Weekday AI

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India permanent

Posted: January 15, 2026

Job Description

This role is for one of the Weekday's clients

Salary range: Rs 2200000 - Rs 2800000 (ie INR 22-28 LPA)

Min Experience: 1 years

Location: Bengaluru

JobType: full-time

We’re building the intelligence layer that powers modern brands—AI products that sit at the intersection of large language models, data, and real-world decision-making. These systems already support high-impact use cases for large consumer platforms, and the next phase is about building core infrastructure and product capabilities from the ground up.

This is a true founding engineer role. You’ll help define how systems are built, how products evolve, and how engineering standards take shape—working directly with the founders in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment.

Requirements:
What You’ll Do

• Build and ship production-grade, LLM-first AI products
• Own systems end-to-end—from architecture and implementation to iteration and scaling
• Collaborate closely with founders on product direction and technical decisions
• Design scalable backend systems and user-facing features
• Move quickly, experiment often, and continuously improve based on real usage
• Take responsibility for quality, performance, and reliability

Who This Role Is For

• Founding Engineers / Software Engineers / Full-Stack Developers
• 1–3 years of experience (strong builders matter more than titles)
• Hands-on experience with product companies, AI startups, or deep-tech projects
• Comfortable working in ambiguity and turning open-ended problems into shipped solutions
• Strong problem-solving mindset with high ownership

Nice to Have

• Experience building or deploying AI/LLM-based systems
• Open-source contributions or recognized technical programs (e.g., GSoC)
• Meaningful side projects or previously shipped products
• Genuine passion for building—engineers who enjoy coding beyond just the job

Not a Fit If

• You frequently switch roles without delivering depth or ownership
• You prefer highly structured environments with predefined playbooks
• You are looking for a remote-only role

Why Join

• Work on real, production-scale AI products from day one
• High ownership and direct collaboration with founders
• Opportunity to shape core systems and engineering culture
• Fast learning curve in a small, high-trust team
