This role offers significant impact and growth opportunities while staying hands-on.

  • Work closely with Data Scientists and Engineers to deliver robust, production-level AI and Machine Learning systems.
  • Develop frameworks and tools for efficient data ingestion from diverse and complex sources.
  • Operate in short, iterative sprints, delivering working software aligned with clear deliverables and client-defined deadlines.
  • Demonstrate flexibility by learning and working across multiple programming languages and technologies as required.

Additional Responsibilities:

  • Actively contribute to a high-performing engineering culture by working from ours or client offices regularly to collaborate closely with fellow senior techies, fostering strong technical discussions and decision-making.
  • Provide hands-on mentorship and technical guidance that encourages knowledge sharing, continuous improvement, and innovation within your team.

Skills you’ll need:

  • Experience as a Software Engineer
  • Experience of leading on architecture and design decisions, ensuring adherence to best practices in technology choices and system design
  • Deep understanding of programming fundamentals and expertise with at least one programming language (functional or object-oriented).
  • A nuanced and rich understanding of code quality, maintainability and practices like Test Driven Development.
  • Experience with one or more source control and build toolchains.
  • Working knowledge of CI/CD will be an added advantage.
  • Understanding of web APIs, contracts and communication protocols.
  • Understanding of Cloud platforms, infra-automation/DevOps, IaC/GitOps/Containers, design and development of large data platforms.
  • A maker’s mindset - To be resourceful and have the ability to do things that have no instructions.

What will you experience in terms of culture at Sahaj?

  • A culture of trust, respect and transparency
  • Opportunity to collaborate with some of the finest minds in the industry
  • Work across multiple domains
