About Meraki Labs
Meraki Labs is at the forefront of India’s 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” startups—transforming groundbreaking ideas into next-generation industry leaders. We partner closely with exceptional founders, helping their ventures go from concept to impact.
The Role
You are part of a two-person founding engineering team. Paired with a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you build and ship features end-to-end across the stack; fast, AI-assisted, and owned through to production. You’re a generalist who does whatever the product needs that week, and you’re hungry to compound your range, working shoulder-to-shoulder with a senior builder.
What You’ll Do
Build across the stack: Own features from spec to production — frontend, backend, and the integrations in between.
Move fast with AI: Use AI IDEs to ship at speed, and own the quality of what you put your name on.
Run the day-to-day: Bugs, tests, and deploys — on the golden paths the SRE provides, under the rails your senior partner sets.
Compound quickly: Absorb architecture and production thinking from your senior partner and take on more ownership every sprint.
What We’re Looking For
The Experience: 4–7 years building real products full-stack.
AI-Native (or All-In): You already build with AI coding tools, or you’re ready to go all-in tomorrow.
Solid Fundamentals: Dependable across modern frontend and backend; you write code that holds up.
Generalist Mindset: Low ego, high output, willing to pick up whatever moves the product.
Coachable: You want a senior partner to learn from, not just a ticket queue.
Technical Keywords We Value
Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript.
Backend: Node.js / Python / Java (language-agnostic); REST/GraphQL; PostgreSQL.
AI-Native Dev: Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot.
AI App Layer: LLM API integration, basic RAG/vector DB familiarity.
Cloud: AWS/GCP/Azure basics, Docker.
Why This Role?
Direct mentorship from a senior builder on a tiny, high-trust team, enabling enterprise-level vibe coding.
Real ownership of shipped products from day one — no warming the bench.
A front-row seat to take an idea from zero to market.
Why Join Us?
An opportunity to directly work with founders.
High autonomy and ownership of the frontend roadmap.
Meaningful ESOP.
The chance to build in an AI-native environment.
Competitive compensation and the opportunity to shape the engineering culture of a growing team.
