About the Role
You'll take unclear problems and turn them into reliable, production-grade systems. You won't get a detailed spec. You'll get a problem, context, and the freedom to decide how to solve it. You'll own the full lifecycle: understanding the problem, designing, building, shipping, monitoring and iterating.
We're AI-native. You'll use coding agents and agentic workflows daily to move faster, and you stay fully accountable for everything you ship.
We don't hire based on familiarity with a particular programming language, framework, or technology stack. We value strong fundamentals, problem-solving ability, learning speed, engineering judgment, and the ability to deliver working software.
What You'll Do
- Own features and services end to end, from discovery and design through deployment and monitoring
- Work across backend, data, infrastructure, integrations and AI-powered workflows, depending on what the problem needs
- Make and defend architectural trade-offs (performance, cost, complexity, speed)
- Debug production failures, find root causes, and improve observability and resilience
- Build internal tools and automations that remove repetitive engineering work
- Prototype quickly, validate assumptions, and turn what works into production code
- Use AI agents, tool calling and MCP integrations to compress delivery cycles, and review their output critically
- Raise the bar on code quality and engineering practices through your own work and reviews
Must have
- 2-4 years building and running production software
- Strong fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, databases, OS/networking basics, concurrency, system design
- Experience across more than one domain, such as backend/APIs, data-heavy systems, queues and async processing, cloud and deployment, third-party integrations, or AI/LLM applications
- Comfort entering an unfamiliar codebase and learning a new language or tool when the problem demands it
- Hands-on use of AI coding tools, and the judgment to catch hallucinations and hidden failure modes in generated code
- A track record of finishing things: shipping, then fixing, then measuring impact
Strong plus
- Experience at a product company or on a high-scale system
- Performance, reliability or data-consistency work with measurable results
- Internal tools, automation, or agent-based workflows you've built
- Frontend or mobile exposure
- B.Tech/B.E. in CS, IT, ECE, EE or a related field, ideally from a strong engineering program
How You'll Be Evaluated
- Resume and work review: a conversation about what you personally built and the measurable impact
- Practical coding round: write, debug and test code under realistic constraints
- System design: an open-ended design problem sized to a real scale
- AI-assisted build: solve a task with an AI agent while we watch how you steer, verify and test
- Hiring manager conversation: your hardest problems, failures, and what you learned
Why Join
- Real ownership and direct business impact from week one
- Exposure across stacks and domains
- Hands-on experience building with AI agents on production systems
How to Apply
Send your resume, GitHub (or equivalent), and 1-2 examples of systems you built, shipped or improved. Tell us briefly about the hardest engineering problem you've solved.
