You will tackle challenges in advanced retrieval, context engineering, and long-running asynchronous processing, directly impacting our platform's intelligence and performance. As an early member of the team, you will have significant ownership and a clear path for growth into a leadership position.

What You'll Do:

• Design, develop, and maintain robust and scalable backend services using Python and FastAPI.
• Architect and implement production-grade Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines for our core proposal generation engine.
• Build and manage complex, long-running asynchronous workflows (e.g., multi-document analysis, compliance report generation) using
  Azure Function Apps
  , particularly leveraging orchestrators and activity functions (Durable Functions).
• Work extensively with our database stack, including
  MongoDB
  for application data and
  Qdrant
  for vector search and retrieval.
• Implement and refine techniques in prompt engineering, context engineering, and advanced retrieval to improve the quality and relevance of our AI-generated content.
• Collaborate closely with a small, cross-functional team to define features, solve problems, and deliver high-quality solutions.
• Take full ownership of features from conception to deployment, embodying a product-first mindset to ensure our solutions effectively solve customer problems.

Who You Are (Required Qualifications):

• 3+ years
  of professional software engineering experience, with a strong focus on backend development.
• 1+ year of hands-on, production-level experience
  building and deploying applications powered by Generative AI (specifically with RAG architectures).
• Strong proficiency in
  Python
  and experience building APIs with frameworks like
  FastAPI
  (or Django/Flask).
• Demonstrable, in-depth experience with
  Azure Function Apps
  for creating complex, stateful, and asynchronous workflows. This is a must-have skill.
• Practical experience working with both NoSQL databases (e.g.,
  MongoDB
  ) and vector databases (e.g.,
  Qdrant
  , Pinecone, Weaviate).
• Experience integrating with third-party LLM APIs (e.g., Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini/PaLM).
• Excellent problem-solving skills and a strong foundation in data structures and system design.
• A strong sense of ownership, adaptability, and a product-first mindset. You're motivated by seeing your work solve real-world problems.
• Must be based in or willing to relocate to Bangalore.

Nice-to-Haves (Preferred Qualifications):

• Familiarity with AI frameworks like LangChain or LangGraph.
• Experience with building AI agents or multi-agent systems.
• Prior experience working in a fast-paced startup environment.
• An interest in mentoring junior engineers and growing into a technical leadership role.
