Karat is transforming organizations around the world. We provide a powerful system for technical leaders at companies like PayPal, Atlassian, and Citi who want to take control of how they hire top engineers, elevate their teams and contractors, and stay ahead. At the core of Karat’s system are live, expert-led interviews, analytics designed to give leaders maximum visibility, and the most robust interview performance dataset in the world.
Our Engineering team builds the infrastructure, reporting, and data products that turn Karat’s unique interview and performance data into meaningful insights. We partner across Product, Engineering, Data Science, Analytics, and the business to create a reliable data foundation and to improve how Karat understands, uses, and delivers data.
As Director of Engineering, India, you will lead and grow Karat’s India-based engineering organization. You will report to the Vice President of Engineering and work closely with engineering leaders and teams in the United States.
You will own engineering delivery for multiple product areas and features, from technical approach through dependable launch and ongoing operation. You start as a hands-on leader while you grow the India engineering team so that you can delegate product and feature ownership over time. You will also be a cross-company leader and resource for India-based employees and their global counterparts, helping teams build strong working relationships, navigate local needs, and operate effectively as one company.
This position requires a schedule that overlaps with U.S. business hours.
