About the role

As a Senior Python Developer, you will design, develop, and deploy intelligent, AI‑powered systems that support scalable, production‑ready services across the platform. This role focuses on building robust service logic, exposing AI models through secure APIs, and ensuring reliable delivery of AI‑driven features.

You will work closely with data scientists, engineers, and product teams in an agile environment, contributing across the full lifecycle of AI services—from development and deployment to monitoring and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities
  • Develop robust service logic to expose AI models via RESTful APIs using frameworks such as FastAPI or Flask
  • Collaborate with data scientists, engineers, and product teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions
  • Work within Azure cloud infrastructure, leveraging containerised environments for scalable and reliable deployments
  • Support model lifecycle management using tools such as Databricks Mosaic AI and AI Foundry, ensuring governance, traceability, and performance monitoring
  • Implement data preprocessing pipelines and feature engineering workflows
  • Ensure codebases are secure, scalable, maintainable, and aligned with software engineering best practices
  • Monitor deployed models and services, iterating based on performance metrics, feedback, and evolving requirements
  • Maintain clear documentation and appropriate testing coverage for all developed components
  • Contribute to shared design, development, deployment, and monitoring practices within cross‑functional agile teams
Requirements
  • Strong proficiency in Python, including object‑oriented and functional programming
  • Solid experience building API‑driven services using FastAPI or Flask
  • Familiarity with data manipulation libraries such as Polars, Pandas, and NumPy
  • Experience with model deployment and serialisation (e.g. Joblib, Pickle, TorchScript)
  • Hands‑on experience with LangChain and other open‑source frameworks for AI agents and orchestration pipelines
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, including Git‑based version control and testing with Unittest or Pytest
  • Understanding of API security practices, including authentication and input validation
  • Experience working with Azure cloud platforms and Docker‑based containerisation
  • Ability to work effectively in agile environments
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with cross‑functional teams
Nice to Have
  • Experience working closely with stakeholders to shape and refine AI‑powered solutions
  • Demonstrated ability to adapt to changing requirements and iterate on deployed services based on real‑world feedback
  • A continuous improvement mindset, focused on improving reliability, scalability, governance, and maintainability
  • Experience managing AI services end to end, including deployment, monitoring, documentation, and ongoing support
  • A future‑focused approach to building scalable, secure services aligned with long‑term platform needs
Benefits
  • Fixed Shifts: 12:00 PM - 9:30 PM IST (Summer) | 1:00 PM - 10:30 PM IST (Winter)
  • No Weekend Work: Real work‑life balance, not just words
  • Day 1 Benefits: Laptop and full medical insurance provided
