Job description

About Anuvaya

We think conversational AI agents will deliver all professional services in India. We started with astrology. We’re a small group of engineers, designers, and product folks building at the intersection of conversational AI and domain expertise. Making an AI agent sound human-like is hard. Making an AI an expert in a domain is also hard. We’re doing both together.

We’re backed by Accel, Arkam Ventures, and Weekend Fund.

The Role

Our product is Vaya – an AI‑powered astrology app used by hundreds of thousands of people. The Product Engineering team builds everything the user touches: the consumer app, the conversational interface, the astrology tools, the content systems, and the internal dashboards that keep everything running.

This isn’t a "take a Figma file and implement it" role. You’ll be in the room when we decide what to build, and you’ll own it from idea through to production. Our highest‑traffic features – marriage predictions, kundli matching, panchang calculators – are tool pages that combine real‑time astronomical computation with AI‑generated insights. You’ll build things that sit at that intersection.

What You’ll Do

• Build consumer‑facing features end‑to‑end – from UI to API to database
• Own the frontend experience across web and mobile – performance, interactions, polish
• Build tool pages that combine real‑time computation with AI‑generated analysis
• Work on the conversational interface – the chat UI that surfaces a stateful AI agent to users
• Build internal tools – admin dashboards, content management, analytics views
• Ship SEO‑driven pages at scale – bilingual (EN/HI), city‑specific, schema‑optimized
• Work directly with design and product to define what we build, not just how

What We’re Looking For

• Strong full‑stack engineering skills – equally comfortable building a polished UI and designing an API
• Deep frontend expertise – care about performance, accessibility, and the details that make an interface feel right
• Experience shipping consumer products – built things real people use and felt the pressure of that
• Move fast without breaking things – pragmatic engineering, not over‑engineering
• Own a feature from "we should build this" to "it’s live and working"
• Good design instincts – notice when something is off by 4 pixels

Bonus

• Experience with our stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Bun, Elysia
• Familiarity with SEO at scale – hreflang, structured data, programmatic page generation
• Experience building real‑time or streaming UIs (chat interfaces, live updates)
• Worked on content management systems or headless CMS architectures
• Built for Indian audiences – payments (UPI), localization, mobile‑first constraints

How We Work

We care about craft obsessively. Your work gets questioned, pulled apart, and rebuilt – not because we’re harsh, but because everyone here holds each other to a standard most places don’t bother with. We work out of a hacker house in Vasant Kunj and strongly encourage everyone to be in office.

If that sounds like the only way you’d want to work – let’s talk.
