Role- Sr Senior Engineer
Location -Hyderabad
Shift -Night Shift starts from 8:30 PM IST
About The Role
As a Senior Engineer on the team, you will own systems end to end across a high-volume, event-driven surface. You'll build the APIs and services behind key initiatives including:
- The driver comms platform — the rules engine, cohorting, and scheduling that reach drivers across SMS, push, and email
- The onboarding funnel and applicant tracking layer, architected to support Veho's move to an in-house system over time
- Live selling workflows that turn live offer and market-clearing data into well-timed, well-targeted driver outreach
You'll partner closely with Product, Design, Operations, and Data Science to ship tooling that scales with Veho's growth.
Responsibilities Include:
- Design, build, test, and deploy features across the driver-facing apps (driver mobile app, onboarding and registration surfaces), our GraphQL APIs, and the event-driven services behind them
- Own a problem end to end: write the design doc your team works from, build it, roll it out behind a feature flag, and stay on it after launch until it is stable
- Own the driver comms platform — the rules engine, cohorting, and scheduling that decide when to reach a driver over SMS, push, or email, and the delivery services behind it
- Build the onboarding funnel and applicant tracking layer: registration and set-password flows, consent and eligibility gating, and the integrations that track where every applicant sits in the funnel
- Build live selling workflows that consume live offer data and market-clearing signals to notify the right driver cohorts only when routes are actually claimable
- Contribute to architectural decisions and technical design for complex, distributed systems, and architect today's comms and onboarding infrastructure so it supports the eventual in-house replacement of our third-party ATS rather than becoming throwaway work
- Break a project into milestones your product, design, ops, and data partners can plan against
- Write correctness-first code in an event-driven system where delivery is at-least-once and no driver may be texted twice about the same route — and where a send must never fire when there is no offer to claim
- Improve reliability and observability in the services you own, with alerts that fire on real problems and stay quiet otherwise, so an on-call engineer is paged for a broken send pipeline and not for noise
- Propose the engineering work your team should be doing, including the reliability, data-quality, and compliance work nobody is asking for
- Use AI-native development workflows and tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and similar) as part of how you ship
- Mentor the engineers around you, keep the team's code review bar high, and write down what you learn
What You Bring:
- 5–7+ years of experience building, testing, and deploying applications in high-traffic production environments
- Depth in AWS serverless, including Lambda, a managed GraphQL layer such as AppSync, DynamoDB, EventBridge, and SQS
- Experience with event-driven systems and the idempotency work that comes with at-least-once delivery — especially in a comms context where duplicate or misfired messages reach real people
- Strong full-stack experience with TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and React
- Experience with DynamoDB single-table design
- Experience integrating with third-party platforms and their webhooks, and keeping the data they produce in sync and trustworthy across services
- At least one project owned through production rollout, including what broke afterward and who fixed it
- Experience operating a service in production long enough to own its failure modes
- Judgment about what a design costs in engineering time, dollars, and vendor commitment
- A self-starter mindset with the ability to move quickly and ship iteratively, including on migrations, compliance obligations, and the manual steps nobody has automated yet
- Enthusiasm for working closely with product, design, operations, data science, and support partners
-Tech Stack: AWS, TypeScript, Node.js, React, React Native, GraphQL, DynamoDB, serverless event-driven architecture;
multi-channel comms (SMS, push, email); Firebase Auth; Statsig for experimentation; Redshift/Databricks-backed data pipelines
Preferred:
- Experience with applicant tracking / recruiting funnels or other funnel-driven onboarding systems, and the drop-off analysis that improves them
- Experience with experimentation and analytics infrastructure (Statsig, Fivetran, Redshift, Databricks) to measure and tune what you ship
- Consent modeling and compliance obligations (e.g., driver terms-and-conditions and messaging consent) that span services

WHAT WE'RE BUILDING
We're building Juliet, an AI that runs marketing end to end. Our users are marketers, founders, CEOs, growth leads, agencies, and SMBs — not developers. They
tell Juliet the goal. She plans, writes production code, and ships real marketing: conversion-optimized websites, launch assets, campaigns, audits, autonomously.
That's the engineering problem in one line: the humans in the loop can't read code, so the agent has to get it right on her own — plan, build, self-correct,
recover, ship.
Under the hood: a browser-based studio backed by cloud sandboxes, a real-time SSE streaming pipeline, and a LangGraph agent working across 83 tools and 63 skill
modules. The agent isn't bolted onto the product. She is the product.
Small team, big ambitions. You'll ship things users touch daily, not write tickets about them.
---
THE ROLE
We're hiring one architect-level backend engineer to own Juliet's agentic infrastructure end to end. That means the agent graph, the execution environment, the
streaming pipeline, the state and memory systems — and setting technical direction for the engineers working alongside you.
This is a player-coach seat. You'll still write code every day, and your architectural calls become the product. You'll work directly with the founder. No PMs in
between.
Frontend is part of the system. You won't be leading it, but you'll need to understand how the agent's output reaches the browser and be able to ship full-stack
features when needed.
---
THE STACK
AI agent (primary): Python 3.11, LangGraph 1.x + LangChain, Anthropic / Google / OpenAI model providers
API (primary): NestJS 11, Supabase, Redis, PostgreSQL, Server-Sent Events
Infra (primary): Modal cloud sandboxes, Docker, Netlify deployments
Frontend (secondary): Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, Zustand, CodeMirror 6, XTerm.js
Monorepo: Turborepo, pnpm
---
WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON
The majority of your time is here:
Agentic AI workflows — Design, extend, and harden the LangGraph agent graph: multi-step planning, code generation, tool dispatch, self-correction, and recovery
across 83 tools and 63 skill modules. This is the core of the product.
Real-time streaming architecture — The SSE pipeline that carries every agent action from the Python backend through NestJS to the browser: event framing,
reconnection, health monitoring, interrupt handling for plan approvals and clarifying questions.
Agent execution environments — Sandbox lifecycle on Modal: container spin-up, file sync, terminal I/O, command execution, and live preview with per-asset esbuild
bundling. The agent lives here.
State and memory systems — LangGraph Postgres checkpointers, middleware-injected context (goals, design docs, memory anchors), conversation summarization. How
the agent knows what it knows.
Backend API and data layer — NestJS services, Supabase schema, Redis caching, quota enforcement, webhook handling. The plumbing the agent depends on.
Marketing intelligence pipelines — AEO, CRO, and brand-perception audit engines: multi-LLM probing, parallel inference, streamed structured reports, result
caching. Audit-at-scale infrastructure.
The remaining ~25% of your time:
Full-stack product features — Collaboration (roles and permissions), the Netlify deployment pipeline, subscription and quota flows, onboarding. You'll ship these
end to end — backend first, frontend to close the loop.
---
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Must-have:
- 8+ years of professional software engineering, including meaningful time as a tech lead or systems architect who owned something end to end. Closer to ten is
the norm for people who thrive here.
- Both worlds on your resume: engineering rigor inside a large company and 0-to-1 ownership at an early-stage startup.
- Production agentic systems experience. You've built and operated LLM agent systems in production with LangGraph, LangChain, or equivalent — agent graphs, tool
use, state management, prompt engineering, evals. This means well beyond calling a chat endpoint.
- Strong Python. You design and ship production Python daily. The agent codebase is yours to own.
- Architect-level system design. You can own how data flows across four services, make tradeoffs under uncertainty, and defend every call.
- AI-native development workflow. You drive Claude Code, Codex, or similar agentic tools as everyday instruments — not occasionally. You have opinions about
working with coding agents because you do it constantly.
- Real-time backend systems. You've built SSE, WebSocket, or streaming API infrastructure in production — not just consumed it.
- Strong TypeScript. The API layer and most product features are in TypeScript. You're productive in it.
Strong plus:
- Background in developer tools, IDEs, or coding/execution platforms
- Container runtimes and sandboxed execution (Modal, E2B, Firecracker, or similar)
- Depth in PostgreSQL, Redis, and Supabase
- LLM observability and evals tooling (LangSmith or similar)
- NestJS or equivalent Node.js API framework experience
- React/Next.js — enough to ship a full-stack feature without handoff
- Exposure to marketing, growth, or publisher-facing products
---
WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT
You own the architecture. Not a feature factory. Not someone else's design doc. The technical execution of an AI product is yours to lead.
The agent is the product. You're not adding AI to an existing system. You're building and operating the system that is the AI. Every architectural decision
touches what Juliet can and can't do.
Hard problems, always. The system spans cloud sandboxes, streaming infrastructure, multi-step agent graphs, and a full-stack web product — for non-technical
users who can't course-correct a broken output. The bar is high.
Small team, real leverage. Your code ships to users the same week. No layers of approval.
---
HOW TO APPLY
Send us:
1. A short note on the most complex agentic system you've shipped: what broke, and what you'd redo. A link to something you've built that involves agent graphs, tool use, or autonomous multi-step execution
2. What is one thing you would improve about Juliet? It could be a feature or a bug.

We handle the financial nervous system of some of the world's most demanding clients - invoicing, payments, and revenue intelligence at scale. Our systems process high-stakes, high-volume financial workflows where correctness and reliability are non-negotiable. We're a small, senior-leaning team. Engineers here own systems end to-end, make real architectural decisions, and ship things that matter.
The Role
This is a deep, hands-on individual contributor role. You'll be working on the core backend platform - designing APIs, building scalable workflows, hardening infrastructure, and setting the technical bar for the team around you. You won't be managing people, but you'll naturally
raise everyone's game through code reviews, technical guidance, and the quality of your own work. If you thrive in environments with high ownership, low bureaucracy, and genuinely hard problems, this is the role for you.
What You'll Do
Core Platform Development
Design and build reliable, scalable backend systems using .NET Core. Architect RESTful APIs and business workflow orchestration that hold up under real enterprise load. Make considered tradeoffs between correctness, performance, and maintainability.
Cloud & Infrastructure
Own backend services on Microsoft Azure - app services, databases, messaging, storage, and access management. Work closely with DevOps to improve deployment pipelines and infrastructure reliability.
CI/CD & DevOps Collaboration
Support and improve CI/CD pipelines for fast, safe deployments. Bring a production-minded perspective to automation, rollback strategies, and release confidence.
Security & Compliance
Proactively embed security into the development process - secure coding practices, data protection, access controls, and compliance awareness relevant to enterprise financial systems.
Quality & Observability
Set standards for testing (unit, integration, e2e), code review, and observability. You should care deeply about knowing when things break before customers do.
Technical Mentorship
Unblock engineers around you. Share context, raise the quality of code reviews, and help the
team develop good engineering intuition - without needing a management title to do it.
What We're Looking For
Required
• 6 -10 years of backend engineering experience with strong depth in .NET Core.
• Solid understanding of RESTful API design, service architecture, and distributed systems.
• Strong relational database skills - schema design, query optimization, indexing (PostgreSQL or SQL Server)• Security-conscious mindset with practical experience applying secure coding practices
• Ability to operate independently in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
Strong Plus
• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS architecture and tenant isolation patterns
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (App Services, SQL, Service Bus, Key Vault, etc.)
• Experience with CI/CD tooling and deployment automation
• Background in financial systems - payments, invoicing, reconciliation, audit trails
• Exposure to event-driven architecture, background job processing,and async workflows.
• Prior experience in a tech lead, staff engineer, or equivalent hands-on senior role.
What We Offer
• Competitive salary and benefits
• A small team where your decisions actually shape the product
• Hard problems worth solving - no ticket-factory work
• Flexibility and trust to get things done your way
