  .

• The product is already 90% built on Java

  and the tech stack listed below.
• Candidates with a

  strong AI/ML background

  .
• Requires hands-on expertise in

  Java, MySQL-based architectures, React, TypeScript, Next.js

  with a solid understanding of 0–1 SaaS product execution.
• This is a
