Senior Software Engineer

Quantbot; Delhi; On-site; INR 1,200,000 - 1,800,000; Full time

Job summary

Quantbot is seeking engineers who can ship software in production in a fast-paced environment. You will own meaningful systems end-to-end, mentoring peers and deciding what to build, with a focus on leveraging coding agents rather than writing all code by hand.

Experience in AI-driven or agent-based products is a plus, and you should be comfortable guiding the team to shipping robust, extensible solutions. The role emphasizes ownership, fast learning, and impact.

Qualifications

• 3+ years shipping software in production, with time at a fast-paced startup or AI company.
• A track record of owning meaningful systems end-to-end.
• Strong intuition for what's worth building vs. skipping.
• Comfortable reviewing and mentoring, not just writing code.
• Prior work on AI-driven or agent products is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Build systems through coding agents and direct them; writing code by hand is slow.

Job description

Batch: 2022 and before.

What's Hard:

• The decisions you make ripple. A data model you pick today will be hard to unpick in six months. Getting them right requires seeing further than the ticket in front of you.
• The product moves fast. You have to build systems that are correct for today and extensible for the requirements we haven't discovered yet — without over-engineering for hypotheticals.
• You own quality across the team. If a junior ships fragile code, that's partly on you — you either caught it in review, or you helped raise the bar before it happened again.
• You'll do most of the building through coding agents; writing code by hand is too slow now. What matters is directing them well and catching when they're wrong.

What We're Looking For:

• 3+ years shipping software in production, with time at a fast-paced startup or AI company.
• A track record of owning meaningful systems end-to-end.
• Strong intuition for what's worth building vs. skipping.
• Comfortable reviewing and mentoring, not just writing code.
• Prior work on AI-driven or agent products is a plus.
