The core technology includes an AI-powered learning engine, a 24x7 multilingual virtual tutor and Clario, a psychometrics-backed career guidance system. Aligned with NEP 2020 policies, GeniWay is on a mission to make high-quality learning accessible to every student in India, regardless of their background or region.

What you’ll do

• Build the career assessment backbone: attempt lifecycle (create/resume/submit), timing metadata, partial attempts, idempotent APIs.
• Implement deterministic scoring pipelines with versioning and audit trails (what changed, when, why).
• Own Postgres data modeling: schemas, constraints, migrations, indexes, query performance.
• Create safe, structured GenAI context payloads (controlled vocabulary, safety flags, eval datasets) to power parent/student narratives.
• Raise reliability: tests for edge cases, monitoring, reprocessing/recalculation jobs, safe logging (no PII leakage).

Must-have skills

• Backend development in Python (FastAPI/Django/Flask) or Node (NestJS) with production API experience.
• Strong SQL + PostgreSQL fundamentals (transactions, indexes, schema design, migrations).
• Testing discipline: unit + integration tests for logic-heavy code; systematic debugging approach.
• Comfort using AI coding copilots to speed up scaffolding/tests/refactors — while validating correctness.
• Ownership mindset: cares about correctness, data integrity, and reliability.

Good to have

• Experience with rule engines, scoring systems, or audit-heavy domains (fintech, healthcare, compliance).
• Event schemas/telemetry pipelines and observability basics.
• Exposure to RAG/embeddings/vector DBs or prompt evaluation harnesses.

Location: Pune (on-site for first 3 months; hybrid/WFH flexibility thereafter)

Employment Type: Full-time

Experience: 2–3 years (correctness-first; strong learning velocity)

Compensation: Competitive (₹8–10 LPA fixed cash) + ESOP (equity ownership, founding-early employee level)

Joining Timeline: 2–3 weeks / Immediate

Why join (founding team)

• You’ll build core IP: scoring integrity and data foundations that everything else depends on.
