Senior EM, Head of Engineering, or hands-on Director roles where I own a real system and its team — not a delivery seat. Best fit: AI infrastructure and agentic platforms, fintech/payments/fraud, trust & safety, or LLMs meeting financial markets. Product or infra companies with a strong engineering culture. Remote from Hyderabad or hybrid; open to relocating for the right role.

Eng leader: 15-person team, fraud decisioning at 5,000 TPS for top telecoms, LLM/MCP in production. Ex-Swiggy, Eventbrite, Invesco. FRM.
What I'm looking for
I'm an engineering leader with 15 years in software and six leading teams, working at the intersection of real-time systems at scale, LLM systems in production, and financial services.
Now. At Tanla Platforms I lead a 15-person team of engineers and data scientists. Our main product, Wisely AI, is real-time scam and spam prevention for Indosat (Indonesia's largest telecom) and two of India's top three carriers: 5,000+ TPS with peaks of 15,000 inside a 20 ms SLA, on-prem across two data centres on Go, Aerospike, ClickHouse, Postgres and NATS, ~2B messages and calls a month. It has detected 4.7B scam/spam interactions, alerted 18.6M customers, and now removes ~88M scam SMS a month; the operator's anti-scam product scores CSAT 75–87 and NPS +20.
We also built WiseAlbert, a conversational BI layer over the full call-record corpus (modified Rill on ClickHouse, exposed via MCP), and Apple's Live Caller ID Lookup — a homomorphic-encryption / PIR service in Go, shipped through twelve App Store rejections. The team is now building India's TRAI consent platform: data-blind, AES-GCM-256, AI-scored enterprise KYB with human approval. I introduced Tanla's AI-native development lifecycle and led its org-wide adoption.
Before. Staff Engineer at Eventbrite, tech-leading 11 engineers on surfaces serving 135M sessions/month (homepage re-architecture to Next.js: Core Web Vitals +50%, CTR +4%). Staff Engineer at Swiggy's Suprdaily (location intelligence, last-mile delivery). Head of Engineering at Hyprful — built the stack 0→1, hired the team, acquired by Swiggy. Principal Engineer and founding member of Invesco Vision, Invesco's portfolio-management platform. Earlier: EY risk-tech consulting, American Express credit-risk analytics, IBM.
Finance. FRM charterholder, Masters in Finance. I build AlphaForge, a systematic trading research system for Indian F&O markets with a walk-forward backtester and a live multi-agent LLM pipeline on AWS.
Stack. Go, Python, TypeScript; Vue and Next; AWS, Kubernetes, event-driven and on-prem systems; LLM serving, evals, MCP, agent orchestration.
Looking for. Senior EM, Head of Engineering, or hands-on Director roles owning a real system and team — AI infrastructure, fintech/payments/fraud, or trust & safety. Remote from Hyderabad (good overlap with Asia and Europe); Hyderabad hybrid also works.
