ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a skilled Backend Engineer to join our Conversational Agents
team, building Samvaad — our voice and AI-driven dialogue platform. A day at
Samvaad means tackling hard problems, fast feedback, and real impact, all while
working with a team that loves tinkering and shipping. You'll design and develop
the server-side logic, APIs, and platform orchestration that powers AI
conversations for millions of Indians.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

* Build and maintain backend services — scalable APIs (REST/gRPC),
fault-tolerant systems, and clean, testable code.

* Design schemas,



tune queries (Postgres/NoSQL), manage unstructured data, and
apply caching and indexing strategies for performance.

* Deliver reliable releases with full observability — metrics, logs, traces —
and ensure backward compatibility.

* Contribute to architecture discussions, resolve scaling and latency
bottlenecks, and drive improvements in performance and reliability.

* Champion best practices — enforce coding standards, mentor peers, and stay
current with backend and Generative AI technologies.

* Build enterprise-grade software with robust security practices in adherence
to privacy and compliance policies.

* Collaborate across teams — integrate models into production, define data
contracts with frontend and product, and partner with DevOps for smooth
deployments.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

* 3–6 years of backend development experience, with exposure to distributed
systems and container orchestration (
