Java Developer (Contract Role)

🚨 We’re Building a “Top 1% Engineering Org”

We’re building a high-talent-density, AI-first R&D organization from scratch — inside a publicly listed company undergoing a full-scale transformation.

Think:

→ Rewriting legacy systems into AI-native architectures

→ Embedding LLMs + Agentic AI into core workflows

→ Reimagining platforms, infra, and data systems for the next decade

This is the kind of shift you’d expect from Google, Microsoft, or Meta —

Except you get to build it from day 0 → scale it globally.

About the Role / Team

We are building a next-generation AI-first R&D organization in Bengaluru, focused on solving complex problems across LLMs, Agentic AI systems, distributed computing, and enterprise-scale architectures.

This initiative is part of a publicly listed global company investing heavily in AI-driven transformation, re-architecting its platforms into intelligent, autonomous systems powered by large language models, workflows, and decision engines.

You will be working on:

• Agentic AI systems & LLM-powered workflows
• Distributed, scalable backend systems
• Enterprise-grade AI platforms
• Automation-first engineering environments

🚀 The Mandate

Own and evolve the technical backbone of an AI-first enterprise platform.

You will define architecture across LLM-powered systems, distributed services, and data platforms — and lead critical transformations from legacy → AI-native systems.

🧩 What You’ll Do

• Architect large-scale distributed systems powering AI-driven workflows
• Lead 0→1 and 1→N platform builds (LLM integrations, agentic systems, orchestration layers)
• Redesign legacy systems into scalable, modular, AI-native architectures
• Drive system design excellence across teams (APIs, infra, observability, reliability)
• Make high-stakes decisions on trade-offs (latency, cost, scalability, model performance)
• Mentor senior engineers and influence engineering culture/org standards
• Partner with product, data, and leadership on long-term technical strategy

🧠 What We’re Looking For

• Proven track record building high-scale backend or platform systems
• Deep expertise in distributed systems, microservices, cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure)
• Strong exposure to data systems/infra / Data / real-time architectures
• Experience or strong interest in LLMs, GenAI, or AI system design
• Exceptional system design, abstraction, and problem-solving ability
• High ownership mindset — you think in terms of systems, not tickets
• Strong coding skills in Python / Java / Go / Node.js
• Solid understanding of data structures, system design basics, and backend architecture
• Experience building scalable APIs and services
• Familiarity or curiosity around AI/LLMs, async systems, or event-driven design
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, and ownership mindset
• Solve hard system problems (latency, scale, reliability)
• Drive cross-team technical decisions and standards
• Mentor senior engineers and influence org-wide architecture 
• Design large-scale distributed systems and backend platforms
• Mentorship & Technical Leadership 
• Expertise in system design, scalability, and performance optimization

Nice to Have

• Experience integrating LLMs, vector databases, or AI pipelines
• Contributions to architecture at scale
• Experience with Agentic AI / LLM orchestration frameworks
• Background in product engineering or platform companies
• Exposure to global-scale systems (millions of users / high throughput)

🔥 What Sets You Apart

• Built platforms used by millions of users / high-throughput systems
• Experience with event-driven systems, stream processing, or infra platforms
• Prior work on AI/ML platforms, model serving, or intelligent systems
