Why This Hire Matters

Fintech companies need to build compliant products at startup speed in a heavily regulated environment. Principal engineers shape multi-year technical direction — a mis-hire at this level doesn't just cost a salary, it can set architecture decisions back by years. Chennai's talent market is more relationship-driven than Bangalore's — referrals and network-based hiring outperform cold outreach significantly a good junior hire can grow into a senior contributor within 2 years — a bad one creates a performance management burden that drains team morale
