About the Role

This is a high-impact, individual contributor role where you'll own critical ML models and backend systems from Day 1, working directly with the founding team to shape product architecture.

Location : Udupi or Mangalore, Karnataka, India

Experience : 3-5 years

What You'll Build (First 12 Months)

  • ML & Intelligence Systems (60% of role)
  • Backend & Integration Infrastructure (40% of role)

Key Technical Challenges

  • Handling India-Specific Complexity : GST rules change quarterly;
  • tax logic spans CGST / SGST / IGST / TDS with 20+ scenarios

  • Unreliable External APIs : GST Portal has 60-70% uptime;
  • you'll build resilient systems with offline fallbacks and retry logic

  • On-Premises Integration : Deploy connector agents behind corporate firewalls with auto-update capabilities
  • Data Quality at Scale : Process invoices with messy, inconsistent data while maintaining 95%+ accuracy
  • Real-Time vs Batch : Balance instant validation needs with rate-limited APIs (100 calls / min for Zoho, unpredictable for GST Portal)
  • Must-Have Technical Skills

    Machine Learning

  • 3+ years of production ML experience (preferably in OCR, NLP, or document processing)
  • Hands-on with AWS Textract, Tesseract , or similar OCR engines
  • Experience with GPT-4 / LLM fine-tuning for domain-specific tasks
  • Strong understanding of anomaly detection , statistical analysis, and fraud detection algorithms
  • Proficiency in Python (scikit-learn, TensorFlow / PyTorch, pandas, numpy)
  • Backend Engineering

  • 4+ years of backend development in Python (FastAPI / Django) or Node.Js
  • Strong REST API design and OAuth 2.0 implementation experience
  • Database expertise : PostgreSQL (transactional integrity, audit logs) and Redis (caching, queues)
  • Experience with ODBC connections and XML / SOAP APIs (for legacy system integration)
  • Understanding of workflow orchestration (Temporal.Io, Celery, or Airflow)
  • Integration & Data

  • Built integrations with unreliable third-party APIs (rate limiting, retry logic, error handling)
  • Experience with webhook systems and real-time data sync
  • Knowledge of data consistency patterns (atomicity, idempotency, rollback mechanisms)
  • Comfortable with ETL pipelines and data validation at scale
  • Nice-to-Have (But Not Required)

  • Prior experience with Indian accounting systems (Tally, Zoho Books, Busy, Vyapar)
  • Understanding of Indian tax compliance (GST, TDS, e-invoicing)
  • Familiarity with on-premise connector agents or desktop application deployment
  • Experience in fintech or financial auditing domains
  • Knowledge of Benford's Law and financial fraud detection
  • Background in security compliance (SOC2, audit trails, access controls)
  • Startup Expectations

  • Ownership : You'll own entire subsystems end-to-end (no hand-holding)
  • Speed : Ship features in weeks, not months;
  • iterate based on pilot client feedback

  • Pragmatism : Choose "build vs wrapper"
  • Documentation : Write clear technical specs;
  • you may hand off modules to junior engineers as team scales

  • On-Call Rotation : Be available for critical production issues (after Month 6)
  • Create a job alert for this search
