About PyjamaHR -

PyjamaHR is an applicant tracking system used by 600+ paying companies to run their hiring. Around the ATS it runs an AI voice interviewer that has conducted more than 65,000 live interviews since 2024, over 3,000 a month, a candidate database of tens of millions of Indian profiles now rolling out, and integrations with LinkedIn, Monster, ZipRecruiter and other job boards. The engineering team is deliberately small: a lead engineer, the founder, and this hire.

How engineering works here -

This is an AI-native engineering team in practice, not as a slogan. Every engineer works inside Claude Code or Codex all day. A typical unit of work starts with a live problem (a support ticket, a failed interview, a recruiter's screenshot), moves to a root cause proven with production evidence (logs, database, email provider), and ends as a small, well-described pull request. Pull requests are reviewed by several AI models and then by a human who re-derives the reasoning. Descriptions read like incident reports: what happened, why, what changed, how it was verified.



There is no ticket queue between you and production. The bar is speed with verification, not speed alone.

What you will work on -

Real examples from the last few weeks, not a wish list:
- Production engineering on the ATS (Python, Django, Celery, Postgres, React): asynchronous task chains that failed silently, email queues that dropped mail, resume parsing that lost files on large batches, LinkedIn profile URLs extracted wrongly from PDFs, job-board feeds with years-old defects.
- The AI interviewer (Python LiveKit agent, Next.js, AWS Transcribe and Polly): speech-to-text reliability, interview-ending logic, caption delivery, cost per interview.
- Recent surfaces moving from prototype to product: the candidate database (Next.js, OpenSearch), redesigned career pages, an internal leads app. Hardening means tests, feature flags, error states and monitoring.
- The billing rebuild: Razorpay subscriptions
