// Background
Tier-1 alumni networks across India.
IIT, BITS, IIIT, NIT, ISI, IISc — or equivalent institutional background. 3–15 years in production deep-tech systems. Track record of shipped systems, not just resumes.
// Open mandates
Engineer for the world's most demanding deep-tech buyers.
niogod™ deploys senior Indian engineering talent into DACH deep-tech mandates under institutional Werkvertrag protocols. We do not place freelancers. We engineer pods.
Who we hire.
// Tier-1 institutional alumni
// Language
Mandatory C1+ written English.
Working German at A2+ is a strong plus and a hiring tiebreaker for Senior Consultant roles. The Projektleiter is the only required C1 German speaker; engineers communicate in English to the Projektleiter and asynchronously to the Mandant.
How we work.
// Long-term assignments · Werkvertrag-led
niogod™ engineers are not freelancers. Engagements are long-term, assignment-stable, and operate inside a sealed pod under a German Projektleiter. There is no client-direct freelance arrangement, no hourly time-tracking software, and no "bench-the-bench" rotation. The pod owes a Werk — defined deliverables under Abnahme — and the engineer's role is execution within that scope.
The Mandant interfaces only with the Projektleiter. Engineers receive technical direction from the Senior Consultant. This separation is contractual, not advisory.

Compensation philosophy.
// Upper decile of the Indian engineering market
niogod™ pays in the upper decile of the Indian engineering market because the German Werkvertrag economics support it. Engineers retain Indian residency, health, and tax structure. Compensation is fixed monthly under the Werkvertrag scope and indexed to seniority and vertical, not to hourly utilization. There is no "bench-or-billable" pressure.
