Software Development Engineer 2

About:

Kissht is a digital lending company. We listed on the Indian stock exchanges on May 8, 2026. Our consumer product is Ring a lending and transactions platform used by millions of customers. We are building one of Indias most modern lending stacks.

Role & responsibilities:

• AI features end-to-end across Voice, LAP, Customer Service, and Onboarding from prototype to production, depending on what each initiative needs at the moment.
• Internal tools that make the pod faster: eval dashboards, prompt playgrounds, data explorers, integration scaffolding.
• Production integrations between external AI vendors and Kissht systems APIs, webhooks, data pipelines, observability.
• Compliance with Kisshts data and security standards. You design for PII safety from the first commit.
• Pair work with the AI Product Lead and Tech Lead to translate specs into shipped artefacts.

Must-haves:

• Strong Python. Comfortable with backend services, REST, async patterns, and webhooks.
• Genuine versatility. You have shipped quick prototypes and you have run production integrations. You do not specialise in only one of those.
• High comfort with LLM APIs. You have built non-trivial things on production-grade LLMs.

Why we are hiring an AI Pod -

AI is changing how lending works. The opportunities for Kissht sit across five capability areas:

• Document intelligence across Indian languages
• Voice AI in Indian languages
• Agentic workflows
• Internal AI productivity
• Measurement and evaluation

We are setting up a dedicated AI Pod to drive work across these capability areas and to set the template for how AI work gets done across Kissht.
