Solution Engineer / Product Lead — GxP

About the role

Be the founder’s second-in-room: run the demos, map the workflows, and walk Heads of Quality through the evidence — with a defined track to Product Lead as our first design partnerships convert.

Every buyer conversation we have is with a Head of Quality, VP Quality, or QA/CSV leader — people who detect hand-waving instantly. Your job is to make Verixa concrete in those rooms. The product is built and internally tested, and we are entering paid design-partner engagements with emerging pharma, biotech and CDMO quality teams — India first, US in parallel. You would be hire #1 in the Hyderabad market team.

What you’ll do

• Run the demo — own the demo environment, demo scripts and scenario data. Show a deviation → RCA → CAPA workflow credibly to people who live it daily.
• Map workflows live — sit with a customer’s QA team, take their SOP/process reality, and map it to a bounded Verixa workflow: scope, roles, review gates, exclusions.
• Walk the evidence — present AI output provenance, supporting sources, reviewer history, system records and validation-support documentation, and answer “how would this hold up in an inspection?” without overclaiming.
• Be the founder’s second-in-room — join design-partner meetings, capture what was actually said and agreed, challenge our own optimism, and own same-day follow-ups.
• Feed the product — turn what buyers say into precise input for the product and engineering team: workflow scope, priorities and honest claims. This is where the Product Lead track begins.

What we’re looking for

• 4–10 years in pharma/biotech quality reality: plant or clinical QA, CSV/CSA, QMS/eQMS implementation, or quality consulting. You can read a deviation SOP and find the pain in it.
• You can demo software — vendor solution-engineering, implementation consulting, or having led an eQMS/LIMS rollout from the customer side all count.
• You speak both languages — QA (“root cause, impact assessment, Part 11”) and product (“workflow, config, role model”) — and translate between them.
• Startup pace, regulatory discipline — you move quickly without compromising evidence, accuracy or claim discipline.
• Claim discipline — Verixa is internally tested and provides validation-support documentation; each regulated customer remains responsible for validating the system for its intended use within its quality system. If stating that plainly resonates rather than frustrates, you’ll fit.
• Based in Hyderabad, or ready to relocate.

Nice to have

• Exposure to AI/ML tools in a regulated context.
• Annex 11 / Part 11 working knowledge.
• CDMO or sterile-manufacturing background.
• An existing Hyderabad pharma network.

What this role is not

• Not a pure sales quota role — the founder leads sales.
• Not remote.
• Not a support desk.
• It is the most customer-facing technical seat in the company.

What you get

• A ground-floor seat in one of India’s largest life-sciences and pharma hubs, as the market team’s first hire — employed by Navira Quality Systems with meaningful early-employee ESOP.
• Direct daily work with a domain-expert founder; your fingerprints on the product, the demo and the first reference customers — and a defined Product Lead growth track.
• A front-row seat to the evolving AI and computerized-systems regulatory landscape — draft EU Annex 22, Annex 11 developments, FDA Part 11 expectations and, for medical-device applications, FDA CSA.
