Job Description
This role is for one of our clients
Seniority level: Mid-Senior level
Industry: Content × Commerce
Experience: 6+ yrs
Location: Bengaluru
Job Type: full-time
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
Being a part of the founding team, you will help build core product — AI-powered content and creator storefronts, and the commerce infrastructure that connects content to purchase. You will be in the middle of the design, development, and deployment cycles, and will be fully hands-on.
WHAT YOU'LL BUILD
• Consumer-facing and WhatsApp commerce surfaces for curated commerce, based on OTT/ long form and other creator content and tastes
• AI-powered product catalog and matching pipelines using multimodal models
• Creator commerce storefronts — product listings, cart logic, affiliate integration
• Connecting to OTT platforms, social platforms, and brand catalog backends
• Internal tooling to help the team move fast: data pipelines, test harnesses Adapt and rebuild fast as the product, and use cases evolve
• TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
• Build and ship AI pipelines end-to-end — LLM APIs, multimodal models, embeddings, vector search
• Strong backend fundamentals across Python or Node.js — async queues, REST/ webhook integrations, and the ability to work with messy third-party APIs. Additionally, strong understanding of PostgreSQL, Redis, or a vector DB
• Mobile-capable — React Native preferred; can ship a working consumer-facing surface
• Data pipeline instinct — scraping, ingestion, cleaning, structuring unstructured content into something queryable Vibe-codes fluently — uses Cursor, v0, Bolt or equivalent as force multipliers; ships fast, doesn't wait for perfect specs
• WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• 6-8 years of hands-on engineering experience shipping products. Bengaluru-based
• Has handled real complexity — e-commerce, quick commerce, consumer tech, gaming, fintech, or AI-native products. Not large service-oriented organisations Bonus:
• Exposure to marketplace infrastructure — inventory, order state, seller/creator/ affiliate logic, catalog ingestion, cart/checkout flows, WhatsApp commerce
• Built something with an LLM, experimented with multimodal APIs, and have opinions about where models are useful. Genuine curiosity here is non-negotiable Comfortable with the uncertainty that comes with early-stage; understands that building something genuinely new means the map doesn't exist yet
• WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Founding team, and a direct line to working with the founders and Head, Engineering
• About The Company
Numinosity is building the commerce layer at the intersection of streaming, creators, and shopping intent. The thesis: aspirational commerce will be built around culture — films, shows, music, and mega creators — not utility marketplaces. We sit upstream, owning the desire inside this content.
