Lead Engineer – Trustwise (India)

Role

Trustwise is seeking a highly skilled and innovative Lead Engineer to join our team in India. This is a hands-on individual contributor role with leadership responsibilities, focused on implementing our Trust Layer for GenAI systems using our core tech stack of Kubernetes, Rust, Python, and TypeScript. You will
lead a team of engineers in India, taking complete ownership of assigned work areas while ensuring alignment with the company’s overall technical direction.

The ideal candidate is a technically proficient engineer with excellent engineering fundamentals who excels at execution, ownership, and delivering results with minimal supervision. You will be writing code daily while also providing technical guidance to your team. This role requires deep technical expertise in
Python and our broader stack, excellent communication skills, and the ability to take full ownership of your assigned domain within our GenAI trust platform.

Applicants seeking a conventional corporate environment with extensive guidance or predictable work schedules may not be a good fit. This role requires self-direction, hands-on coding, ownership mentality, and genuine passion for Trustwise’s mission of building the trust layer for GenAI systems.

Key Responsibilities:

As a Lead Engineer at Trustwise, you will be entrusted with a pivotal role in our engineering department, with key responsibilities including:

  • Hands-on Development: Spend a significant portion of your time (50%+) writing code, reviewing pull requests, and directly contributing to the codebase. This is not a management-only position but requires deep technical engagement.
  • Technical Implementation: Drive the implementation of features and components for our GenAI trust platform using our core tech stack. Apply excellent engineering fundamentals to ensure high-quality code, performance optimization, and robust security measures.
  • Domain Ownership: Take complete ownership of your assigned functional area within our GenAI trust platform. Drive implementation, testing, and maintenance with minimal supervision or hand-holding.
  • Team Leadership: Lead a team of engineers in India, providing day-to-day guidance, mentorship, and technical direction. Translate high-level requirements into concrete tasks and deliverables for your team.
  • Testing Ownership: Develop and implement comprehensive testing strategies for your assigned domain, ensuring robust validation of GenAI trust mechanisms. Build and maintain automated testing pipelines that verify functionality and performance.
  • Global Collaboration: Effectively collaborate with engineering teams across different geographies, ensuring clear communication, alignment on goals, and cohesive implementation of features.

Qualifications/Skills:

To excel in this role, candidates must bring a unique combination of skills and experiences:

  • Hands-on Development: Spend a significant portion of your time (50%+) writing code, reviewing pull requests, and directly contributing to the codebase. This is not a management-only position but requires deep technical engagement.
  • Technical Implementation: Drive the implementation of features and components for our GenAI trust platform using our core tech stack. Apply excellent engineering fundamentals to ensure high-quality code, performance optimization, and robust security measures.
  • Domain Ownership: Take complete ownership of your assigned functional area within our GenAI trust platform. Drive implementation, testing, and maintenance with minimal supervision or hand-holding.
  • Team Leadership: Lead a team of engineers in India, providing day-to-day guidance, mentorship, and technical direction. Translate high-level requirements into concrete tasks and deliverables for your team.

  • Global Collaboration: Effectively collaborate with engineering teams across different geographies, ensuring clear communication, alignment on goals, and cohesive implementation of features.

To be a strong fit, you also need:

  • Continuous Learning: Commitment to ongoing skill development, particularly in GenAI trust systems and our technical stack.
  • Execution Focus: Strong emphasis on execution and delivery. Ability to convert high-level direction into tangible results without extensive guidance.
  • Ownership Mentality: Deep sense of accountability for your assigned domain, with the drive to see tasks through to completion and proactively solve problems that arise.
  • Technical Leadership: Ability to provide technical direction to a team while remaining hands-on with implementation details. This is not a pure management role.
  • Self-Direction: Capability to work with minimal supervision, making sound technical decisions and managing priorities independently.
  • Technical Adaptability: Flexibility to shift focus and priorities as business needs evolve, adjusting your team’s efforts to remain aligned with changing company direction.
  • Cross-Cultural Collaboration: Experience working effectively in global teams with diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

Nice-to-Have Skills and Experiences:

  • Technical Depth: Deep expertise in one or more areas of our stack, such as Rust, TypeScript, Helm, Kubernetes, or GenAI integration.
  • Technical Integration: Experience integrating different components of GenAI systems and ensuring they work together seamlessly.
  • Full-Stack Implementation: Experience implementing both frontend and backend components using our core technologies (Rust, Python, TypeScript, Kubernetes).
  • CI/CD Pipeline Experience: Experience setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines that align with established engineering practices and standards.
  • Open Source Contributions: History of contributions to relevant open source projects, demonstrating both technical skills and collaborative coding practices.
  • Industry Experience: Prior experience in industries where trust, compliance, and verification are critical, such as finance, healthcare, or enterprise SaaS.


Your leadership in this role will directly contribute to establishing Trustwise as the premier provider of trust solutions for generative AI systems, ensuring these powerful technologies can be deployed responsibly across industries.
