Role – SDE I (AI Tooling)

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer I (SDE I) with 1–3 years of experience, including hands-on involvement in at least one AI/ML/NLP-based project. This role focuses on building intelligent internal systems that leverage AI to automate complex workflows and enhance internal efficiencies.

You will be working at the intersection of backend engineering, machine learning, and platform design—crafting intelligent systems that support business operations at scale.

 What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain AI-powered internal tools that drive automation and operational intelligence.
• Build and integrate machine learning or NLP components to extract insights and drive decision-making across systems.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, data, and operations teams to identify opportunities for AI-driven enhancements.
• Develop scalable services and APIs using JavaScript/Node.js, Python, or related technologies.
• Ensure systems are reliable, observable, and maintainable in production environments.
• Stay current with emerging trends in AI and apply best practices to real-world business problems.

 What You’ll Bring

• 1–3 years of experience in software engineering with strong backend development skills.
• Proven experience working on at least one AI, ML, or NLP-based application or system.
• Proficiency in JavaScript (Node.js) and scripting languages such as Python.
• Solid understanding of machine learning workflows, NLP libraries (e.g., spaCy, HuggingFace, NLTK), or LLM integrations.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization tools like Docker/Kubernetes.
• Good understanding of software engineering fundamentals, system design, and application lifecycle.
• Excellent analytical and debugging skills, with a problem-solving mindset.
• Experience with version control (Git) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills; ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.                                                                                                                                                                               

Bonus Points:

• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code, observability tools, or performance tuning.
• Experience with cloud-native services (e.g., AWS Lambda, S3, SQS, DynamoDB).
• Prior experience in startups or high-growth environments.
• Knowledge of financial services or familiarity with core banking systems (a plus, not required).
