AI-Powered Software Engineer

This role is for one of the Weekday's clients

Min Experience: 1 years

Location: Bengaluru

JobType: full-time

As an AI Engineer, you'll work at the intersection of software engineering and AI, developing applications that harness the power of foundation models to solve real-world challenges. Given the fast-evolving nature of this space, you’ll tackle problems that haven’t been fully solved yet—a unique opportunity to experiment, innovate, and push boundaries. If you thrive in dynamic environments and enjoy solving complex technical challenges, this role is for you!

What We Look For

✅ Problem Solver & Product Thinker – You approach challenges with creativity and focus on impact rather than just implementation.
✅ Speed & Efficiency – We value fast learners who can build and iterate quickly while maintaining high-quality standards.
✅ Curiosity & Adaptability – You’re always exploring new technologies and approaches to stay ahead of the curve.

Requirements

Technical Requirements

AI Skills:

• Experience building prototypes and AI-powered products using LLMs.
• Understanding of various AI models and their capabilities.
• Strong prompt engineering skills to guide AI outputs effectively.

Backend Skills:

• Solid grasp of networking fundamentals (HTTP request/response cycle, DNS, proxy servers).
• Experience with relational databases, API development, queues, and cron jobs.
• Familiarity with DevOps tools (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean) is a plus.
• Bonus: Experience with real-time networking (WebSockets).

Frontend Skills:

• Strong fundamentals in JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.
• Experience with frontend frameworks like React, Vue, or Svelte.
• Ability to build responsive and adaptive UIs with a keen eye for design consistency.
• Strong debugging and root cause analysis skills.

The Future of AI Engineering

We believe AI is reshaping software development—moving from writing code manually to orchestrating AI to generate and refine code. Think of it as leading a team of AI-powered junior developers, where your role is to provide context, guide AI-driven workflows, and ensure quality output.

If you already leverage AI coding assistants in your development workflow, we’d love to have you on board!
