Backend Engineer, AI Automation Platform (Bengaluru)
About the Role
Join an early-stage, well-funded startup in Bengaluru, India, at the forefront of building a next-generation general automation platform powered by advanced AI agents. As a Backend Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in bridging AI innovation with robust infrastructure. Your responsibilities will include designing scalable services and critical orchestration layers, ensuring multi-agent Large Language Model (LLM) systems operate reliably across diverse environments including desktop, browser, and mobile.
We prioritize rapid production system deployment while dedicating 15-20% of your time to cutting-edge AI research and experimentation.
What You’ll Do
- Integrate and optimize multi-agent workflows using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, or the OpenAI SDK.
- Implement bespoke task-orchestration logic for complex, high-performance automation pipelines.
- Develop production-grade APIs and microservices primarily in Python, TypeScript, Go, or Rust.
- Design, deploy, and maintain robust orchestration infrastructure using tools such as Kubernetes or Nomad.
- Build and fine-tune stateful networking layers with technologies like Traefik and Envoy, ensuring high-performance remote connectivity (e.g., VNC/remote-desktop).
- Manage cloud infrastructure on major platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure) utilizing Terraform or OpenTofu, and author comprehensive CI/CD pipelines.
- Dedicate significant time (15-20%) to exploring advanced AI topics like LLM fine-tuning, memory architectures, and emerging agent frameworks.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience: 3+ years of professional experience in backend or infrastructure engineering roles.
- Programming Languages: Proficiency in Python and TypeScript, coupled with hands-on experience in at least one of Go or Rust.
- AI Frameworks: Practical experience with LLM frameworks (e.g., LangChain, OpenAI SDK) and designing multi-agent systems.
- Container Orchestration: Deep understanding and hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Nomad, or similar container orchestration tools.
- Networking: Expertise in networking fundamentals, load-balancers (Traefik/Envoy), and high-performance remote connections (VNC).
- Cloud & DevOps: Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/OpenTofu), CI/CD pipelines, and major cloud platforms (GCP/AWS/Azure).
- Location: Eagerness to work in-person from our Bangalore office within a fast-paced, collaborative startup environment.
Core Technology Stack
Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, LangChain, LangGraph, OpenAI SDK, Kubernetes, Nomad, Traefik, Envoy, VNC, Terraform, GCP, AWS, Azure, CI/CD.
Why Join Us?
- Compensation: Competitive salary package ranging from ₹25–45 LPA (Lakhs Per Annum) plus meaningful equity in a well-funded, rapidly growing startup.
- Impact: Work at the bleeding edge of AI-powered general automation, bridging the gap between AI, computers, and human interaction.
- Ownership: Enjoy full ownership of projects and make direct contributions to the core product architecture.
- Innovation Time: Benefit from 15-20% dedicated time for experimental work with the latest AI frameworks and techniques.
- Culture: A team that prioritizes high-quality output and thoughtful engineering while maintaining a fast-paced, shipping-oriented culture.
