About the role

What You’ll Do
  • Build and deploy LLM-powered AI agents (including voice agents) in production, designed for real-world use cases
  • Own the end-to-end lifecycle of AI systems — from problem scoping and design to deployment, monitoring, and continuous iteration
  • Design and optimize prompts, RAG pipelines, and evaluation frameworks to improve accuracy, latency, and reliability
  • Work directly with customers and Implementation Managers (IMs) to understand workflows, solve real-world problems, and drive successful go-lives and iterations 
What We’re Looking For
  • 1–3 years experience in backend / data / AI engineering
  • Strong in Python + SQL
  • Experience or exposure to LLMs, RAG, or prompt engineering
  • High ownership, ability to work in ambiguity and ship fast
  • Comfortable working with customers and cross-functional teams
Preferred Qualification
  • B.Tech, BE, or M.Tech in Computer Science or a related discipline, with 1–3 years of relevant experience
Bonus
  • Experience with production LLM systems / AI agents
  • Familiarity with evaluation, agent tooling, or voice AI
  • Experience with Databricks, MongoDB, or distributed systems
  • Startup or customer-facing engineering experience
Why This Role
  • Work on real production AI systems (not demos)
  • End-to-end ownership and fast iteration cycles
  • Direct impact on enterprise customers and business outcomes
