Tensteps Technologies is looking for a Backend AI/ML Engineer (AI/ML Python Focus) with
2–4 years of experience to build scalable, cloud-based backend systems. You’ll design APIs,
integrate relational and NoSQL databases, and develop solutions using Python, AI/ML
frameworks and Python data science libraries. Your work will support innovation across
payments, banking, and cards domains by building intelligent, data-driven backend services
deployed on AWS or Azure.
Responsibilities:

• Write well-tested, clean code, contribute to internal documentation, and support production
  incidents related to model services

  learning model inference, training pipelines, and data services.
• Develop and manage RESTful APIs and async services using Python (preferably FastAPI)
  for delivering ML models at scale.
• Manage data interactions via SQL and NoSQL databases and connect to data lakes, feature
  stores, and object storage.
• Use cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) to deploy scalable, secure, and observable
  backend services.
• Ensure system reliability through monitoring, logging, alerting, and effective exception
  handling.

Required Skills:

• 2–4 years of backend development experience using Python with frameworks like FastAPI
  (preferred), Flask, or Django.
• Proven experience in serving ML models via APIs, including experience with model
  packaging and inference latency optimization.
• Experience with databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis.
• Understanding of version control (Git), RESTful architecture, and software testing practices.
• Comfortable working independently, owning features end-to-end, and collaborating
  asynchronously with ML or data teams.
