- Gurugram
Experience: 8–14 years (Deep Tech + Product Engineering)
About Trusterra
TrusTerra is an AI-backed platform designed to transform the used electric vehicle (EV) resale market by tackling its most significant challenges: a lack of trust, standardization, and reliable resale value. The company’s mission is to create a transparent and trustworthy marketplace that benefits both buyers and
sellers of pre-owned EVs.
TrusTerra’s tech stack spans mobile apps for end users and partners, predictive AI/ML engines for EV health & pricing, and a backend designed to power instant liquidity for EV assets.
We are looking for an AVP of Engineering to architect, lead, and scale this platform. A hands-on, entrepreneurial technology leader who can combine product vision with engineering execution.
You will be the architect and custodian of TrusTerra’s technology, building and scaling:
• Mobile apps for instant resale, valuation, and financing
• Backend systems running predictive Battery RUL (Remaining Useful Life) models
• Data science infrastructure for EV health, range, and valuation models
• LLM-powered automation tools for data manipulation, and logic-driven decision workflows
The role reports directly to the Founders and will be responsible for end-to-end tech ownership, from design and architecture to model deployment and user experience.
Key Responsibilities
1. Product & Platform Architecture
• Design and oversee architecture of TrusTerra’s core platforms:
o Android and iOS apps for users and dealers
o Dealer and partner dashboards
o Data & analytics backend integrating IoT, telematics, and financial data
• Architect scalable APIs and microservices to enable seamless partner integrations (OEMs, financiers,
dealers).
• Ensure modular design to support expansion across new geographies and product lines.
2. AI, ML & Data Infrastructure
Collaborate with the Data Science team to design and productionize:
o Battery RUL and SoH (State of Health) models
o Vehicle valuation algorithms and risk scoring systems (TruEV Score™)
• Lead backend engineers to operationalize real-time predictions and data ingestion pipelines.
• Work on automation using LLMs (Large Language Models) for:
o Data cleaning and preprocessing
o Logic and rule automation
o Dynamic query interpretation and dataset manipulation
• Establish MLOps practices — model retraining, drift monitoring, and performance validation.
3. Application Development & Delivery
• Lead development of mobile apps (Android/iOS) — app architecture, UX flow, backend integration,
and deployment pipelines.
• Oversee frontend (React/Next.js) and backend (Python, Node.js, FastAPI, Django, etc.) teams.
• Define engineering sprints, delivery milestones, and release management.
• Ensure smooth data flow between apps, cloud, and analytics backend.
4. Leadership & Team Building
• Build and lead a strong engineering org; backend engineers, AI/ML specialists, DevOps, and product
developers.
• Mentor leads and developers; create ownership and accountability within the team.
• Establish best practices for code review, version control, security, and CI/CD.
• Create a collaborative culture that bridges product, design, data, and engineering seamlessly.
5. Strategic & Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Work directly with the Founders on product strategy, roadmap, and execution.
• Collaborate with the CEO’s office, operations, and product to design features and implement
feedback loops.
• Support fundraising discussions with technology insights, scalability, defensibility, and innovation
edge.
• Present architecture and AI capabilities to investors and partners.
Technical Skills & Background
Core Must-Haves
• 8–14 years of experience in software engineering, with 3–5 years in a leadership or architectural role.
• Proven experience building consumer applications (preferably Android/iOS and backend platforms).
• Expertise in backend frameworks — Python (FastAPI, Django) or Node.js, and cloud
(AWS/Azure/GCP).
• Strong understanding of data modeling, time-series analytics, and API architecture.
• Hands-on with machine learning or data science production pipelines.
• Experience with MLOps tools and LLM integration is a strong plus.
Preferred
Worked in mobility, EV-tech, fintech, or AI-led product startups.
• Built or led products involving IoT data ingestion, battery analytics, or valuation algorithms.
• Experience with LLMs, LangChain, vector databases, and automation frameworks.
• Comfort with DevOps / CI-CD and infrastructure-as-code (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform).
• Excellent grasp of software scalability, security, and performance optimization.
Key Attributes
• Founder mindset – high ownership, execution-driven, and resourceful.
• Strong product thinking – builds tech that solves real user problems, not just elegant systems.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and 0→1 environments.
• Collaborative communicator – able to translate tech for business and vice versa.
• A natural team builder who inspires trust, clarity, and momentum.
Why Join TrusTerra
• Build India’s first AI-powered EV resale & financing platform.
• Lead technology for a company shaping the EV circular economy.
