Software Engineer - Backend (AI/ML & Vision)

Overview

Terafac is seeking a Software Engineer - Backend (AI/ML & Vision) to join our team focused on making a transformational AI-Vision platform for Industrial Robots. The ideal candidate will have exposure to training Computer Vision and Robotics AI models. The position will involve taking these skills and applying them to solve for some of the most crucial & most exciting technology challenges of our generation.

About Terafac
Terafac is where AI meets the real world.
We’re building an AI-Vision platform that enables industrial robots to see, think, and adapt like skilled human workers - transforming how physical work gets done across global manufacturing.
Operating at the intersection of AI, computer vision, robotics, and manufacturing, Terafac is addressing global challenges such as labour shortages and the need for scalable automation. Our systems are already live in production environments, with active scale-up across India and international markets.
At Terafac, you’ll work on some of the hardest, most meaningful problems in AI, Computer-Vision and robotics, with deep hands-on exposure and ownership in a fast-paced, high-impact startup shaping the future of manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities

1. Design, build, and own backend systems with explicit state models, invariants, and failure semantics, ensuring correctness under retries, concurrency, and partial failures
2. Architect scalable, observable, and operable services (REST APIs, async pipelines, job systems, real-time backends) with clear contracts, idempotency, and well-defined state transitions
3. Drive reliability-first backend design: anticipate failure modes, implement graceful degradation, and lead incident response, postmortems, and systemic fixes
4. Own backend systems end-to-end in production, including deployment, monitoring, on-call readiness, and continuous reduction of operational risk and complexity
5. Collaborate closely with ML, robotics, and frontend teams to ensure backend systems interface cleanly and safely with perception, control, and operator-facing applications

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, or related fields, AND/OR relevant technical knowledge and practical experience
• Strong hands-on experience with Python and building production-grade REST APIs; ability to design clean, explicit backend contracts
• Deep understanding of backend fundamentals including state management, concurrency, retries, consistency trade-offs, and failure handling
• Ability to read, reason about, and improve large backend codebases with a focus on correctness and long-term maintainability

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong command of Python backend ecosystems and experience designing robust REST APIs used by multiple consumers
• Comfort with 3D geometry, matrix operations, and linear algebra, especially when interfacing backend systems with vision or robotics components
• Experience with socket-based communication and real-time or near–real-time data flows
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex backend and system concepts clearly to cross-functional teams
• Experience building or operating systems in high-reliability environments where failures are costly and correctness matters
