Senior Software Engineer

Job Description

Our Hyderabad office is a core innovation hub, not a satellite. Engineers here lead the design and build of new product capabilities used globally — working alongside our data scientists, architects, and product teams in the U.S.

If you’re passionate about building new systems from the ground up, solving complex engineering problems, and seeing your work have a real-world impact, Lyric.ai is the place for you.

Why Lyric India?

• Build new products — your code ships into production and directly impacts millions of customer transactions.
• High visibility and global exposure — collaborate daily with other senior and staff engineers, architects, and leadership across the U.S. and India.
• Work at the intersection of AI + Software Engineering — integrate AI, data, and automation into next-generation platforms.
• Be part of a growing innovation hub in Hyderabad — where your ideas shape the roadmap.
• Competitive compensation, hybrid flexibility, wellness benefits, and a collaborative, inclusive culture that encourages experimentation and growth.

What You’ll Do

Build, Innovate, and Own:

• Design, develop, and maintain high-performance microservices in a modern .NET/C# environment.
• Architect and optimize data pipelines and storage solutions that power our AI-driven products.
• Collaborate closely with AI and data teams to bring machine learning models into production systems.
• Build integrations with external services and APIs to enable scalable, interoperable solutions.
• Ensure robust security, scalability, and observability across distributed systems.
• Stay ahead of the curve — evaluating emerging technologies and contributing to architectural decisions for our next-gen platform.

Collaborate and Influence:

• Partner with product managers, architects, and data scientists across global teams to align technical strategy with product vision.
• Be part of a team that values innovation, transparency, and shared ownership — where engineers directly influence what gets built next.

Mentor and Elevate:

• Provide technical guidance and code reviews that raise the bar for quality and performance.
• Help create a growth-minded engineering culture that encourages experimentation, learning, and accountability.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of professional experience, including 5+ years designing and maintaining scalable backend systems using C#/.NET and microservices architecture.
• Strong experience with SQL and NoSQL data stores.
• Solid hands-on knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Proven ability to design for performance, reliability, and security in data-intensive systems.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in a global, cross-functional environment.

Bonus Points For:

• Startup experience - specifically in building product from 0-1
• Exposure to AI/ML-powered systems, data engineering, or large-scale data processing.
• Experience in healthcare or fintech domains.
• Familiarity with modern DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).
