Requirements

  • Strong proficiency in Python, including object-oriented and functional programming
  • Solid experience building API-driven services using FastAPI or Flask
  • Familiarity with data manipulation libraries such as Polars, Pandas, and NumPy
  • Experience with model deployment and serialisation (e.g. Joblib, Pickle, TorchScript)
  • Hands-on experience with LangChain and other open-source frameworks for AI agents and orchestration pipelines
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, including Git-based version control and testing with Unittest or Pytest
  • Understanding of API security practices, including authentication and input validation
  • Experience working with Azure cloud platforms and Docker-based containerisation
  • Ability to work effectively in agile environments
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams

Nice to Have

  • Experience working closely with stakeholders to shape and refine AI-powered solutions
  • Demonstrated ability to adapt to changing requirements and iterate on deployed services based on real-world feedback
  • A continuous improvement mindset, focused on improving reliability, scalability, governance, and maintainability
  • Experience managing AI services end to end, including deployment, monitoring, documentation, and ongoing support
  • A future-focused approach to building scalable, secure services aligned with long-term platform needs

Benefits

  • Fixed Shifts: 12:00 PM - 9:30 PM IST (Summer) | 1:00 PM - 10:30 PM IST (Winter)
