SDE – Fresher ContraVault AI • On-site • India About ContraVault AI ContraVault AI builds AI-powered products for Tender/RFP intelligence and automation used by AEC and infrastructure teams. You’ll join a fast-paced product team working on clause-level analysis, competitor insights, and “Forms AI” workflows at scale. Role Overview We’re hiring entry-level Software Development Engineers who are passionate about building reliable, scalable software and who can work comfortably with modern AI tools. You will ship features end-to-end, write testable code, and collaborate across product and data teams to deliver high-quality applications. Key Responsibilities Design, develop, and ship high-quality backend and frontend features for web applications. Write clean, testable, and maintainable code with unit/integration tests and documentation. Debug, optimize, and improve existing codebases with measurable performance and reliability gains. Collaborate with product/design to translate requirements into technical solutions and APIs. Work with data pipelines and SQL/relational databases for application features and analytics. Use ChatGPT and similar LLM tools to accelerate development: scaffolding code, writing tests, generating docs, and exploring design alternatives responsibly. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent practical experience). Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Go). Solid CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, OOP, RESTful APIs, and version control (Git). SQL proficiency and understanding of relational database concepts and normalization. Familiarity with web development frameworks (e.g., React/Next.js, Flask/FastAPI, Spring Boot, or similar). AI Proficiency (must-have) Practical experience using ChatGPT for software tasks: code generation, refactoring, test authoring, documentation, and creating prompt-driven utilities. Ability to craft effective prompts (“prompt engineering”) and evaluate model outputs for correctness, performance, and security. Awareness of LLM limitations (hallucinations, context windows, latency) and techniques to mitigate them (validation, tests, guardrails). Bonus: Experience integrating LLMs via APIs (OpenAI-compatible), building simple RAG flows, or using tools like LangChain. Preferred (Nice to Have) Basic understanding of cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and containerization (Docker). Exposure to CI/CD, code quality tooling, and observability (logging/metrics). Interest in enterprise workflows (RFPs, contracts, compliance) and data-heavy applications. What You’ll Work On High-accuracy clause analysis and scoring engines for tenders/RFPs. Competitor analytics and insights dashboards. Forms automation (“Forms AI”) to streamline complex submission workflows. Internal developer tools leveraging ChatGPT for faster, safer shipping. What We Value Ownership mindset, curiosity, and bias for action. Clear communication and willingness to learn. Engineering rigor: testing culture, code reviews, and documentation. Location & Work Mode On-site role in India (team operates from Bengaluru). Compensation Competitive salary with performance-based growth.
