Job Description
We are looking for a Python engineer who enjoys working across application logic, integrations, and production architecture. You will help design and build the software layer behind intelligent, responsive products: services that manage state, coordinate workflows, integrate external capabilities, and remain observable and reliable under real usage.
This is a product engineering role, not a model-research-only position. You should be equally comfortable writing clean code, reasoning about system behavior, and investigating what happened when a production flow did not behave as expected.
Key Responsibilities
- Build production Python services that power real-time and AI-enabled product experiences.
- Design modular architecture with clear boundaries between core business logic, workflows, integrations, and infrastructure.
- Implement asynchronous and event-driven flows that handle concurrency, timeouts, cancellation, retries, and partial failure deliberately.
- Integrate internal and external systems through well-designed APIs, streaming interfaces, queues, and data contracts.
- Own production quality through useful logs, metrics, traces, tests, performance profiling, and safe release practices.
- Diagnose real-world failures using runtime evidence, reproduce root causes, and turn recurring issues into durable fixes.
- Translate product requirements into simple technical designs that can evolve without unnecessary abstraction.
- Collaborate across functions with product, frontend, platform, data, and customer-facing teams from design through rollout.
- Raise the engineering bar through thoughtful reviews, concise documentation, and pragmatic improvements to developer workflows.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software development experience, with strong hands-on Python skills.
- Solid understanding of object-oriented and functional design, typing, packaging, dependency management, and maintainable code structure.
- Practical experience with asynchronous programming, concurrency, API design, and distributed-system failure modes.
- Experience building and operating backend services using relational or document data stores, caching, and messaging patterns.
- A strong testing mindset, including unit, integration, contract, and regression testing where each is appropriate.
- Working knowledge of containers, cloud environments, version control, CI/CD, and production observability.
- Good system-design judgment: you can make trade-offs explicit and choose the simplest design that will hold up in production.
- Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical choices to people outside engineering.
Good to have
- Experience integrating AI or machine-learning capabilities into customer-facing products.
- Exposure to conversational interfaces, streaming systems, real-time media, or multilingual applications.
- Experience with workflow engines, state machines, tool orchestration, evaluation frameworks, or human-in-the-loop systems.
- Experience building software for regulated, privacy-sensitive, or reliability-sensitive environments.
- Comfort investigating latency, quality, and user-experience issues across multiple system boundaries.
What success looks like in six months
- You understand the critical product flows, independently own a meaningful service or workflow, ship improvements with strong test coverage, and make at least one measurable gain in reliability, latency, operability, or developer velocity.
Why Join Iksha Labs?
- Opportunity to work on groundbreaking AI and Mixed Reality solutions.
- Collaborative and innovative work culture.
- Career growth opportunities with a fast-scaling tech company.
