About the role

The position is open in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Gurugram. This is an opportunity to work on high-impact, high-visibility projects, take on genuinely challenging technical problems, and own your work end-to-end using the latest technologies.

  • Implementing parallel and distributed computing solutions (leveraging the firm's compute grid).
  • Building internal server frameworks that let other teams deploy their own Python-based web services.
  • Optimising performance-critical Python components using C/C++, Cython, and JIT compilation techniques.
