Software Developer Engineer

Key responsibilities

Your work spans four areas, all grounded in hands-on deployment and debugging with users in the field.

Deployment and systems engineering

· Deploy and configure the OptoSAR platform in secure, air-gapped facilities with no internet access

· Debug across the full stack — backend services, databases, local LLM inference, GPU, OS and network

· Tune system performance against QC baselines, independently and without AI coding assistance

· Test new releases in the field and work with engineering to improve stability, performance and usability

Direct user interface and feedback

· Act as the first point of technical contact for your assigned user segment

· Train users on platform operation, updates and basic troubleshooting

· Keep live deployments running in air-gapped environments, including updates, incident response and performance reports

· Capture user feedback systematically and escalate platform issues with clear, reproducible detail

New product ideas and opportunities

· Spot gaps between what the platform offers today and what secure, offline environments actually require

· Identify recurring deployment or performance issues worth solving at the product level

· Pitch ideas to the engineering team with a explicit problem statement, technical rationale and supporting evidence

Requirements

Must-have

Technical

· Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a related field

· Strong Python development experience

· Experience with FastAPI or Flask, SQL and vector databases

· Working knowledge of embeddings and local LLM inference

· Solid fundamentals in CUDA, operating systems and networking

Professional

Good-to-have

None of these are required.



If you have up to 2 years’ experience and meet the must-haves, we encourage you to apply.

· Experience with GPU performance tuning or model quantization

· Exposure to on-premise/offline MLOps

· Container orchestration in restricted environments (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes without internet)

· Prior field deployment or systems-integration experience

Professional requirements

· Communication: strong verbal and written communication, with a confident non-verbal presence (body language, active listening) in front of senior users

· Presentation: clear briefings and demonstrations for both technical and non-technical audiences

· Ability to train: can teach users and colleagues, and explain complex technical or imagery outputs simply

· Adaptability: comfortable with changing requirements, frequent travel and offline, secure environments

· Soft skills: empathy, teamwork, ownership and composure under pressure

· Reporting: clear, concise written reports

· Problem-solving: curiosity and a structured approach to problems with no ready answer

Working conditions and eligibility — both tracks

Based in Delhi, with on-site deployment in secure, air-gapped facilities where connectivity is limited

Regular travel to user sites for short evaluation or deployment periods

Background verification and police verification will be required, as per client protocols
