Backend Developer in Bengaluru

About Ema Ema is building the world’s leading Agentic AI platform to transform enterprise productivity. We enable organizations to delegate repetitive tasks to Ema, the Universal AI Employee, delivering 10x gains in workforce efficiency, across functions. Founded by former executives from Google, Coinbase, Flipkart, and Okta, our team includes engineers from premier tech companies and graduates of Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, CMU, and IITs. We are backed by industry leading investors including Accel, Naspers/Prosus, Section32, and angels like Sheryl Sandberg and Dustin Moskovitz. Headquartered in Silicon Valley and with offices in London, Bangalore and Vancouver, Ema is at the frontier of what Agentic AI can do in production — we ship real systems that run real business processes at scale. Who you are You are an experienced Infrastructure Engineer Engineer who owns backend infrastructure end to end. You design multi-tenant, microservices-based systems that other engineering teams build on, and you make deliberate architectural tradeoffs around consistency, latency, scale, and cost. You are comfortable going deep — service mesh internals, database internals, distributed-systems failure modes — and equally comfortable defining the reliability and security contracts an enterprise AI platform depends on. Responsibilities Design, own, and evolve scalable microservices architectures on Kubernetes across GCP, Azure, and AWS, including multi-tenant isolation (namespaces, network policies, per-tenant resource quotas and RBAC). Build core platform and data-plane components in Golang and Python — data ingestion, knowledge-base indexing and vector/graph search, application connectivity, workflow automation, and ML operations — against explicit latency and throughput SLOs. Own service-to-service communication: gRPC/protobuf API contracts, service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), load balancing, retries, timeouts, and circuit breaking. Make and document architectural tradeoffs — partitioning

MeltPlan | Planning Engine for the Built Environment MeltPlan is building the “planning engine” for the $14 Tn construction industry, an AI system designed specifically to optimize decisions before construction begins. While design software optimizes use and aesthetics and construction software optimizes execution and control, MeltPlan is building the missing layer - software that optimizes decisions and tradeoffs upstream, before scope is locked, procurement begins, and change orders become inevitable. MeltPlan’s long-term goal is to help teams make construction “boring” by making planning more intense: surfacing constraints and tradeoffs early, aligning stakeholders before plans are frozen, and reducing the need for late-stage redlines, rework, and change orders. MeltPlan is founded by operators who have built at scale. Kanav previously co-founded Innovaccer, a $3Bn health-tech company focused on making US healthcare more affordable and accessible. He’s now applying that systems-level thinking to construction.He’s joined by Tanmaya Kala, former Project Executive at DPR Construction, who led large commercial, healthcare, and life sciences projects. We combine deep tech scale with real construction execution. What This Role Really Is Code writing is a commodity. We’re not hiring someone to close tickets. We’re hiring someone who: Is biased toward building Thinks in systems Designs for scale and resilience Reviews architecture, not just PRs Can move fast without creating long-term mess You’ll ship products daily. You’ll also help shape the system so it doesn’t collapse under growth. What You’ll Do Build end-to-end features (DB → API → UI) Design scalable data models and backend architecture Ship clean, production-grade frontend experiences Review and improve system design decisions Work directly with founders on product direction Help define engineering standards as we scale What We’re Looking For Strong backend fundamentals (APIs, databases, performance, system desi

About Bolna Bolna is a YC-backed voice AI orchestration platform built for the Indian market—powering multilingual, vernacular voice agents across Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, and 10+ languages at sub-500ms latency across collections, recruitment, sales, and e-commerce use cases. We are an orchestration layer, not a model company: our moat is outcome-labelled vernacular data, rigorous evaluation infrastructure, and a growing taxonomy of how Indian enterprise voice AI fails in production. Why This Role Exists Product decisions at Bolna increasingly hinge on rigorous, code-mixed-aware data analysis—and not just one kind. On one side, there is model and evaluation rigor: LLM benchmarking for post-call intelligence, ASR/WER evaluation, inter-rater reliability on human-labelled calls, and routing and latency economics. On the other, there is product and growth insight: understanding where self-serve users drop off in their journey, what patterns emerge across lakhs of monthly calls, and which use cases and configurations are actually working. Both currently sit with the Head of Product alongside strategy and roadmap ownership. We need a dedicated analyst to own the execution and recurring cadence across both-freeing product leadership to act on findings rather than produce them. What You’ll Do Model and Evaluation Analysis LLM and model benchmarking: Run structured comparisons across model providers such as Sarvam, DeepSeek, Gemini, and Claude variants for tasks including post-call extraction and LLM-as-judge scoring. Evaluate cost, accuracy, fill rate, and TTR, with particular attention to Hinglish and code-mixed content. Evaluation infrastructure: Build and maintain LLM-as-judge pipelines using tools such as DeepEval, design and track evaluation metrics, and run inter-rater reliability analysis such as Krippendorff’s alpha across human call reviewers. Golden dataset creation: Support the construction of golden datasets for ASR and transcript labelling, including flagging co

Location : Bengaluru (On-site) + multi-city coordination Instawork Robotics Lab (IRL) Robots are getting smarter, but they still can’t reliably do the everyday physical tasks people do — chopping vegetables, stocking shelves, assembling parts. The bottleneck is data. UC Berkeley’s Prof. Ken Goldberg calls it the “100,000-year data gap”: the chasm between the massive text datasets used to train language models and the tiny amount of real-world, physical-dexterity data available to train robots. The entire robotics industry collected only ~100,000 hours of training data in 2024 and ~1 million in 2025 — and even the ~20 million hours projected for 2026 is still less than 0.04% of what is ultimately needed. IRL exists to close that gap. Using Instacore — a wearable multi-camera and sensor system (head, chest, and wrist cameras plus IMUs and a compute pack) — our field teams capture synchronized, high-diversity egocentric data of real people doing real tasks across real commercial environments: kitchens, warehouses, hotels, retail, and light manufacturing. That data is quality-checked, anonymized, and delivered to the world’s leading robotics companies and foundation-model labs to teach robots how to operate in the messy physical world. In India, we run the on-ground engine of this mission — a growing fleet of Instacore rigs, Field Officers and Data Collectors, regional hubs, and the operations and finance backbone that keeps it
