AiStudio is an AI consultancy that partners with private equity firms by embedding engineers directly inside their portfolio companies. We don’t sell software from the sidelines—instead, we deploy our engineers into businesses to build and launch AI solutions that drive core metrics: cost savings, automation, and revenue. Our projects span from workflow automations powering firm-wide operations to AI-enhanced due diligence systems.
The Role: Lead Product Engineer
As a Lead Product Engineer, you’ll serve as the technical owner for high-impact client engagements within dynamic product startups. You’ll scope what gets built, own architecture decisions, ship the product, and be the point person when executive stakeholders need results. You’ll also lead and mentor the engineering team, maintaining high technical standards from inception to delivery.
What You’ll Do
Lead client engagements end-to-end, from initial scoping to delivering systems that are integral to business operations
Make key architecture and build decisions—including identifying what shouldn’t be built
Translate business objectives into technical requirements, working closely with senior stakeholders at PE firms and portfolio companies
Mentor and set standards for the engineering team working under you
Identify and develop further opportunities within current accounts once embedded
What We Look For
3–7 years of engineering experience, with a background working at a product startup and leading engineering teams
Significant experience as either a Lead Product Engineer, with direct ownership over shipping production systems
Expertise in architecture decisions for scalable, maintainable products
Strong leadership abilities; you’re comfortable mentoring engineers and leading technical discussions
Confident communicator: you can engage effectively with executives and translate technical decisions into business impact
Proven judgment in prioritizing development—knowing what’s worth building and what isn’t
If you are excited to lead high-stakes projects at the intersection of engineering and business impact, we’d love to hear from you.

Experience: 4–7 years · Location: India (Remote) · Engagement: Full-time
The Value Creation Strategist owns the delivery layer at AiStudio. You will run the operating system that turns client engagements into shipped outcomes — managing the weekly cadence, driving multiple parallel projects to close, and partnering with founders on client strategy. This is a senior, high-ownership role with direct visibility into every engagement and a clear path into a leadership seat as we scale.
Delivery across the engagement portfolio — multiple parallel projects, each with defined timelines, milestones, and quality bars.
The weekly operating rhythm — sprint planning with founders, identifying blockers with the engineering team.
Client engagement health — joint ownership with founders on key relationships, leading project updates, anticipating client needs, and surfacing risks early.
Internal operating systems — building the tooling, templates, and rituals that let us scale delivery without losing quality.
Cross-functional coordination — interfacing with developers, designers, and external partners to keep engagements moving.
This role is the foundation of AiStudio's delivery function. As we scale, you will help shape how we structure pods, hire delivery talent, and architect the operating model for a services firm. The right person grows into a Director of Delivery or Head of Operations seat within 18–24 months.
Operator's mindset — You think in systems and rhythms. You see a process gap and you build the fix.
Client-grade communicator — You can hold a room with senior PE/VC stakeholders, write a crisp update, and translate ambiguity into clarity.
Delivery instinct — You have shipped complex projects with cross-functional teams. You know what slips, why, and how to prevent it.
Comfortable in ambiguity — You thrive in environments where the playbook is being written. You bring structure without bureaucracy.
Commercially aware — You understand that delivery and commercial outcomes are linked, and you optimise for both.
4–7 years in delivery, engagement management, or operations at a consulting firm, agency, or fast-growing services business.
Track record of running multiple parallel client engagements with senior stakeholders.
Exposure to technology, AI, or data projects — you partner well with engineering teams.
Senior India-market compensation (INR), benchmarked to leading consulting and startup operator roles. Direct reporting line to the founders.
