AI Device Agent

Location : India / Remote

Contract : 1–2 months initially (extendable)

Reports to : AI / ML Lead

About Us

We’re building a next-generation AI personal assistant — a cross-device digital butler that

listens, understands intent, and executes real-world tasks like booking flights or securely

fetching files from your laptop.

Unlike chatbots, our platform focuses on real action-taking AI.

We’re an early-stage, founder-led startup moving fast and building ambitiously.

We’re now hiring a Device Agent Engineer to build the lightweight desktop client that

powers cross-device automation.

Role Overview :

You will build a secure background agent that runs on user laptops (Windows / macOS),

maintains a persistent connection to our backend, and executes commands like file search

& secure upload.

This is a systems-level engineering role — perfect for developers who enjoy networking, OS

internals, security, and backend interaction.

You’ll work directly with the AI / ML Lead to ensure the agent integrates safely and reliably

into the AI platform.

What You’ll Be Doing :

• Build a cross-platform desktop agent using Python or Go
• Maintain a persistent WebSocket (or gRPC) connection with the backend
• Implement :
• Heartbeats & connection monitoring
• Command execution queue
• File search across directories
• Secure file upload pipeline
• Enforce permissions & directory restrictions
• Handle :
• retries
• reconnection logic
• graceful failure recovery
• Package the agent into easy-installable binaries (Win / macOS)
• Ensure minimal resource usage (CPU / memory)
• Implement logging, diagnostics & basic telemetry
• Work closely with backend & mobile teams to test end-to-end flows

Security & Reliability (Critical) :

Bonus Points :

Shortlisting Questions (attach answers when applying) :

1. Share examples of desktop agents, CLI tools, or automation services you’ve

built.

2. Describe your experience with WebSockets or long-running connections.

3. How would you secure file transfers & prevent unauthorized access?

4. Primary OS / platform experience?

5. Availability & timezone?
