• Optimize and manage databases (SQL & NoSQL) for efficient data storage and retrieval.
• Integrate backend services with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure) for hosting, scaling, and monitoring.
• Ensure security, performance, and reliability of backend services.
• Troubleshoot and debug production issues, optimizing for performance.
• Stay updated with the latest technologies in backend, servers, and infra, AI, ML, and cloud computing.

Requirements:

• Minimum 2 years of professional experience in Python backend development.
• Strong expertise in building and maintaining APIs (FastAPI, Flask, or Django).
• Must-have: Hands-on experience with AI/ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn.
• Must-have: Experience working with Large Language Models (LLMs), building RAG pipelines, working with vector embeddings and vector databases, and integrating LLMs with external APIs and services.
• Must-have: Database experience with SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Firebase).
• Must-have: Familiarity with cloud computing platforms (GCP/Azure/AWS) and deploying backend services.
• Experience with authentication, security best practices, and API integrations.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects.
• Experience building scalable, reliable, secure production-grade systems.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have):

• Knowledge of front-end technologies, of building full stack.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
• Knowledge of cloud security and best deployment practices.
• Exposure to MLOps and AI model deployment at scale.
• Experience with event-driven architectures and microservices.
• Working with code-gen tools or agents like Cursor or Windsurf, as we rely increasingly more on such tools to accelerate our workflows and product cycles.

Salary & Benefits:

• Starting salary: Rs 30,000-50,000 per month, with rapid growth potential based on performance from the second month, including equity after 6 months at the company.
• Remote work with flexible hours.
• Opportunity to work on exciting cutting-edge AI-powered applications, in the consumer domain, where your work may have a meaningful impact on the lives of many thousands or millions.
• Fast career progression in a high-growth startup environment.
• Work closely with a highly motivated, innovation-driven team.
• Company retreats every 6 months, and other perks.
• Even if you are fresh out of college, we will consider your application, as long as you meet the requirements.

Application Process

Only serious candidates who meet the criteria need apply, sharing projects they have worked on. We are looking for someone who is comfortable with working autonomously, who possesses high levels of self-agency, and who is self-driven; someone who can own the backend and cloud infra of our products, while also being able to meaningfully contribute to our AI feature (and later, model fine-tuning) development process.

We also have fast product development cycles, using AI tools like Cursor, etc, in our workflow, and so a strong comprehension of code and strong debugging skills are absolute necessities, as an increasing percentage of our codebase will be developed in conjunction with such tools.

If you do not have the required experience and attributes, please do not apply. If this opportunity sounds like just the one you are looking for, we are excited to hear from you.
