Job Title

Backend Engineer - AI Startup (IIT + Competitive Programming) (Bangalore)

Company Description

Ever imagined replacing an entire finance team with a swarm of AI agents? Our client is building the "AI-powered finance team" for the next generation of scaling companies – think Ramp or Perplexity, but with AI agents that close books, reconcile cash, forecast revenue, and prep board decks – all auditable, explainable, and real-time.

These agents don't need system migrations. They plug into messy, real-world finance stacks and reason across fragmented data to deliver clean outputs instantly. No rebuilds. Just outcomes. We are building the first unified system of action & intelligence for finance. We're not building another SaaS layer. We're going after the $1T+ financial back-office problem, with infra that feels like magic and holds up to audit.

Why it's compelling:

  1. Raised $8.5M seed round from Foundation Capital, the CEO of Perplexity, the authors of the GPT paper, and finance leaders from Ramp, SAP, Gusto, and others

  2. Founded by an ACM-ICPC World Finalist, ex-Microsoft architect who scaled Azure's Finance and DNS platform to handle $200B+ in revenue/yr and trillions of queries/day, and a 2x exit founder, ex-Microsoft product leader who scaled Azure data & AI products from $1M to $200M+ ARR

Why join:

  • True founding engineer status: your fingerprints will shape the stack, the team, and the product

  • Tackle hard problems: reasoning agents, fragmented data, workflow orchestration under audit constraints

  • Go 0 to 1 repeatedly across a compound product

  • Bangalore-based, remote – in-person in 3-9 months from hiring in Bangalore

Candidate Requirements:

  • 4–8 years of backend software engineering experience
  • Strong builder/founder experience - ideally a founder (CTO) or founding engineer in a VC funded company with traction
  • Proficiency in Python, FastAPI/Flask
  • Top Tier University - IITs
  • Clear, meaningful reason to switch jobs - not just passively looking
  • Bonus: Experience with fintech, ERP/accounting systems, or AI infra is great—but not required

Must Haves

  • Competitive Programming or Math Olympiad backgrounds - IOI, USACO Camp, USACO Platinum ACM ICPC World Finals, USAMO honorable mention, USAMO winner, MOP qualifier, IMO
  • Worked at a startup from seed to Series A/B.
  • Competitive programming background (ICPC finalist, Olympiad, etc.)
  • Blend of experience across unicorn or big tech companies (Uber, Stripe, Plaid, Lyft, Instacart, Coinbase, Robinhood) and early stage startups
  • ETL/data engineering experience

Location and other Notes

  • Will be Remote (in Bangalore) to start but will be opening up an in-person office within next 3 to 6 months as the team expands.
  • 6-day/week highly committed team; early engineering hire (3rd–4th backend)
