Senior AI Engineer — Ruby on Rails

Techjays · Coimbatore / Chennai · Hybrid · Immediate – 30 Days Notice

About Techjays

We're the AI Reimagination Company — and that's not a tagline we put on a deck. It's what we actually do.

Techjays helps global enterprises rebuild the way they operate using AI at the core: not as a pilot, not as a feature, but as a foundational layer across products, workflows, and infrastructure. We're an Anthropic partner, which means our engineers get early access to frontier models and tools before they hit the market.

Our team includes engineers and leaders from Google, Akamai, NetApp, ADP, Cognizant Consulting, and Capgemini. We run like a high-agency startup, but we build production systems that real enterprise clients depend on.

Every project is greenfield. Every line of code you write ships.

What This Role Actually Is

This isn't a "keep the monolith alive" job.

You'll be designing and building new AI-powered features, integrating LLM APIs into production Rails applications, and using Claude Code as a core part of your daily workflow — not as an experiment. You'll work directly with US-based enterprise clients alongside Product Managers, AI Business Consultants, and Delivery Excellence Managers.

Your architecture decisions will have visible business impact.

What You'll Own

• Design, build, and maintain production-grade Ruby on Rails applications for US enterprise clients — from architecture to deployment
• Integrate LLM APIs (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini) into the Rails stack, building AI-powered features that drive real business outcomes
• Use Claude Code daily as your AI development partner — for generation, debugging, documentation, and velocity
• Build responsive, performant React front-ends from wireframes and design specs
• Own RESTful and GraphQL API design for client applications and third-party integrations
• Drive database design and optimisation — schema, queries, indexing, and migrations on PostgreSQL/MySQL
• Lead code reviews and raise the technical bar through constructive feedback
• Document architecture decisions, API contracts, and implementation patterns

Must-Haves

• 6+ years of deep, production-grade Ruby on Rails experience — advanced framework patterns, background jobs (Sidekiq/Redis), design patterns, best practices
• Hands-on experience with Claude Code (Anthropic) for AI-assisted development — this is central to how we build
• Strong React skills — hooks, component architecture, state management, wireframe to production
• Expert-level PostgreSQL/MySQL — schema design, query optimisation, indexing, performance tuning
• Proven experience designing RESTful and GraphQL APIs at scale
• Experience integrating third-party LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini) into production Rails apps
• Strong software architecture fundamentals — MVC, service objects, design patterns, testability
• Deep comfort with Git, Gitflow, and PR-based collaboration workflows

Good to Have

• Python for scripting, automation, or backend service integration alongside Rails
• AWS familiarity — EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda — for deployment and infrastructure
• MongoDB or NoSQL in polyglot persistence architectures
• Vector databases (Pinecone, pgvector, Weaviate) for LLM application development
• LangChain, LangGraph, or similar orchestration frameworks for AI agents
• SaaS multi-tenancy patterns and high-traffic web application experience
• Open source contributions or a strong public GitHub profile

Why Join Techjays

• Claude Code is standard practice here, not a side experiment — you'll use it every day to ship faster and smarter
• Anthropic partner access — early visibility into frontier AI tools and capabilities before the market sees them
• Greenfield only — you'll design architecture, not inherit technical debt
• Global client exposure — your engineering decisions translate directly to measurable business outcomes for US enterprise clients
• Team pedigree — you'll learn alongside engineers who've shipped at real scale at Google, Akamai, and NetApp
• AI is the product here, not a feature. You'll spend your career at the intersection of software engineering and AI systems

What We're Looking For Beyond the Resume

• Builder mindset — you think in systems, not tickets
• Ownership — you take features from idea to production
• Structured thinking in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• Clear communicator, collaborative team player

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation
• Hybrid work — Coimbatore office or remote flexibility
• Paid holidays and flexible time off
• Medical insurance for self and family (up to ₹4 Lakhs per person)
• Opportunity to work on production-grade AI systems for global clients
• A culture built on clarity, integrity, and continuous growth

Location: Coimbatore / Chennai — Hybrid Notice Period: Immediate to 30 days preferred

What will be your key responsibilities?

Although it’s an engineering role, you will have significant involvement in product, hiring and business as well. You may expect following key responsibilities:

Engineering: You’ll need to write code – a lot of code. At the end of the day, your most important responsibility is to get your company’s product to market and maximize the number of product experiments that can be run. You’ll make key architectural decisions that will be pillars of the engineering organization for years to come. At the same time, you’ll have to make serious trade-offs to balance speed of execution with quality.

Product: As a founding engineer, you’ll also have a significant amount of ownership over the product direction. You should expect to spend time talking to customers, teasing out use cases, and making prioritization decisions regarding both the short- and long-term roadmap. In many cases, you will be building features in the absence of any formal product requirement document.

Support: You should also expect to spend a fair amount of time in the trenches supporting customers. You’ll probably find yourself engaging with customers in shared Slack channels, WhatsApp groups etc.

Hiring: As a founding engineer, you will spend a ton of time sourcing, interviewing, and closing early team members. 

Business: Finally, you’ll gain exposure to all other aspects of the business – from fundraising, to sales, and beyond. Although you probably won’t be closing deals or making pitch decks, you will certainly be expected to sell your product and pitch the company’s vision.

How do you know you are right fit for the role?

• You have at least 2-4 years of experience. You are proficient with most of the following languages/frameworks:
• NodeJS
• AWS
• Databases (both SQL and NoSQL)
• You crave ownership. If you often find yourself raising your hand to own things end-to-end, you will likely really enjoy the ownership afforded to you as a founding engineer.
• You’re okay with ambiguity. You won’t get product requirement documents or designs for everything you’re expected to build. A stellar founding engineer will know when to ask for clarity and when to make educated assumptions. If you tend to gravitate towards more loosely scoped projects, that’s a good indicator that you’ll do well in this type of role.
• You’re multidisciplinary. A typical day might include anything from several hours of coding, to a few customer conversations, to a technical brainstorm or architecture discussion, to an interview or two. 

• You operate at light speed. A great founding engineer should welcome this challenge and thrive under the pressure of intense deadlines. 

What will be the hiring process?

• 2 round of technical interviews
• 2 round of behavioural interview

What will be your compensation?

• Fixed: INR 20L-30L
• Bonus: 10-30% of Fixed depending upon performance.

• Equity: 0.1%-0.2%

2.       Proficiency with fundamental front-end languages such as HTML, CSS.

3.       Familiarity with JavaScript frameworks such as Angular JS, React, and Amber.

4.       Proficiency with server-side languages such as Python / Ruby / Java / PHP/ .Net.

5.       Good Understand with database technology such as MySQL, Oracle, and MongoDB.
