't enough.
• Has shipped at least one production LLM-backed system (an agent, a RAG pipeline, or an LLM integration) with real users.
• End-to-end ownership across the layers. Writes the code, deploys it, writes the IaC, owns the observability and the on-call. Not someone who hands off to a platform, SRE, or ops team. M&S doesn't have any of those.
• Willing to overlap 4 to 5 hours daily with US Central.
• write and shipped code personally in the last 12 months, has owned something running in production, and uses AI coding tools day to day.

Perks & Benefits:

• Comprehensive health and life insurance on your 16th day of employment, covering 1 free dependent on the 16th day of employment
• Flexible leave credits which may be used for vacation, emergency and sick leaves
• Quarterly perks boxes for WFH staff, offering groceries and snacks to keep you fueled
• Superb and exciting Mid-Year Parties – with items to give away and cash prizes!
• Endless opportunities for career advancement
• Annual Performance Review with Salary Increase
• We set you up for success with a company-provided PC/Laptop and fiber internet connection
• Tech-on-wheels Support
• Participate and join our CS Social Clubs and Special Interest Groups to connect with colleagues
• International career growth and connections
• Unlimited cash incentives for hired referrals
• Mental Wellness Employee Assistance program through Lifeworks
• In-house psychiatrist available to support employees well-being
• Become part of the Employee Share Units program
• Cloudstaff Dream Points - To be used for bidding useful items like appliances, kitchenettes etc.
