Role: Software Engineer (Full Stack / Agentic AI Systems)

Type: Full time, Paid

Location: Hyderabad, In-office

About StepsAI

Steps AI is an agentic AI platform that powers customer-facing AI agents for businesses across e-commerce, SaaS, healthcare, real-estate, EdTech, and financial services. Our agents go live in under five minutes from a single URL, learn the business by ingesting websites, documents, FAQs, and product catalogs, and deploy across the website, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Slack, and as standalone agent sites.

The Role

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer who can build and own product systems end-to-end - from AI orchestration to backend services to customer-facing interfaces.

This is not a narrow role.

You will:

Work directly with founders
Design and ship features used by real customers within days
Own problems across the full stack
Help shape the technical direction of the product

What You Will Work On

You'll contribute across a production AI platform that includes:

Agentic AI systems - Designing intelligent agents that reason, take actions, and integrate with real tools
Data ingestion & workflow pipelines - Systems that process documents, crawl data, and continuously update knowledge
Backend platform & integrations - APIs, business logic, and integrations with external systems (e-commerce, CRM, messaging, etc.)
Customer dashboard & AI interfaces - Building intuitive UIs, real-time interactions, and embeddable experiences
Production systems - Reliability, performance, observability, and scaling real-world usage

Tech Stack

You don't need experience in everything, but you should be comfortable picking things up quickly.

Backend: Python (FastAPI), Node.js / TypeScript (NestJS or similar)
Frontend: React, Next.js, modern state management
AI/LLMs: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini (or similar APIs)
Data & Storage: PostgreSQL, Redis, vector databases (e.g., Milvus / Pinecone / Weaviate)
Workflows & Processing: Background jobs, async processing, workflow orchestration tools
Integrations: APIs across SaaS tools (CRM, e-commerce, messaging platforms)
Infra & DevOps: Docker, cloud platforms (AWS / GCP), basic CI/CD and monitoring

What We're Looking For

You've shipped real systems to production and can demonstrate it.

Core skills:

Strong backend experience (Python and Node.js)
Experience working with APIs, async systems, and databases
Frontend experience with modern frameworks (React / Next.js or similar)
Comfortable working across the stack when needed
Experience building or integrating AI/LLM-based systems is a strong plus

Bonus (not required):

Experience with agentic systems or LLM workflows
Familiarity with retrieval systems or vector databases
Experience integrating third-party platforms
Startup or high-ownership environment experience

How Your Work

You ship fast — ideas go live in days, not weeks
You take ownership — from problem to production
You debug deeply — not just surface-level fixes
You think in systems, not just tasks
You can turn ambiguous problems into shipped features

Why Join

Work on real AI products, not prototypes
Direct access to founders and product decisions
High ownership from day one
Small team, high impact
