Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Senior Backend Engineer role sits at a clear inflection point in SaaS: bringing agentic AI into enterprise customer experience workflows where reliability, latency, and multi-tenant constraints matter as much as model quality. With Level AI positioned as an AI-native platform for contact centers and described as Series C, the work is anchored in production realities rather than experimentation, spanning real-time systems, orchestration, and operational guardrails.
For a SaaS engineering career, the standout value is exposure to the full lifecycle of AI features as a platform capability: evaluation frameworks, feedback loops, and deployment patterns that keep behavior consistent over time. The remit also maps closely to modern SaaS platform engineering, including event-driven architectures, API design, observability, and cost-aware scaling, all of which transfer across B2B software companies building data-intensive products.
This role fits engineers who prefer owning backend foundations that other teams build on and who enjoy cross-functional problem solving with applied AI and product counterparts. It will suit someone comfortable making architectural tradeoffs, working in hybrid cadence, and translating ambiguous customer workflows into durable systems rather than one-off integrations.

Job Description
About Level AI
Level AI is on a mission to turn every customer interaction into a strategic advantage. Our AI-native platform helps enterprises transform contact centers from cost centers into engines of customer intelligence, operational efficiency, and business growth. By combining advanced AI with deep domain understanding of customer experience, Level AI empowers teams to unlock actionable insights, automate workflows, and deliver more consistent, higher-quality support across the customer journey.
Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Level AI is a Series C company backed by leading investors including Battery Ventures and ENIAC. Our platform leverages Large Language Models and Custom Small Language Models (SLMs) to power AI Agents across the entire CX journey—customer-facing agents, agent-assist, and backend automation—along with deep conversation analytics for QA, coaching, and insights.
With a fast-growing team in India, we are building a strong engineering presence in Noida to drive innovation across our platform.
About the role
As a Lead Engineer – AI Agents, you will play a critical role in building the scalable backend systems that power Level AI’s next-generation AI Agents. These systems operate in real-time, high-volume enterprise environments and are central to delivering intelligent, production-grade AI experiences.
This role is based in Noida (Delhi NCR) with a hybrid work model (2–3 days/week in office).
You will work at the intersection of distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and AI-powered applications—bringing agentic AI capabilities into production at scale.
\n
What you’ll get to do at Level AI (and more as we grow together):
-
Design and build scalable backend systems powering AI Agents that operate in real-time enterprise environments
-
Develop agent orchestration frameworks (multi-step reasoning, tool usage, decisioning workflows)
-
Build systems for agent memory, context management, and state persistence across interactions
-
Architect low-latency inference pipelines integrating LLMs, SLMs, and external tools/services
-
Implement evaluation (evals) frameworks to measure agent performance, accuracy, and reliability
-
Enable continuous improvement loops (feedback → retraining → deployment) for AI agents in production
-
Design and manage event-driven, asynchronous workflows for complex agent tasks
-
Optimize systems for high throughput, low latency, and cost-efficient inference at scale
-
Build and maintain robust APIs and service layers (REST / gRPC) for agent capabilities
-
Partner closely with Applied AI / ML teams to productionize models and agent behaviours.
-
Collaborate with Product and Solutions teams to translate real customer workflows into agentic systems
-
Drive best practices in observability, monitoring, safety, and guardrails for AI systems
-
Contribute to architecture decisions for scaling multi-tenant, enterprise-grade AI platforms
We'll love to explore more about you if you have: 5+ years of experience in backend engineering, distributed systems, or platform engineering
