Why This Hire Matters

Saas companies need to grow recurring revenue while maintaining product reliability and reducing churn. Engineering leads who can balance hands-on coding with team enablement are among the hardest profiles to source externally. Delhi's talent pool overlaps with Gurgaon and Noida, making NCR a single competitive market where candidates compare opportunities across all three cities a principal-level mis-hire can set an organization's technical direction back by years — the blast radius of a wrong decision at this level is enormous
