Software Development Engineer II building low-latency, agentic AI-enabled campaign and ad-tech platforms that scale and prevent data drift.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Software Development Engineer II focused on building backend and platform systems that are fast, reliable, and designed to eliminate hidden failure modes. At CRED, I built “Datalens,” a centralized MCP server for standardized Mixpanel data retrieval across autonomous agents, and I shipped an “Inference-Guard” GitHub Action that monitors critical config changes and auto-generates PRs to keep downstream schemas in sync.
I also architected an NLP “InsightsEngine” in UCMS that integrates LLM agents via MCP, enabling non-technical users to query campaign metrics through chat. Previously, I solely architected and shipped an in-house adserver and reporting service at CRED—cutting latency and saving substantial cost—then expanded into high-throughput audience sync, campaign-sync capabilities, and warehouse automation; I enjoy system design ownership, performance tuning, and mentoring teams through refactors that reduce legacy friction.
