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 DoOwn features and services end to end, from discovery and design through deployment and monitoringWork across backend, data, infrastructure, integrations and AI-powered workflows, depending on what the problem needsMake and defend architectural trade-offs (performance, cost, complexity, speed)Debug production failures, find root causes, and improve observability and resilienceBuild internal tools and automations that remove repetitive engineering workPrototype quickly, validate assumptions, and turn what works into production codeUse AI agents, tool calling and MCP integrations to compress delivery cycles, and review their output criticallyRaise the bar on code quality and engineering practices through your own work and reviewsMust have2-4 years building and running production softwareStrong fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, databases, OS/networking basics, concurrency, system designExperience 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 applicationsComfort entering an unfamiliar codebase and learning a new language or tool when the problem demands itHands-on use of AI coding tools, and the judgment to catch hallucinations and hidden failure modes in generated codeA track record of finishing things: shipping, then fixing, then measuring impactStrong plusExperience at a product company or on a high-scale systemPerformance, reliability or data-consistency work with measurable resultsInternal tools, automation, or agent-based workflows you've builtFrontend or mobile exposureB.Tech/B.E. in CS, IT, ECE, EE or a related field, ideally from a strong engineering programHow You'll Be EvaluatedResume and work review: a conversation about what you personally built and the measurable impactPractical coding round: write, debug and test code under realistic constraintsSystem design: an open-ended design problem sized to a real scaleAI-assisted build: solve a task with an AI agent while we watch how you steer, verify and testHiring manager conversation: your hardest problems, failures, and what you learnedWhy JoinReal ownership and direct business impact from week oneExposure across stacks and domainsHands-on experience building with AI agents on production systemsApply Now!
