Why This Hire Matters

Saas companies need to grow recurring revenue while maintaining product reliability and reducing churn. Generalist software engineers are abundant, but those who combine clean architecture skills with production delivery speed are far fewer than the numbers suggest. Kolkata's tech ecosystem is smaller, which means word travels fast — employer brand matters disproportionately here 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

Market Reality

Candidates at this level typically juggle 2-3 carefully considered offers, often with retention packages from current employers.
