Location: Bangalore

Experience: 2–5 years

Type: Full-time | On-site

Open Roles: 2

Start: Immediate

Why this role exists

Most systems work at a low scale.

Very few survive real production load, complex workflows, and enterprise edge cases.

We are building a platform that must:

  • Scale from 500K → 20M+ interactions/month
  • Handle complex insurance workflows reliably
  • Become easier to deploy as it grows, not harder

This role exists to build the backend foundation that makes this possible.

What you’ll do

You will not just write services.

You will design and own core platform systems.

1. Scale the platform without breaking architecture

  • Scale from 50K → 2M+ interactions/month
  • Ensure:
  • High availability
  • Low latency
  • Fault tolerance
  • Avoid large rewrites — build systems that evolve cleanly

2. Build the workflow automation (WA) engine

  • Design a flexible system with:
  • States
  • Stages
  • Cohorts
  • Dynamic workflows
  • Ensure workflows:
  • Handle edge cases reliably
  • Can be configured easily
  • Move from:
  • Hardcoded flows → configurable execution engine

3. Build the insurance-specific data layer

  • Design data models for:
  • Policy states
  • Claim workflows
  • Consent tracking
  • Ensure the system works across:
  • Multiple insurers
  • Multiple use cases
  • Build a platform-first data layer, not use-case-specific hacks

4. Make deployment and setup simple

  • Ensure workflows and data models are:
  • Easy to configure
  • Easy to launch
  • Reduce friction for:
  • Product teams
  • Deployment teams

5. Create a compounding data advantage

  • Build a data layer that:
  • Improves with every deployment
  • Captures structured signals
  • Ensure data becomes a long-term edge, not just storage

6. Own production reliability

  • Participate in on-call rotation across 3 engineers
  • Ensure:
  • Incidents are handled quickly
  • Root causes are fixed permanently
  • Build systems where reliability is shared, not individual

What success looks like

  • Platform scales to 2M+ interactions/month smoothly
  • Workflow engine supports complex, dynamic use cases
  • Data layer enables fast deployment across accounts
  • Edge cases are handled without constant firefighting
  • System becomes easier to use as it grows
  • Production issues are rare and predictable

Who you are

  • You have 2-5 years of backend engineering experience
  • You have built:
  • Scalable systems
  • Distributed services
  • You think in:
  • Systems
  • Data models
  • Trade-offs
  • You are comfortable owning:
  • Architecture
  • Production systems

What will make you stand out

  • Experience building:
  • Workflow engines
  • State machines
  • Data-heavy platforms
  • Strong understanding of:
  • System design
  • Distributed systems
  • Failure handling
  • Experience working in:
  • High-scale production environments

Why join

  • You will build the core backend of an AI platform
  • Your work directly impacts:
  • Scale
  • Reliability
  • Product capability
  • You will design systems that move from:
  • Use-case specific → platform-level infrastructure

What this role is not

  • Not just API development
  • Not limited to feature-level work
  • Not disconnected from production realities

What this role is

  • A system architect
  • A builder of scalable platforms
  • A driver of long-term technical advantage

One question to self-evaluate

Can you design backend systems that scale, handle edge cases, and become easier to use as they grow?

Role overview

The client is building a multimodal AI platform that processes multi-hour video, audio and text to generate structured insights, narratives and highlight workflows for broadcasters and media organisations.

 

We are seeking a Backend / Platform Engineer to design and build high-throughput media pipelines, robust APIs, and model-serving infrastructure that connect our AI engine (video perception + multimodal reasoning) to real products and customer environments.

 

This is not a CRUD‑only backend role.

 

You will work on:

  • long‑running jobs
  • distributed processing
  • GPU inference orchestration
  • storage for embeddings and metadata
  • integration with AI models
  • reliability and observability at scale

 

Key responsibilities

Media ingestion & processing pipelines

  • Design and implement ingestion pipelines for multi‑hour video and audio content.
  • Build microservices for frame extraction, audio processing, transcription integration and metadata generation.
  • Handle long‑running, asynchronous jobs using queues, workers and robust retry strategies.
  • Integrate with FFmpeg or similar tools for transcoding, segmenting and preparing media for AI models.

API & platform architecture

  • Design and implement REST/gRPC APIs that expose AI model outputs (perception, multimodal alignment, narratives) to frontend and external systems.
  • Define clear contracts for internal services and external integrations.
  • Implement authentication, authorisation and rate‑limiting for platform endpoints.
  • Ensure backward‑compatible API evolution as the product matures.

Model‑serving & AI integration

  • Integrate with AI inference services (video models, multimodal models, LLM/VLM) running on GPUs or specialised infrastructure.
  • Design request/response flows that handle large payloads, streaming outputs and structured results.
  • Optimise throughput and latency for inference pipelines, including batching, caching and concurrency control.
  • Collaborate closely with AI engineers to productionise models and debug end‑to‑end behaviour.

Storage, data models & performance

  • Design data models to store embeddings, timelines, metadata, scene/shot boundaries, and narrative units.
  • Work with appropriate storage technologies (SQL/NoSQL, object storage, search indices) based on access patterns.
  • Implement indexing and query strategies for fast retrieval of segments, highlights and multimodal insights.
  • Optimise performance for large datasets and high‑volume workloads.

Reliability, observability & operations

  • Implement logging, metrics and tracing across services for debugging and monitoring.
  • Set up health checks, circuit breakers and graceful degradation for critical services.
  • Work with CI/CD pipelines to ensure safe, repeatable deployments.
  • Collaborate on Kubernetes‑based deployments (or equivalent orchestration) for scaling services.

 

Requirements (must‑have)

Experience:

  • 4–8 years in backend or platform engineering.
  • At least 3 years working on distributed systems, high‑throughput services or complex pipelines (not just simple CRUD apps).

Languages & frameworks:

  • Strong proficiency in Python or Node.js (one primary, both are a plus).
  • Experience with at least one modern backend framework (FastAPI, Flask, Express, NestJS, etc.).

Distributed systems & pipelines:

  • Hands‑on experience with queues and workers (e.g. Celery, RabbitMQ, Kafka, SQS, etc.).
  • Experience building asynchronous, long‑running job pipelines.
  • Understanding of idempotency, retries, backoff, and failure handling.

APIs & integration:

  • Strong experience designing and implementing REST APIs (gRPC is a plus).
  • Experience integrating with external services and handling network‑level failures.

Cloud & infrastructure:

  • Experience deploying services on AWS, GCP or Azure (EC2/Compute Engine, S3/GCS, IAM, networking basics).
  • Experience with Docker; exposure to Kubernetes is a strong plus.

Data & storage:

  • Experience with SQL and at least one NoSQL store.
  • Ability to design schemas and data models for performance and maintainability.

Engineering quality:

  • Strong debugging skills across services and environments.
  • Experience with unit/integration tests for backend systems.
  • Clear, structured communication in English.

 

Nice‑to‑have

  • Experience with media/video processing (FFmpeg, transcoding, segmenting).
  • Experience with AI/ML model integration (serving models, handling inference requests).
  • Experience with search/retrieval systems (e.g. Elasticsearch, vector databases).
  • Experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
  • Experience working with remote teams across time zones.

 

What we are explicitly NOT looking for

To reduce noise and mismatches, we are not looking for:

  • Pure CRUD‑only backend developers with no pipeline or distributed systems experience.
  • Engineers who have only worked on small, single‑service apps without scale or complexity.
  • Candidates who cannot explain trade‑offs in architecture, data modelling and reliability.
  • Candidates who are uncomfortable with ownership of subsystems end‑to‑end.

 

Why join us

  • Work on real, complex problems at the intersection of media, AI and distributed systems.
  • Collaborate with senior AI engineers working on perception, multimodal fusion and narrative reasoning.
  • Build the core platform that turns AI models into a usable product for broadcasters and media organisations.
  • Operate with high ownership, clear expectations and direct access to the CTO.
