Software Engineer

NeuralQ Systems is building infrastructure to govern AI agent actions and digital transactions. The Software Engineer will develop backend services, integrations, and tools that enforce authorization, provenance, and auditability while maintaining secure credential isolation and system reliability.

Responsibilities:

• The Software Engineer will design, implement, and maintain backend services that enforce authorization, provenance, and audit across MCP-based agent infrastructures
• Day-to-day responsibilities include writing high-quality, secure code, integrating with external digital public infrastructure such as UPI, ONDC, and DigiLocker, and building adapters and tooling that fail closed under error conditions
• The role involves collaborating with founders and peers to refine system architecture, improve performance and reliability, and ensure strong isolation of credentials and secrets through careful process and system design
• The Software Engineer will also participate in code reviews, testing, documentation, and continuous improvement of development workflows and security practices

Requirements:

• Strong foundation in Computer Science, including data structures, algorithms, and systems concepts
• Proficiency in Software Development and Programming, with experience shipping production-grade services
• Hands-on experience in Back-End Web Development, working with APIs, microservices, and integration layers
• Solid understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and clean, modular code design
• Experience with secure and reliable distributed systems, particularly in high-stakes or financial contexts
• Familiarity with modern development tooling (version control, CI/CD, automated testing) and observability practices
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Ability to work collaboratively in a small, fast-paced team, communicate clearly, and take ownership of complex problems
• Comfort working with cryptographic protocols, authentication/authorization mechanisms, or key management is highly beneficial
• Interest in India's digital public infrastructure and securing AI agent ecosystems is a strong plus
