Senior Backend Developer

Hiring: Senior Backend Developer (Python) — AI-Native + Agentic Workflows | AWS | Remote (India) | NCR Preferred

At EXL, we believe there’s always a better way. We look deeper, we find it, and we make it happen.

We’re looking for a Senior Python Backend Engineer (5–7 yrs) who can lead backend development, contribute to design/architecture, and build LLM/AI applications using an agentic-first, AI-led development approach. If you’re someone who can do the work a team would traditionally do—by leveraging modern AI agents/tools—this role is for you.

- Own containerized development with Docker

- Set up and improve CI/CD using GitHub / GitHub Actions (or similar)

- Build and operate on AWS infrastructure (cloud-native backend + solution design)

- Develop LLM/GenAI applications (RAG, retrieval workflows, vector-based APIs)

- Use AI coding agents like GitHub Copilot / Claude Code to accelerate delivery

- Create **prompt libraries + agent skills** to boost engineering velocity and quality
