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
