Rushikesh Katwate — Technical Recruiter

I’m a versatile People & Culture professional with 7.5 years of experience, currently wearing multiple hats at a VC-backed Series A startup Jaz.ai / Tinvio. As the sole HR team member, I lead the entire employee lifecycle—from onboarding to offboarding, policy ops, device and access management, appraisals, and engineering hiring. Over the past 4 years with this startup, I’ve grown into a hybrid role where I’ve also contributed as a QA Engineer, stepping up to support product testing and quality processes during hiring downtimes. 🔹 People Ops: Independently manage onboarding, exits, leaves, performance reviews, documentation, payroll inputs, and compliance. 🔹 Talent Acquisition: Full-cycle recruitment for engineering and product roles, including sourcing, evaluation, offers, and stakeholder coordination. 🔹 QA Engineering: Perform UI/functional testing, write test cases, report bugs, and ensure product readiness during release cycles. I'm passionate about building scalable people processes, hiring high-impact teams, and contributing cross-functionally to ensure business continuity. Looking to grow in people leadership or tech-aligned roles in fast-paced environments where adaptability is a superpower. Strong engineering professional with a B.Tech focused on Electronics and Communications Engineering from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University. Skilled in Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js.Angular, React, Native mobile applications, MongoDB, MySQL, SQL server, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), HTML5, Android, iOS, Python, Machine Learning (ML), artificial intelligence(AI), SQL, NoSQL. I like doing this because it allows me to work and interact with some amazing folks :)
