Description

Company Description Launched in 2007, ixigo is a leading online travel company based in Gurugram, India. Our AI-enhanced travel apps help Indian travelers navigate the complexities of travel planning and booking through innovative technology and AI-first solutions. Our platform spans travel utility and bookings across train, flight, bus and hotel bookings, and we are a publicly listed company (NSE:IXIGO). Job Description If you have ever wanted to build something that changes how engineering teams work at a fundamental level, this is that moment. What You Will Build Our product sits inside the developer's existing workflow. When something breaks in production, it detects it, reasons about it across logs, traces, and code history, writes a fix, and files it as a pull request. The engineer reviews. The loop closes without a 2am page. As the founding engineer, you will own the core of this: The agent runtime that orchestrates detection, investigation, and fix generation Integrations with error monitoring ingestion pipelines and telemetry sources Code analysis and patch generation across real production codebases The SDK that engineering teams drop in to connect their stack to our product Infrastructure that runs reliably at the scale of production error volume What We Are Looking For This is not a role with a defined scope. The right person sees an incomplete system and moves toward it. Concretely: You have built and shipped production systems at scale — distributed systems, platform infrastructure, or developer tooling You are comfortable working across the full stack of a problem: from telemetry ingestion to LLM orchestration to the PR that lands in a developer's queue You have opinions about system design and the confidence to defend them, and the self-awareness to change them You write code that other engineers enjoy reading You have worked with or alongside observability systems — OpenTelemetry, tracing, log pipelines, APM — either as a builder or as a heavy user You move fast without leaving structural debt that becomes someone else's problem Why This Role Is Different You are not joining a team. You are setting the technical direction for a company that does not exist yet in its final form. Every architectural decision you make in the next six months will be load-bearing. That is a rare kind of leverage. The problem is genuinely hard — LLM-assisted root cause analysis on real distributed systems is not solved. You will be working on something that has not been done well before. You will work directly with the founders. No layers, no process, no committee decisions on technical direction. Additional Information Our Culture: ixigo is proud to have built an entrepreneurial culture that has become a folk-lore in the startup ecosystem. One in every four ixigems has gone on to build successful startups and companies. Our cultural values of integrity, empathy, ingenuity, awesomeness, and resilience have stood the tests of time and we’ve built a fun, flexible and creative work environment that is driven by people with a high degree of ownership. You will get to work with some of the smartest folks in the Indian startup ecosystem, and solve some of the toughest problems for the next billion users by using bleeding-edge technologies. Oh, and we have an awesome “play” area, great chai/coffee, free lunches (yes, they exist!) and a workspace you will fall in love with.

Responsibilities

Lead the technical direction and build the core agent runtime for an AI-driven production error detection and fix generation system. Develop integrations with telemetry sources and create the SDK for engineering teams to connect their stacks.
