Software Engineer, AI-Native

Role Overview

PyjamaHR is an applicant tracking system used by 600+ paying companies to run their hiring. The engineering team is deliberately small and AI-native in practice, where engineers work inside agentic coding tools like Claude Code or Codex to solve real-world production problems with speed and verification.

Responsibilities

• Own tickets end to end: reproduce, fix, test, ship, and monitor in production.
• Perform production engineering on the ATS, including managing asynchronous task chains, email queues, and resume parsing.
• Develop and refine the AI interviewer, focusing on speech-to-text reliability and interview logic.
• Build and harden new surfaces like the candidate database and redesigned career pages.
• Work on billing rebuilds, including Razorpay subscriptions and UPI Autopay.
• Optimize infrastructure and database retention on AWS.

Requirements

• 0–5 years of professional experience (exceptional freshers welcome).
• Strong proficiency in Python; experience with Django, Celery, and Postgres is preferred.
• Comfortable with React; TypeScript is a plus.
• Genuinely AI-native: must have built something with AI that performs multi-step work (e.g., an agent, pipeline, or automation).
• Strong verification habits: writing tests, reading diffs, and checking production data.
• Clear communication skills for explaining bugs and writing detailed pull request descriptions.
