AI Engineer (Bangalore)

👋 About Xanadu

Xanadu helps mid-market organisations in the Middle East move from AI experiments to AI that actually runs in production. We’re a Certified Services Partner, Claude Partner Network, building on Claude for the reasoning, workflow and agent layer, and a Canva partner for the creative and communications layer.

We work in pods: a Forward Deployed Engineer onsite with the customer, a Senior AI Engineer leading the build, an AI Data Engineer owning the data and how agents find it, and you shipping it.

⚙️ The role

You’re a builder. You take a design and turn it into agents, integrations and workflows that real people use every day, then make sure they keep working.

🎯 What you’ll own

• Build. Ship features and agents from the pod’s design.
• Evals and tests. Prove the agent gives the right answer end to end, and prove it still does next week.
• Integrate. Connect agents to the look-up tools the pod’s AI Data Engineer builds, and build the tools agents use to take action in the customer’s systems: updating a CRM record, sending an email, starting a workflow in an ERP or Microsoft 365.
• Deploy and monitor. Get it live, watch it, fix it.
• Document. Runbooks and handover notes a customer can actually use.
• Agent-first. Use Claude Code every day, and help us work out how agents can do more of the build.
• Library. Contribute reusable pieces to our Agent Library.

📏 What good looks like

• 90 days: Claude-certified and shipping inside a live pod.
• 12 months: owning a workstream end to end, and on the track to Senior.

🔑 Must-haves

• 2 to 5 years in software engineering.
• At least one LLM-powered thing you built that real users use, at work or a serious side project.
• Python or TypeScript, APIs, git, cloud basics.
• You own your work, you’re curious, and you ask early instead of spinning your wheels.
• Clear written English.

🌟 Nice-to-haves

• MCP, agent frameworks, the Claude Agent SDK.
• Data pipelines.
• Front-end skills for internal tools.
• Already Claude-certified.

🚫 What this isn’t

• Not a demo factory. If it doesn’t run in production, it doesn’t count.

🧪 How we hire

1. Intro call (30 min).
2. Values and behaviours (45 min).
3. Bar-raiser (60 min).
4. Working session (90 min): build a small piece of a Claude agent with us, and talk through your choices.
5. Decision: within 48 hours of every stage.

💛 Why Xanadu

• Production work, not proofs of concept.
• A Senior who reviews your code properly and wants you to get better.
• Certified on Claude on our dime, and a clear ladder to Senior.
• Equity (ESOP), so you share in what you build.
• No egos, no passengers.
