About the role

Senior/Staff Engineer role in Bengaluru focusing on end-to-end tech stack, building and scaling AI-driven data platforms (Instawork Lens, Instawork Prism) and cloud infrastructure for massive-scale video and telemetry data in robotics-focused AI initiatives.

Responsibilities

  • Full-Stack Versatility: Seamlessly transition between frontend, backend, and infrastructure. You will own features end-to-end, solving whatever technical challenge stands in the way of shipping.
  • Platform Ownership: Lead the technical development of Instawork Lens and Instawork Radiant, ensuring high-throughput data enrichment, labeling, and continuous quality assurance loops.
  • Infrastructure & Video Pipelines: Architect and scale our cloud environments. You will manage complex AWS infrastructure and ECS services for video transcoding, ensuring deep observability with precise telemetry across CPU, memory, network, and disk IOPS.
  • Architect for Scale: Design and optimize data pipelines capable of securely processing petabytes of global video and telemetry data without bottlenecking.
  • AI-Leveraged Engineering: Use agentic models as a force multiplier to ship faster, relying on your deep engineering fundamentals to guide the AI, spot bad patterns, and make the final architectural decisions.
  • Cross-Functional Mentorship: Act as a technical pillar for the team. Guide mid- and senior-level engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and architectural discussions to raise the bar for engineering excellence.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, database internals, and network constraints, with clean, maintainable code.
  • Extensive experience with full-stack development (Python, Django, React, or similar modern frameworks) and willingness to learn needed languages/tools.
  • Hands-on experience designing scalable backend systems and managing cloud infrastructure (AWS, ECS/Docker, CloudWatch), especially for data-heavy/high-throughput apps.
  • Startup mindset for 0-1, ambiguous, fast-paced environments; ownership and rapid shipping without sacrificing quality.
  • Genuine interest in robotics and building human-aided technology.
