Remote, full-time senior backend or full-stack role in Python (Django or FastAPI), on a product team that owns what it ships. Especially interested in teams building AI features like retrieval and LLM workflows. Based in Hyderabad (IST), with evening overlap for European or US Eastern hours. Open to long-term contracts.

Srinath Reddy
@srinath
Senior Software Engineer at Deepen AI. Python backends, Django REST APIs and production AI retrieval systems on GCP.
What I'm looking for
At Deepen AI, I designed Python backend services and Django REST APIs for AI-assisted data-processing workflows, and ran them in production on GCP. I architected a natural-language query interface over labeled datasets (up to 5,000 labeled objects per query), built a sandbox that safely runs dynamically generated Python, and built a documentation-retrieval system using embedding pipelines and Qdrant. I also replaced static QA rules with prompt-driven validation while keeping execution deterministic.
Before engineering, I spent six years in test automation. I still design for the failure cases first and build systems that are easy to test and simple to reason about.
I'm looking for a remote senior backend or full-stack role in Python, ideally with AI features where they genuinely help.
