Job description

We are seeking a Lead Engineer to design, build, and scale intelligent AI-driven systems using Python, FastAPI, and Azure AI services. This role requires strong expertise in LLMs, agentic workflows, and document extraction systems, along with the ability to make informed architectural decisions by evaluating trade-offs across performance, cost, accuracy, and scalability.

The ideal candidate is hands-on, technically deep, and capable of guiding design discussions, reviewing complex codebases, and mentoring engineers while delivering production-grade AI solutions.

Responsibilities include leading the design and development of scalable, high-performance Python services, building and maintaining REST APIs using FastAPI, implementing async processing for I/O-heavy and compute-intensive workloads, and designing and implementing LLM-based and agentic workflows using Azure AI Studio.

The successful candidate will also be responsible for architecting document and data extraction pipelines for structured and unstructured inputs (PDFs and other formats), evaluating and clearly communicating technical trade-offs and design decisions, debugging, optimizing, and hardening systems for production use, reviewing and refactoring complex Python codebases, ensuring maintainability and type safety, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into technical solutions.

This is a full-time position based in Remove, India. The ideal candidate will have 7+ years of hands-on experience in backend engineering, AI/ML systems, or platform development, with demonstrated leadership in designing and scaling complex systems.

The successful candidate will be a strong problem-solver with excellent analytical and communication skills, and will be able to work effectively in a fast-evolving AI problem space.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, and the opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with a talented team of engineers.
