Blockchain Developer

Job Description: Python Engineer

Role Summary

We are looking for a talented Python Engineer to design, develop, and maintain high-quality backend applications and automation solutions. The ideal candidate should have strong programming skills, familiarity with modern development practices, and the ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Python Development & Automation

• Design, develop, and maintain Python scripts, tools, and automation frameworks.
• Build automation for operational tasks such as deployment, monitoring, system checks, and maintenance.

• Develop APIs, CLI tools, or microservices when required.

Linux Systems Engineering

• Manage, configure, and troubleshoot Linux environments (RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu).
• Perform system performance tuning, log analysis, and root-cause diagnostics.
• Work with system services, processes, networking, file systems, and security controls.
• Implement shell scripting (bash) alongside Python for system-level automation.

CI/CD & Infrastructure Support

• Support integration of Python automation into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins).
• Participate in build and release processes for infrastructure components.
• Ensure automation aligns with established infrastructure standards and governance.
• Use Bash scripting together with Python to improve automation efficiency.

Cloud & DevOps Collaboration (if applicable)

• Collaborate with Cloud/DevOps engineers on automation for AWS or other cloud platforms.
• Integrate Python tools with configuration management tools such as Chef or Ansible, or with Terraform modules.
• Contribute to containerization efforts (Docker, Kubernetes) leveraging Python automation.

Our Mission

To make video as accessible to machines as text and voice are today.

At lookup, we believe the world's most valuable asset is trapped. Video is everywhere, but it's unsearchable—a black box of insight that no one can open or atleast open affordably. We’re changing that. We're building the search engine for the visual world, so anyone can find or do anything with video just by asking.

Text is queryable. Voice is transcribed. Video, the largest and richest data source of all, is still a black box. A computer can't understand it, and so its value remains trapped.

Our mission at lookup is to fix this.

About the Role

We are looking for founding Backend Engineers to build a highly performant, reliable, and scalable API platform that makes enterprise video knowledge readily available for video search, summarization, and natural‑language Q&A. You will partner closely with our ML team working on vision‑language models to productionize research and deliver fast, trustworthy APIs for customers.

Examples of technical challenges you will work on include: distributed video storage, a unified application framework and data model for indexing large video libraries, low‑latency clip retrieval, vector search at scale, and end‑to‑end build, test, deploy, and observability in cloud environments.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and build robust backend services and APIs (REST, gRPC) for vector search, video summarization, and video Q&A.
• Own API performance and reliability, including low‑latency retrieval, pagination, rate limiting, and backwards‑compatible versioning.
• Design schemas and tune queries in Postgres, and integrate with unstructured storage.
• Implement observability across metrics, logs, and traces. Set error budgets and SLOs.
• Write clear design docs and ship high‑quality, well‑tested code.
• Collaborate with ML engineers to integrate and productionize VLMs and retrieval pipelines.
• Take ownership of architecture from inception to production launch.

Who You Are:

• 3+ years of professional experience in backend development.
• Proven experience building and scaling polished WebSocket, gRPC, and REST APIs.
• Exposure to distributed systems and container orchestration (Docker and Kubernetes).
• Hands‑on experience with AWS.
• Strong knowledge of SQL (Postgres) and NoSQL (e.g., Cassandra), including schema design, query optimization, and scaling.
• Familiarity with our stack is a plus, but not mandatory: Python (FastAPI), Celery, Kafka, Postgres, Redis, Weaviate, React.
• Ability to diagnose complex issues, identify root causes, and implement effective fixes.
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced startup environment.

Nice to have:

• Hands-on work with LLM agents, vector embeddings, or RAG applications.
• Building video streaming pipelines and storage systems at scale (FFmpeg, RTSP, WebRTC).
• Proficiency with modern frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS) and responsive UI design.

Location & Culture

• Full-time, in-office role in Bangalore (we’re building fast and hands-on).
• Must be comfortable with a high-paced environment and collaboration across PST time zones for our US customers and investors.
• Expect startup speed — daily founder syncs, rapid design-to-prototype cycles, and a culture of deep ownership.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Work on the frontier of video understanding and real-world AI — products that can redefine trust and automation.
• Build core APIs that make video queryable and power real customer use.
• Own systems end to end: performance, reliability, and developer experience.
• Work closely with founders and collaborate in person in Bangalore.
• Competitive salary with meaningful early equity.

What are the Key Responsibilities:

• Responsibilities include writing and testing code, debugging programs, and integrating applications with third-party web services. 
• Write effective, scalable code
• Develop back-end components to improve responsiveness and overall performance
• Integrate user-facing elements into applications
• Improve functionality of existing systems
• Implement security and data protection solutions
• Assess and prioritize feature requests
• Creates customized applications for smaller tasks to enhance website capability based on business needs
• Ensures web pages are functional across different browser types; conducts tests to verify user functionality
• Verifies compliance with accessibility standards
• Assists in resolving moderately complex production support problems

What are we looking for:

• 3+ Years of work experience as a Python Developer
• Expertise in at least one popular Python framework: Django
• Knowledge of NoSQL databases (Elastic search, MongoDB)
• Familiarity with front-end technologies like JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3
• Familiarity with Apache Kafka will give you an edge over others
• Good understanding of the operating system and networking concepts
• Good analytical and troubleshooting skills
• Graduation/Post Graduation in Computer Science / IT / Software Engineering
• Decent verbal and written communication skills to communicate with customers, support personnel, and management
