Backend Engineer

About PGAGI:

We're at the forefront of creating advanced AI systems, from fully autonomous agents that provide intelligent customer interaction to data analysis tools that offer insightful business solutions. We are seeking enthusiastic interns who are passionate about AI and ready to tackle real-world problems using the latest technologies.

About the Role

We are at the forefront of building advanced AI systems — from fully autonomous agents that power intelligent customer interactions, to data analysis tools that deliver actionable business insights. This internship combines hands-on AI/ML engineering with robust backend development, giving you a complete picture of how production-grade AI systems are built, deployed, and scaled.

You will work across the full stack: designing and fine-tuning AI models on one end, and architecting the APIs, databases, and server-side infrastructure that bring those models to life on the other.

Key Responsibilities

AI / ML ENGINEERING

Design, experiment with, and fine-tune large language models (LLMs) and NLP pipelines for real-world use cases.

Develop and iterate on prompt engineering strategies to optimise model performance and output quality.

Integrate and deploy models using Hugging Face and OpenAI platforms; evaluate open-source alternatives.

Build deep learning workflows including training, evaluation, and continuous improvement loops.

Collaborate on data collection, preprocessing, and feature engineering for ML pipelines.

BACKEND ENGINEERING

Architect and develop scalable RESTful APIs and GraphQL endpoints using Node.js / FastAPI / Express.

Build and maintain full-stack features using Next.js (App Router), integrating server-side rendering, API routes, and React components.

Design and manage relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or equivalent); write efficient queries and manage schema migrations.

Implement authentication, authorisation, and security best practices (JWT, OAuth 2.0, role-based access control).

Containerise services with Docker and contribute to CI/CD pipelines for reliable, automated deployments.

Integrate AI/ML model inference endpoints into backend services, handling async processing, queuing, and latency optimisation.

Write clean, well-tested, and well-documented backend code; participate actively in code reviews.

VERSION CONTROL & COLLABORATION

Use Git and GitHub for all version control workflows — branching strategies, pull requests, and code reviews.

Contribute to technical documentation, architecture decision records, and internal knowledge bases.

Duration & Compensation

Duration: 6 Months

Stipend: Base ₹8,000/month — up to ₹15,000/month based on performance

Post-Internship: Full-time opportunity as AI/ML Engineer (₹6–8 LPA) based on performance

Perks & Benefits

Hands-on experience shipping real AI products used by actual customers.

Mentorship from senior engineers and industry experts in AI/ML and backend development.

Exposure to the full development lifecycle — from model training to production deployment.

Collaborative, innovative, and flexible work environment.

Accelerated growth path with a clear route to a full-time engineering role.

About the Role

Qiro is building the infrastructure powering the next generation of underwriting, credit analytics, and tokenized private credit markets.

We are looking for a Tech Lead — Credit & Blockchain Infrastructure to lead the architecture and execution of our core systems — spanning underwriting engines, credit lifecycle workflows, and blockchain-integrated capital markets infrastructure.

This is not a feature delivery role. This is a system ownership role.

You will be hands-on while leading a growing engineering team in a fast-moving, in-office environment.

What You’ll Own

• Define and evolve the long-term technical vision for Qiro’s programmable credit infrastructure — architecting cohesive systems that unify underwriting engines, credit lifecycle workflows, and tokenized capital markets.
• Own the end-to-end architecture of scalable backend platforms (Python and/or TypeScript), establishing clear boundaries between risk logic, platform APIs, and smart contract integrations while ensuring scalability, auditability, and extensibility.
• Build and standardize configurable underwriting and credit lifecycle systems — from onboarding and drawdown orchestration to repayment waterfalls and early closures — ensuring deterministic, traceable financial state transitions at institutional scale.
• Set integration and infrastructure standards across API contracts, data models, validation layers, and event-driven architectures, enabling reliable synchronization between off-chain services and on-chain contracts.
• Architect secure and resilient blockchain integrations, including wallet interactions, capital flow coordination, and observable on-chain/off-chain state reconciliation.
• Lead high-impact, cross-product initiatives from RFC and system design through production launch — validating architectural decisions, aligning stakeholders, and delivering measurable improvements in reliability, performance, and developer velocity.
• Elevate reliability and operational excellence by defining SLOs, strengthening CI/CD and observability practices, reducing latency, and minimizing systemic risk in financial workflows.
• Build and scale the engineering organization — mentoring senior engineers, shaping hiring standards, driving architecture reviews, and fostering a culture of ownership, craftsmanship, and first-principles thinking.
• Partner closely with Product, Design, Security, and Operations to translate complex lending and capital market mechanics into simple, robust platform primitives.

Who You Are

• 6-8+ years of engineering experience, with 3+ years in technical leadership roles.
• Strong backend architecture experience in Python and/or TypeScript.
• Comfortable designing distributed systems and financial workflows.
• Experience building fintech, lending, underwriting, trading, or blockchain-integrated systems.
• Strong understanding of API design, state management, and data modeling.
• Able to navigate ambiguity and build 0→1 infrastructure.
• Hands-on builder who leads by writing production-grade code.

We Value

• Experience with underwriting engines or policy-driven decision systems.
• Exposure to smart contracts and blockchain integrations.
• Familiarity with PostgreSQL and event-driven architectures.
• Experience in early-stage or high-growth startups.
