Who is Litmus

Litmus is building the data foundation that powers industrial AI.

AI doesn’t work without real-world, contextualized data - Litmus makes that data usable. As AI adoption accelerates, most industrial environments still can’t access or use their operational data. We solve that gap.

We’re a growth-stage software company helping manufacturers access, structure, and use real-time data from machines, systems, and sensors at the edge. Our platform sits at the intersection of edge computing, AI, and industrial operations, enabling some of the world’s largest companies to run operations in real time, reduce downtime, and optimize production.

Backed by leading investors and trusted by global manufacturers and partners like Google, Microsoft, Dell, Oracle, and Mitsubishi, Litmus is powering the shift toward software-defined manufacturing.

Why join Litmus

Build the infrastructure that makes industrial AI possible

AI is moving beyond the cloud and into the physical world. At Litmus, you’ll build the infrastructure that enables real-time data to power AI and machine learning systems in production environments.

Work on problems where software meets the real world

Most AI systems fail without access to real-world data. You’ll build the layer that makes them viable in production. We solve challenges at the intersection of distributed systems, real-time data, and industrial constraints — where reliability, scale, and performance are non-negotiable.

Have real impact, fast

You’ll work on systems used by real customers in production, with direct impact on product and company trajectory. As a scaling company, we move quickly. You’ll have ownership, visibility, and the ability to shape both product and company as we scale.

Join a high-performance team

We’re building a team that holds a high bar and pushes each other to improve. You’ll work alongside experienced operators, engineers, and leaders who have done this before and are building again at scale. We hire people who take ownership, move quickly, and care about outcomes. No passengers.

Our culture

At Litmus, the team is collaborative, curious, and low ego. People are scrappy, take ownership, and look for ways to make an impact. We value empathy just as much as execution, whether that’s in how we build, how we communicate, or how we support each other.

We’re a growing company, so things move quickly and not everything is perfectly defined. If you enjoy figuring things out, working closely with others, and making steady progress, you’ll do well here.

About the Role

As Lead Golang Developer, you will own the design, delivery, and production health of the Go services behind Litmus’s cloud and SaaS platform. You will lead a team of Go engineers building Kubernetes-based, high-performance distributed systems that ingest, process, and serve real-time industrial data at scale.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will write and review code every week, set the technical direction for your services, and be accountable for how they run in production for customers. The role is based in our Pune office and is fully in-office.

What You’ll Do

Lead a team of Go engineers: plan work, break down features, mentor, and run code and design reviews

Architect and build cloud-native, multi-tenant SaaS services in Go that are scalable, secure, and observable

Design high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems for real-time data ingestion, streaming, and processing

Deploy and operate services on Kubernetes, including Helm charts, operators, autoscaling, rollout strategies, and resource tuning

Own production reliability: define SLOs, lead incident response and root-cause analysis, and drive fixes to completion

Profile and optimize Go services for CPU, memory, concurrency, and network performance

Build and maintain gRPC and REST APIs, plus integrations with message brokers such as Kafka, NATS, or MQTT

Establish engineering standards for testing, CI/CD, code quality, security, and documentation

Partner with Product, QA, DevOps/SRE, and Edge teams to turn requirements into reliable releases
