- Integrate third-party AI services, machine learning models, and intelligent application components into production software systems.
- Design and maintain reliable ETL and data-processing pipelines for structured and unstructured data used by AI and machine learning applications.
- Use libraries such as Pandas and NumPy to support data transformation, processing, and preparation workflows.
- Write comprehensive automated tests using tools such as pytest and maintain strong standards for code quality, documentation, maintainability, and reliability.
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards, reusable components, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Containerize applications using Docker and support deployments across cloud environments through CI/CD pipelines.
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize applications to improve scalability, stability, performance, and operational efficiency.
- Collaborate with data scientists, machine learning engineers, and other software developers to translate AI concepts and prototypes into production-ready solutions.
Requirements:
- 3–6 years of professional software development experience, with advanced proficiency in Python and strong knowledge of software engineering principles.
- Hands-on experience building backend applications, RESTful APIs, microservices, or asynchronous services using Python.
- Practical experience with modern Python frameworks such as FastAPI, Django, or Flask.
- Strong understanding of JSON, API design, relational databases, and/or NoSQL databases.
- Experience integrating machine learning models, LLMs, third-party AI APIs, or other AI-enabled technologies into software applications.
- Familiarity with data-processing and scientific Python libraries, particularly Pandas and NumPy.
- Experience developing automated tests using pytest or comparable testing frameworks.
- Working knowledge of Docker, Git, Linux environments, and fundamental cloud infrastructure concepts.
- Understanding of CI/CD principles and experience supporting automated build, testing, and deployment workflows.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with an ability to debug complex software and AI-related issues.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively alongside data scientists, ML engineers, and software engineering teams.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, or a related technical field.
Benefits:
- Annual compensation of approximately INR 2,000,000–3,200,000 CTC, depending on experience and skills.
- Full-time, mid-to-senior-level employment opportunity.
- Remote-friendly working model with flexibility across India.
- Location options including Bangalore, Pune, hybrid, or remote across India.
- Opportunity to work at the intersection of software engineering and artificial intelligence.
- Hands-on exposure to Python, modern backend frameworks, AI/ML model serving, data pipelines, Docker, CI/CD, and cloud technologies.
- Opportunity to collaborate with experienced data scientists, machine learning engineers, and software developers.
- Exposure to production-scale AI applications and technically challenging engineering projects.
- Environment focused on clean code, engineering quality, automation, scalability, and continuous technical improvement.
