Lead Forward Deployed Engineer

MARINELINES

Job Specification :

Deploy AI in workflows

• Map how counselling, admissions, documentation and follow-up work.
• Coordinate with the department head and founder, agree on business metric before code is written.
• Enquiry-to-enrolment conversion, counsellor hours per student, application turnaround time, documentation error rate.
• Build it into the systems the team already uses, run it at real volume

Lead the engineering team

• Manage three people: Saloni, one intern, and one junior engineer still to be hired.
• Set the standards for how we ship - what gets reviewed, what gets tested, what never reaches production unchecked.
• Your team handles day-to-day reliability and tooling; you own whether it holds up.

Own the systems you build

• You also integrate with existing builds: NetMind (Contacts tool - Lovable, Supabase, MCP server wired into Claude) and the Acomodo surfaces - acomodomap.com, Connect and the Supply Site.
• These are used in live outreach and partner conversations.

Build tools that compound

• Small, high-leverage internal tools that make employees measurably faster - counsellor dashboards, document chasing, branch reporting, lease and availability tracking. What we are looking for

• 2-4 years building and shipping software that real users depend on.

• Experience mentoring or leading at least one other developer.

• Genuinely fast with AI-assisted development (Claude, Cursur, Lovable or equivalent) and able to read, debug and fix what comes out of it.

• Comfortable across that stack: front end, API s, databases (Postgres / Supabase), deployment.

• Have integrated with systems you did not build - CRMs, spreadsheets, third-party APIs, processes held together by Whatsapp.

• Willing to study existing workflow before proposing anything.

• Able to explain a technical decision in one page to a non-technical reader.

Great to have

• Education, study-abroad, or another high-volume, document-heavy, operations business.
• Prior work embedded withy business or operations teams rather than inside a product org.
• MCP servers and agentic tooling.
• Exposure to GDPR or UK/EU data handling.

How we work

• In-office in Mumbai, with regular time inside Edwise branches and occasional travel.
• Direct reporting to the founder.
