Job Description

This role is Office Based, Hyderabad Office


We are seeking enthusiastic Senior AI Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development of intelligent talent technology. This is a hands-on opportunity for those early in their career to gain experience with AI and machine learning in a real-world, enterprise SaaS environment. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers and learn how large language models, recommender systems, and other AI solutions enhance the workplace


In this role you will....

  1. Design and build scalable, reliable, and maintainable software solutions using sound engineering principles — data structures, algorithms, system design, and clean architecture.
  2. Work directly with clients to understand their business challenges, decompose ambiguous problems, and drive them to well-defined technical solutions.
  3. Take ownership of end-to-end delivery — from scoping and estimation through implementation, testing, deployment, and post-delivery support.
  4. Make pragmatic technical decisions around trade-offs in performance, scalability, cost, and time-to-delivery.
  5. Write clean, well-tested, production-ready code in Java and/or Python, following best practices around code reviews, testing, and CI/CD.
  6. Mentor and guide junior engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and pair programming — raising the bar for the team.
  7. Own task tracking, status reporting, and delivery timelines for client-facing projects, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
  8. Conduct regular client check-ins, demos, and progress reviews — proactively communicating risks, blockers, and milestones.
  9. Drive technical decisions by evaluating frameworks, tools, and approaches with a bias for simplicity and long-term maintainability.
  10. Identify recurring problems and invest in automation, tooling, or process improvements that benefit the broader team.
  11. Participate in Agile ceremonies and contribute to both internal engineering discussions and external client-facing presentations.

You've got what it takes if you have....

  1. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
  2. 3+ years of hands-on software engineering experience with strong proficiency in Java and/or Python.
  3. Strong CS fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design, and system design.
  4. Experience designing and building systems that are scalable, observable, and maintainable in production.
  5. Ownership mindset — you see things through from start to finish without waiting to be told what to do next.
  6. Excellent communication skills — ability to articulate technical trade-offs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders with clarity and confidence.
  7. Demonstrated ability to lead by influence — driving alignment across teams, mentoring peers, and raising engineering standards.
  8. Strong organizational skills with the ability to track, prioritize, and deliver across multiple concurrent workstreams independently.
  9. Comfort with ambiguity and a track record of turning vague requirements into concrete, deliverable plans.
