Job Description
LOCATION
Bangalore-India
THE ROLE
We are building a cloud-native platform with AI as the baseline. AI is not a feature layer. It defines how systems are designed, how data is structured, and how engineers think before building. AI in the product starts from system design and data modeling.

Engineers here are builders who own end-to-end delivery. You think about data schema, scale, and distributed systems before using AI tools. You own what you build including development, testing, release, and production operations.

- Define architecture for services, data flows, and system interactions across teams
- Make key decisions on:
- data modeling for AI use cases
- service decomposition
- scaling strategies and trade-offs

- Establish and enforce best practices for:

- testing strategy
- CI/CD
- observability and operational readiness

- Drive service reliability, performance, and cost optimization at scale
- Lead design reviews and mentor senior engineers
- Own resolution of complex production issues involving multiple systems
- Influence how AI is integrated into product and platform design

Collaborate across teams to align architecture and delivery
EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

- University degree in computer science, mathematics, IT or relevant qualified experience with qualified technical training
- 4 to 5 years of relevant experience




- Strong fundamentals in distributed systems and cloud-native architecture
- Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (Go, Java, C++, Python, Rust, or similar) with experience building production-quality services
- Experience building and operating production services
