EngineeringChennai / RemoteFull-timeTeam: Agent Runtime

Build the runtime that executes thousands of agents per day - subprocess sandboxing, HITL checkpoints, LangGraph orchestration, and cost-aware routing across providers.

About the team

Agent Runtime is a small, senior team building one of the most consequential layers of the Apragya platform. You'll work directly with the founders and the engineering / product leads - decisions are made in days, not quarters.

What you'll do

  • Ship end-to-end features across our backend (FastAPI / PostgreSQL) and frontend (Next.js 14) - we hire generalists, not silos
  • Design APIs, data models, and runtime behavior that work for hundreds of tenants out of the box
  • Own a slice of the platform - production, on-call, customer escalations, the works
  • Write the AI integration patterns the rest of the team builds on top of

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years building production software, ideally in B2B SaaS or enterprise systems
  • Strong with at least one of: Python / TypeScript / Go - and a deep familiarity with relational databases
  • Track record of owning a system from design to production, not just shipping features
  • Comfortable working across the stack and across teams - we're small and the layers blur

Nice to have

  • Prior experience in early-stage startups - you've seen what works and what doesn't
  • Open-source contributions or technical writing that shows how you think
  • Familiarity with our stack (Next.js 14, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Celery, Claude API)

What we offer

  • Meaningful equity - everyone has skin in the game
  • Comprehensive health insurance for you, your spouse, parents, and kids
  • Remote-friendly with optional offices in Chennai and Bangalore
  • Learning budget for courses, conferences, books, certifications
  • Best-in-class gear and a parental leave policy that respects your life outside work
