Senior Software Engineer - Fullstack,IIT college only

🧭 Tech Lead (Backend / Fullstack | 7–10 Years)

Location: Bangalore (On-Site, Hybrid)

Company Type: Public-Listed Product Company

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

Lead execution of mission-critical systems while staying hands-on — bridging architecture and delivery.

🧩 What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end delivery of complex engineering initiatives (0→1, 1→N)
• Design systems across backend + frontend (if fullstack)
• Translate ambiguous problems into structured technical solutions
• Drive engineering best practices, code quality, and velocity
• Mentor engineers and elevate team performance
• Collaborate with stakeholders on roadmap and execution strategy

🧠 What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in backend systems + optional frontend frameworks
• Proven ability to lead projects and deliver at scale
• Solid understanding of system design and architecture patterns
• Ability to balance speed vs quality vs scalability trade-offs
• Strong communication and leadership without authority
• 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

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

• Experience leading platform builds or major system rewrites
• Exposure to AI systems, LLM integrations, or intelligent workflows
• 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

Background: We Commonly See (But Not Limited To)

• Our team often includes engineers from top-tier institutions and strong research or product company or DeepTech or AI Product backgrounds, including:
• Leading engineering schools in India and globally
• Engineers with experience in top product companies, AI startups, or research-driven environments
• That said, we care far more about demonstrated ability, depth, and impact than pedigree alone.
