Everyone's chasing smarter AI. We're chasing better engineering.

The industry has a narrative: hire AI engineers, build AI wrappers, ship fast. But at Kapittx, we believe the next breakthrough isn't another model or another framework. It's something older and harder, disciplined, fundamentals-driven software engineering applied to an AI-native world.

Prompt engineering led to context engineering. Context engineering led to agent engineering. But underneath all of it? The thing that actually makes systems work at scale is the same thing it's always been: good software engineering.

System design. Clean abstractions. Thoughtful trade-offs. Ownership of production systems. The ability to think in systems, not just write code.

We're not hiring AI engineers. We're hiring software engineers — the kind who understand that AI agents are powerful tools, but tools that still need human judgment to architect, review, correct, and ship reliable software.

About Kapittx

Kapittx (www.kapittx.com) is an AI-powered, cloud-based platform specializing in invoice-to-cash accounts receivable automation and reconciliation, integrated with B2B Payments. We champion the digital transformation objectives of CFOs and Finance teams at large enterprises.

Distinguished by ISO27001, SOC1, and SOC2 Type 2 certifications, Kapittx is purpose-built for modern finance.

Founded by two payment industry veterans:

• Kumar Karpe, ex-CEO, Ingenico ePayments India
• Anand Ramachandran, ex-CFO, Ingenico ePayments India

What This Role Is Really About

This isn't a role where you prompt an LLM and call it engineering.

At Kapittx, AI agents are part of the engineering workflow. They assist with code scaffolding, refactoring, test generation, documentation, and analysis. But the human engineer owns what matters: system design, architecture decisions, domain modeling, quality standards, and production readiness.

Your job is to bring the judgment, discipline, and craft that no model can replicate. You guide, review, refine, and elevate what AI produces — ensuring correctness, scalability, security, and real-world usability.

We are a young organization. Everyone wears multiple hats. We are handcrafting our technology platform from the ground up. If you believe the future of engineering is human + AI working as one, and you want to be part of defining what that looks like, this is your role.

What You'll Do

• Work closely with founding members, senior engineers, and AI agents to understand deep domain problems and build robust solutions
• Review, validate, and improve AI-assisted code to meet production-grade quality, performance, and security standards
• Design and implement clean, extensible solutions across frontend, backend, and data layers
• Own the reliability, clarity, and maintainability of the systems you build
• Contribute to defining how humans and AI agents collaborate in our engineering workflow
• Participate in design discussions, architectural decisions, and brainstorming sessions
• Continuously learn — about users, finance workflows, emerging technologies, and AI-driven development practices

What We're Looking For

Core Engineering Fundamentals (Non-Negotiable)

• You think in systems, abstractions, and trade-offs — not just code
• Solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, distributed systems, performance, and security
• 1–4 years of hands-on experience building extensible, production-ready software

Full-Stack Capability

• Comfortable working across frontend, backend, and APIs
• Experience with modern stacks: AWS, ReactJS, Java/Spring, Python, NodeJS, MySQL

Engineering Discipline

• You write code that other engineers (and future you) can read, maintain, and trust
• Proficient with Git, debugging complex issues, and owning code in production

AI-Aware (Not AI-Dependent)

• Comfortable using AI tools and agents for development
• Eager to learn how to work with AI effectively — but you don't need AI to think clearly or solve hard problems

Mindset

• Outcome-driven: you focus on what needs to be true, then work backward
• Curious and adaptable: excited by change and continuous improvement
• Collaborative: you foster trust, clarity, and engineering rigor in your team

Tech Stack

AWS, ReactJS, MySQL, Spring, Java, Python, NodeJS, Git, Windsurf, English

Why Kapittx?

• Build with fundamentals, not hype. We value engineering craft over tool-chasing. The best engineers we know are the ones who understand why things work, not just how to prompt them.
• Work with an experienced team. Direct access to the founding team means you'll learn how real products are built and shipped.
• Shape the future of AI-native engineering. You won't just use AI — you'll help define how humans and AI collaborate to build better software.
• Build globally relevant fintech. Our platform serves large enterprises. The problems are real, complex, and meaningful.
• Grow fast. In a startup this size, your contributions genuinely matter. There's no hiding, and there's no ceiling.
