We hire people who want to build whole products — not tickets.
Every engineer here spends 80% of their time building and 20% teaching what they have learned. Both halves are the job. Teaching is not a tax on your build time — it is the fastest way we have found to discover what you only half understand.
Open roles
Roles are 80% building, 20% teaching. On-site in Ongole remains the default — not a routine schedule.
Junior AI, ML, and Python Engineer
Build AI tools and the systems around them, and teach Applied AI to academy students. You will ship things that go to real users and then explain how they work to somebody learning it for the first time.
Junior AI Full Stack Engineer
Own products end to end — interface through to database — and teach Full Stack Engineering to academy students. Next.js, React, Supabase, and whatever the problem actually needs.
What we offer
Stated plainly, because you should be able to decide without a conversation.
Progressive probation
Pay during probation is lower than what you will earn after. That is deliberate — you are still learning the work, and the company is still learning what you can do. Assessments matter; the number does not get dressed up.
After probation
After probation, pay depends entirely on how you performed during it — not on a fixed ladder published in advance. ESOPs are part of that picture: you own a piece of what you help build.
Whole products, not fragments
You take something from the research handoff to the person using it. This is slower for us to staff and it is the only version of the job worth offering.
Ongole first
Not a 9 to 6 job. Comfort, stability, and a routine schedule are the wrong reasons to join — we run like a high-performance sports team, and a conventional mindset does not work here. On-site in Ongole remains the default: you build from the place we chose on purpose. Hyderabad is how we meet the wider ecosystem — not how we replace home.
How hiring works
Apply with your work
Not a resume full of adjectives. A link to something you built counts for more than a list of frameworks.
Timed response challenge
It is not a puzzle test — we want to see how you think when you cannot ask an AI to think for you.
Technical conversation
We will talk about something you have actually built, including the parts that went wrong.
In-person session
In Ongole. You meet the room you would be working in before either of us commits.
What this job is not
The things worth knowing before you apply.
It is not remote
Not partly, not sometimes. The teaching half requires a room with students in it, and the building half works better with everyone at the same table.
It is not a large salary on day one
See the numbers above. If you need a large salary on day one, this is the wrong role and we would rather you knew that from the page than from the offer.
It is not a ticket queue
Nobody here is handed a narrow slice of somebody else's design. That is a benefit for some people and genuinely uncomfortable for others.
It is not only for the already-excellent
We hire recent graduates, mostly from within about a hundred kilometres of Ongole. What we need is someone who wants to build badly enough to be bad at it in front of other people first.
