Elephant & Rope — Founding Engineer for Hire
I'm Anosh Malik. I've been the first technical hire at three high-growth startups. I know what it takes to scale "move-fast" MVP code into secure, enterprise-grade platforms.
From MVPs to full-stack platforms. React, Next.js, Node.js — modern tech stacks built to ship fast and scale.
Your MVP code won't survive your Series B. I'll personally audit your stack in 5 days and give you the roadmap to fix it.
Ongoing technical partnership for founders who need a trusted voice in the room.
I know what "first hire" code looks like. I know the shortcuts you took to ship fast. I know which ones will kill you at scale — and which ones are fine.
Scaled to 200+ employees. Deployed to the Bank of England using on-premise Ansible scripts.
First engineer hired. Migrated a single-file monolith to a CQRS-based event-driven system.
Built the 2-week MVP. Led the ISO27001 refactor that secured their Series A.
