About the Role
Our client is hiring a Backend Engineer (India-based, Remote) to design, build, and scale the core memory infrastructure powering production-grade AI agents.
This role is intended for an experienced engineer with 7–10 years of backend engineering experience, who has deeply internalized AI-native engineering practices and actively builds using tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, or comparable AI development tools as a core part of their workflow.
The hiring process is intentionally non-traditional and skill-first. There is no evaluation based on IIT pedigree, LeetCode performance, or conventional resume filters. Instead, the only evaluation criterion is: how you build with AI in real-world scenarios.
Candidates are expected to submit prompt logs or transcripts from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Windsurf demonstrating a feature or product they are proud of.
What You'll Own
- Build and scale backend systems powering the memory infrastructure of the product
- Own and deliver features end-to-end, integrating AI coding tools into the core development workflow
- Design, manage, and optimize database, storage, and retrieval systems for persistent memory
- Collaborate closely on system architecture, scalability, performance, and reliability engineering
- Contribute directly to product roadmap decisions based on real customer usage and production insights
Requirements
Must-Have
- 7–10 years of backend engineering experience
- Demonstrated ability to build with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, or comparable)
- Ability and willingness to submit prompt log transcripts from a feature or product you are proud of
- Strong Python fundamentals
- Strong PostgreSQL or comparable relational database fundamentals
- Comfort owning systems end-to-end in production
- Based in India, remote work from anywhere in the country
Nice-to-Have
- Prior AI infrastructure or developer tools product experience
- FastAPI fluency
- Open-source contributions in AI, memory, vector databases, or developer tools
- Prior experience in memory systems, RAG pipelines, or vector database engineering
- Public technical writing or conference talks on AI-native engineering practices

Most sales tools help you send emails. We’re building something different.
At Salesforge, we’re creating autonomous AI agents that can:
Find the right prospects
Generate highly personalized outreach
Run conversations
And book meetings
All without human involvement.
Why this is interesting
A lot of AI products stop at “generate text.” We’re focused on outcomes.
That means solving problems like:
How do you generate messages that actually get replies?
How do you evaluate and improve agent performance over time?
How do you orchestrate millions of AI-driven interactions reliably?
How do you combine structured data + LLMs in a way that scales?
If you enjoy working at the intersection of systems + AI + real-world feedback loops, this will feel like a playground.
What you’ll be working on
You won’t be maintaining legacy systems.
You’ll be:
Designing and building core backend systems that power our AI agents
Creating APIs and services that handle high-scale, real-time workflows
Working with queues (Kafka / SQS / RabbitMQ) to orchestrate async systems
Thinking deeply about performance, cost, and reliability in AI pipelines
Shipping features end-to-end with a small, senior team
The team
We’re a small group of experienced builders. We move quickly, care about quality, and avoid unnecessary process.
No layers of management.
No long planning cycles.
Lots of ownership and autonomy.
What we’re looking for
5+ years of backend engineering experience
Strong system design fundamentals
Experience with distributed systems and async processing
Familiarity with relational and/or document databases
Clear communicator, low ego, high ownership
Why join
You’ll work on a product where the output is measurable (meetings booked, revenue generated)
You’ll have real ownership from day one
You’ll be early in building a new category (AI sales agents)
You’ll grow as fast as we do

We're hiring Drumbeat's first Senior Product Engineer to help us go to the next level.
We're not first-timers. We're the team that founded Phrasee in 2015 and grew it to more than 100 people, customers around the world, and a >$100m exit. Lots of people made lots of money, including the founding employees.
With Drumbeat, our plan is to do it all again… except this time, bigger and faster.
What is Drumbeat?
Drumbeat (www.drumbeat.com) predicts your next best action on LinkedIn, then copilots your team to turn invites, DMs and posts into pipeline.
We launched in September 2025 and have raised a £2m seed round led by a well-known VC. We're building the core team around our cofounders (Parry, Jonny and Dan) and Mohit, our Engineering Manager and Phrasee's first engineer. You'll report to Mohit.
What you'll be building on
- Setlist: a short, ordered list of the right things for each person to do today.
- Radar: predicts who each rep should connect with now, not everybody who matches a job-title search.
- Riff and AuthorDNA: help people find something worth saying, and write it in their own voice.
- Campaigns, Conversations, Backstage and Analytics: team-wide activity, replies, company knowledge and reporting.
Under the hood: Django and PostgreSQL, background jobs on Redis, LLM workflows, statistical models that learn what works, and integrations with LinkedIn and CRMs. A lot of our code is written with AI coding agents, inside a strict engineering process.
How we think about engineering
- "Human-first AI, not AI-first humans." AI agents write a lot of our code. They don't make our decisions. We want someone super smart without AI, and even smarter with it, who knows when the machine is blowing smoke.
- "Spend 55 minutes on the problem." Understand what's actually wrong before you fix it.
- "Fix the class, not the instance." Every bug is an example of something bigger. Find the pattern, and fix it everywhere it lives.
- "A check must be able to fail." A test you've never seen go red proves nothing.
- "You don't need a Ferrari to drive to the supermarket." Simplicity over cleverness, every time.
What you'll own
- Technical architecture. How Drumbeat is built, so it holds up as we add customers, features and integrations.
- Shipping features end to end. From Parry and Mohit's briefs, and turning Parry's MVPs into production features.
- Foundations. Scale, resilience (safe retries, timeouts and fallbacks when outside services wobble), cost and refactoring.
- What you build. Once it's live, it's yours: you maintain it and fix it.
- The hardest bugs. The ones nobody else can crack.
Your experience
- 8+ years as an engineer, at a product company, preferably B2B SaaS.
- Time at a smaller company, so you know how to get stuck in.
- You've owned a system in production, not just added features to one.
- Senior Python and Django: Postgres, background jobs, correctness in production.
- System architecture and refactoring.
- You direct AI coding agents well, and explain trade-offs in plain English to people who aren't engineers.
Where you'll work
Delhi / NCR. You'll be in our Delhi office some days each week, alongside Mohit.
Pay
₹40–65 lakh CTC, plus equity that vests as the company hits revenue milestones.
This is probably not a job for most people. Don't apply if you want an easy job. Apply if you want a hard one: lots of responsibility, very little bureaucracy, plenty to figure out, and a genuine chance to shape what this company becomes… and make a bunch of money as a result.
If that sounds exciting, LET'S PARTY.
