🚀 What We’re Building

CodeRound AI matches the top 5% of tech talent with the fastest-growing, VC-funded AI startups across Silicon Valley and India.

Top-tier product startups across the US, UK, EU, UAE, and India have hired engineers through CodeRound.

We’re looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join our team and help build scalable, production-grade systems from the ground up. This is a high-ownership role where you’ll work across APIs, infrastructure, and AI/ML pipelines while directly influencing product decisions.

What You’ll Work On

Our tech stack (and evolving as we scale):

• Typescript for APIs
• Python for AI/ML workflows
• Kafka, Spark, and data warehouses for ML pipelines
• AWS, GCP, and Terraform for infrastructure

What You’ll Do

• Build clean, scalable APIs for customer integrations along with clear documentation
• Design, deploy, and scale cloud infrastructure
• Ensure end-to-end security (encryption, hashing, VPCs, privacy best practices)
• Own infrastructure as code using Terraform and enable multi-region replication
• Manage production systems including deployments, logging, and monitoring
• Establish and participate in on-call processes
• Mentor and support junior engineers
• Collaborate closely with product and customers to shape features

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience with Typescript and/or Python
• Proven experience building systems from 0 → 1 or 1 → 10
• Deep understanding of APIs, backend architecture, and secure systems
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP) and infrastructure as code
• Hands-on experience with distributed systems, data pipelines, or ML workflows is a plus
• Familiarity with Generative AI / LLMs (hallucination handling, token optimization, etc.)
• Experience working in early-stage startups with high ownership

We care more about what you’ve built than where you’ve worked. Side projects, open-source contributions, and real-world problem-solving matter most.
