🚨 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
