Senior Software Engineer (Backend / DevOps / AI) - Sevan AI (Mumbai)
A foundational engineering role scaling a production AI accounting platform from one server to thousands of clients

About us
Sevan AI automates the most tedious part of bookkeeping: getting supplier bills out of inboxes and into the accounting system, accurately, without a human retyping them. Accountants forward or upload bills; our AI pipeline reads them (multi-model OCR with a verification layer), codes them to the right ledger accounts and tax treatment, and syncs them into QuickBooks Online or Xero for review. We are built by Orbit Accountants, an accounting firm, so the product is shaped daily by real bookkeepers processing real client books, not guesses about what accountants want.

The product works and is in production with paying clients. We are now scaling it from a founder-built system to a platform serving thousands of accounting clients, and you'd be one of the first engineers, co-owning that journey.

The Role
This role sits at the intersection of three disciplines,



and it needs genuine depth in each: not familiarity, depth.

Backend: you'll own the document pipeline end to end: intake workers (email, upload, mobile), verification, and publishing to accounting systems. You'll also own the third-party integrations that surround it: QuickBooks Online, Xero, Gmail, Google Drive, with all the OAuth flows, token refresh, rate limits, and webhooks that come with vendor APIs.

DevOps: you'll turn a working single-server product into a real platform and own how it's built, shipped, and operated: environments, CI/CD, managed and backed-up data stores, containerization, monitoring and alerting. Most of it doesn't exist yet; you get to do it right. Scaling is not a side quest here; it is the job. You'll decide what the platform runs on, which technologies we adopt at each stage of growth, and which ones we deliberately defer.

AI engineering: you'll own the layer that actually reads and codes
