Junior Full Stack Founding Engineer - Meraki Labs

Full Stack Engineer (AI-Native Builder) Experience: 4–7 yrs This is a 5-day on-site role from HSR, Bengaluru Immediate joiners preferred Kindly do not apply if - You want a remote/hybrid (this is onsite Bangalore only). - You prefer narrow tickets and minimal ambiguity. - You’re not excited about production engineering (monitoring, reliability, cost, latency). - You want a highly structured, slow-moving product organization. You are a great fit if... - You enjoy turning messy problems into concrete solutions - You thrive in fast-moving, low-process environments 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.
