About the company

An AI-native organic growth platform that helps brands get discovered, recommended and bought by people and by AI assistants. Its platform coordinates AI agents, deterministic tasks and monitoring to automate the organic growth lifecycle end to end.

About the role

A senior, hands-on engineer who also leads a small engineering pod. You will write complex production code, set engineering standards and own agent workflows end to end: data and orchestration, APIs and the customer-facing UI. The job is to turn LLM capabilities into dependable production systems, then ship, measure, improve and harden them.

What you'll do

- Build multi-step agent workflows, tool use and orchestration that run large volumes of tasks reliably and at a sensible cost.

- Build the backend services, data pipelines, APIs and product interfaces that deliver agent outputs.

- Put evals, monitoring and guardrails in place so accuracy, safety and reliability improve without constant human review.





- Decide where an LLM is the right tool and where deterministic software is, trading off latency, cost and scale.

- Automate more of the delivery lifecycle, moving work from manual operations to agents.

- Lead design, code review and delivery for the pod.

What we're looking for

- 6+ years building production software: backend-heavy, with genuine full-stack ability.

- Production LLM or agentic features you have shipped (RAG, tool-calling agents, orchestration), not just prototypes.

- Strong fundamentals in systems, data and software quality.

- Experience technically leading a small team or project through design, review and delivery.

- A practical grasp of running non-deterministic AI systems reliably.

- High ownership and the ability to move quick.

Nice to have

- LLM evaluation and observability tooling.

- SEO, GEO, MarTech or domain-heavy business software experience.

- Early-stage, zero-to-one product experience.

Who could be a good fit

A senior or lead engineer from a product startup who has taken an LLM feature from prototype to production and kept it reliable, and who still enjoys writing most of the hard code.

Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for next steps.

Pay: ₹4,000,000.00 - ₹4,800,000.00 per year
