Job Description

About the AI Pod

n

We’re building AI Banker, not a chatbot, not a dashboard, not a support tool.

n

This is a proactive, context-aware financial intelligence layer that sits alongside every user and helps them make better decisions with their money in real time.

n

Think:

n

n
- Systems that understand user behavior deeply
n
- Systems that act before the user asks
n
- Systems that continuously learn and adapt
n

n

This is backend engineering at the edge of AI, not just serving APIs, but building intelligence into systems.

n

n

What you’ll do

n

n
- Build and scale backend systems powering AI-driven financial experiences
n
- Design low-latency, high-throughput services that interact with ML/AI systems
n
- Work on event-driven architectures and real-time decisioning systems
n
- Collaborate closely with AI/ML, data, and product teams to productionize intelligence
n
- Own systems end-to-end from design → deployment → iteration
n
- Solve for context management, orchestration, and system reliability at scale
n

n

n

What we’re looking for

n

n
- 3 to 6 years of strong backend engineering experience
n
- Solid fundamentals in data structures, system design, and distributed systems
n
- Strong experience building scalable APIs and backend services
n
- Hands-on with databases (SQL or NoSQL) and performance tuning
n
- Experience with event-driven systems / async processing / streaming (Kafka, etc.)
n
- Exposure to AWS and containerized deployments
n

What makes you a strong fit (high signal)

n

n
- You’ve worked on systems with real-time decisioning or personalization
n
- You’ve built platforms, not just features
n
- You understand how to integrate backend systems with ML/AI workflows
n
- You’re curious about LLMs, agentic systems, or AI infra (even if not an expert yet)
n
- You think in systems, not endpoints
n

n

n

Why this role is different

n

n
- You’re not building features - you’re building financial intelligence
n
- You’ll work on problems where backend meets cognition
n
- You’ll help define what AI-first banking looks like in India
n

n
- An extensive medical insurance that looks out for our employees & their dependents. We’ll love you and take care of you, our promise.
n
- Flexible working hours. Just don’t call us at 3AM, we like our sleep schedule.
n
- Tailored vacation & leave policies so that you enjoy every important moment in your life.
n
- A reward system that celebrates hard work and milestones throughout the year. Expect a gift coming your way anytime you kill it here.
n

n
- Good food, games, and a cool office to make you feel like home. An environment so valuable, you’ll forget the term “colleagues can’t be your friends”.
