Summary:

We're building the Enkrypt Platform (guardrails, red teaming, and policy enforcement for AI applications) and integrating it into Anaconda's broader AI enablement platform. Our development and research team is based in India, and we need our first US based senior engineer to bridge time zones, lead customer issue response during US business hours, and turn cutting edge research capabilities into reliable, enterprise grade product features. You'll own full stack delivery, shape architecture, and build the engineering foundations that scale our platform for Anaconda's growing customer base.

• Design and ship full stack features across our Next.js/React/TypeScript dashboard and Python/FastAPI backend services.
• Build secure, versioned APIs and extend our Kong API gateway with custom plugins for authorization (OpenFGA, OAuth 2.x) and rate limiting
• Develop async workloads on Argo Workflows and NATS JetStream, owning GitOps deployments through ArgoCD, Helm, and Kubernetes
• Improve reliability, latency, and observability for production services using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana, joining the on call rotation to support enterprise customers
• Productionize research team capabilities (guardrails and red teaming features built on LiteLLM and vLLM) into backward compatible, testable product code
• Use AI coding agents daily (Kilo) to design, build, and review faster, and help the team adopt effective AI assisted workflows
• Strengthen CI/CD pipelines, increase test coverage, and improve supply chain security with image signing, SBOMs, and vulnerability scanning
• Lead US business hours customer issue response, writing clear handoffs to the India team and collaborating with product, customer success, and platform teams across Anaconda

• Platform uptime, error rates, and guardrail response times improve, demonstrating increased reliability and performance for enterprise customers
• Lead time to production decreases and change failure rate drops as CI/CD maturity and test coverage increase
• Time to resolve customer issues during US business hours decreases, reducing overnight wait times and improving customer satisfaction
• Adoption of Enkrypt capabilities across Anaconda's customer base grows as research features become production ready and integrated into the broader platform

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with demonstrated full stack ownership (frontend and backend) in production environments
• Experience owning production services end to end, including responding to incidents, maintaining backward compatibility, and improving reliability over time
• Proficiency building and deploying web applications and APIs using modern frameworks (React, Next.js, FastAPI, or similar)
• Ability to make autonomous technical decisions, write clear documentation and handoffs, and operate as the senior engineer online during US hours
• Willingness to travel for department meetings 2 to 3 times per year and to India 1 to 2 times per year, and to participate in an on call rotation

• You've worked at a fast paced startup where you wore multiple hats, built foundations from scratch, and shipped features under ambiguity
• You have experience at an open source, AI, or data science company and understand the unique demands of supporting developer facing enterprise platforms
• You're fluent with Kubernetes, GitOps tooling (ArgoCD, Helm), infrastructure as code (Terraform), and cloud platforms (AWS, EKS), and you've built or extended API gateways
• You've productionized machine learning or AI research, turning experimental code into reliable, testable services that enterprise customers depend on
• You're an effective communicator across time zones and cultures, experienced collaborating with geographically distributed teams and writing handoffs that reduce friction
• You embody our values: 'Curious by Default', 'Build Together', 'Own It', and 'Lead with Guts and Heart', and our behaviors: Clarity, Care and Candor
• You care deeply about fostering an environment where people of all backgrounds and experiences can flourish

• You'll thrive in a high-performance environment where results are recognized and rewarded
• Your work directly contributes to shaping the future of data science, machine learning, and AI in the enterprise.
• You'll work alongside a collaborative team that values diverse, thoughtful discussion, clarity and candor.
• You'll be supported by a culture that puts employees first - with flexible hours, a fully remote setup, and a genuine commitment to your wellbeing and growth.
