  • Collaborate with senior engineers and cross-functional teams to ensure your components integrate seamlessly into the broader system.
  • Write high-quality, well-tested code and proactively participate in code reviews and design discussions.
  • Contribute to performance benchmarking and monitoring to ensure reliability, scalability, and robustness.
  • Help investigate and troubleshoot production issues, driving improvements in stability and performance.

What we're looking for:

  • 3–5 years of experience in backend or systems software engineering, ideally building scalable, data-intensive systems.
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Python, Go, Java, or C++.
  • Solid understanding of systems concepts including concurrency, networking, and distributed systems.
  • Interest in working with AI/ML workloads, especially in processing unstructured data like documents to generate high-quality inputs for LLMs.
  • A proactive, collaborative mindset and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, startup-like environment.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with attention to detail and quality.
  • Clear communication and willingness to learn and grow within a highly technical team.

India Benefits:

  • Flexible PTO: Because life is better when you actually live it!
  • Instabreak Fridays: Enjoy 6 company-wide Friday breaks scheduled throughout the year, giving you long weekends to relax and recharge!
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Top-notch medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Parental Leave & Fertility Benefits: Supporting you in growing your family, your way.
  • Therapy Sessions Covered: Mental health matters— 10 free sessions through Samata Health.
  • Wellness Stipend: For gym memberships, fitness tech, or whatever keeps you thriving.
  • Lunch on Us: Enjoy a lunch credit when you're in the office.
