Job Title

We're not looking for a manager. We're looking for a builder who leads. WTF Gyms (Witness The Fitness) is one of India's fastest-growing fitness-tech companies — 50+ gym locations, 26,000+ members, and a proprietary technology platform (WTF OS) powering everything from lead management and CRM to AI-driven revenue engines, WhatsApp bots, and live member apps. We build everything in-house. Our stack runs on Node.Js, PostgreSQL, React, Next.Js, Flutter, and AWS — and we're scaling fast across multiple product verticals: Member App, Trainer App, Amplify CRM, Digi Gym, WTF ELITE, AI Revenue Engine, and more. Our founder is technical. He architects systems, codes, and leads product thinking. What we need now is someone who can take that baton and run — someone who can own engineering delivery, lead a growing team, and still open a code editor and ship. What you'll own - Full ownership of WTF's engineering roadmap across 6+ live product verticals running simultaneously - Architecture decisions — from database schema design to API structure to deployment pipelines - Engineering team leadership — hiring, mentoring, sprint planning, code reviews, and delivery accountability - WTF OS platform — our core tech backbone connecting gyms, members, trainers, payments, and AI modules - Cross-functional collaboration with product, operations, and the founder to translate business problems into technical solutions - Setting engineering standards — coding practices, documentation, QA processes, deployment protocols, and on-call culture - Making the technology bets — when to scale, when to refactor, when to introduce a new tool or service What we're looking for Must-haves: - 7–10 years of engineering experience, with the last 2–3 years in a lead or principal role - Hands-on, still-coding — you should be comfortable jumping into a Node.Js service or debugging a PostgreSQL query yourself, not just reviewing PRs - Experience building and scaling multi-product environments — not just one app, but parallel products with shared infrastructure - Deep expertise in PostgreSQL — schema design, query optimization, indexing, performance tuning - Strong command of Node.Js (Express/Fastify) for scalable API development - React/Next.Js on the frontend — not a specialist, but genuinely comfortable - AWS hands-on — EC2, RDS, S3, deployment pipelines, environment management - Experience managing engineering teams of 8–20 people - Product-first mindset — you think about the business problem before you think about the code Strong advantages: - Experience with Flutter or React Native for mobile - Familiarity with AI integrations — OpenAI, LLMs, real-time systems, WebSockets - Has worked at a product startup, not just services or large enterprises - Has scaled a platform from early-stage to significant user volumes - Daily user of AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) What this is NOT - This is not a pure management role. If you haven't written production code in the last 6 months, this isn't the right fit. - This is not a slow-moving corporate environment. We move fast, make decisions quickly, and expect the same. - This is not a role for someone who needs a large team and long planning cycles to ship anything. What you get - Direct partnership with a technical founder — you'll have real authority and real accountability - The rare opportunity to architect and scale a multi-product fintech + fitness-tech platform from the inside - A team that's already building — you're accelerating something real, not starting from scratch - Competitive CTC: ₹40–70L depending on experience and profile - ESOP opportunity for the right candidate - Noida/Delhi NCR base with a high-ownership, startup-pace culture If this sounds like the role you've been waiting for — we'd love to talk. Apply here or reach out directly. We move fast on strong profiles.
