AI Engineer — Full Stack & Agentic Systems (Night Shift)
Company: 3WheelsAI
Location: Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh
Employment type: Full-time, permanent
Shift: Night shift — [9:00 PM – 6:00 AM IST] (fixed, to overlap with [US / EU] clients) Experience: [1–5] years
About the role
We're looking for an engineer who is genuinely fluent with today's AI platforms — not just an occasional ChatGPT user, but someone who builds with them. You'll design, ship and babysit AI agents and the applications around them: writing the Python that powers them, building the interfaces people actually use, and debugging the strange failures that only show up in production at 3 AM.
This is a night shift position. Our engineering coverage window aligns with business hours, so you'll be the person on point while the rest of the world sleeps. That means real ownership, fewer interruptions, and a team that trusts you to make calls on your own.
What you'll do
- Build, deploy and maintain AI agents and LLM-powered features end to end — prompting, tool/function calling, retrieval, evaluation, and guardrails
- Write clean, production-grade Python for backend services, data pipelines and agent orchestration
- Develop full stack features: APIs on the backend, responsive interfaces on the frontend
- Integrate third-party AI platforms and APIs (Claude, OpenAI, open-source models) and pick the right one for each job
- Use AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot and similar) to move fast — while reviewing every line that ships
- Monitor systems during the night window, triage incidents, and resolve or escalate with clear handover notes
- Prototype quickly, measure, and iterate as requirements and models change under your feet
- Document what you build so the day shift can pick it up without a call
What we're looking for
Must have
- Strong Python — you can write it, read someone else's, and debug it under pressure
- Hands-on experience with AI platforms and LLM APIs: prompt design, function/tool calling, RAG, embeddings, vector stores
- Working knowledge of AI agent frameworks and AI coding agents — you know how they behave, where they break, and when not to use them
- Full stack capability: REST APIs, databases, and a modern frontend framework ([React / Next.js / Vue])
- Git, and comfort with cloud deployment ([AWS / GCP / Azure]) and Docker
- Genuine problem-solving instinct — you dig into root causes instead of patching symptoms
- Adaptability: this space moves monthly, and you're energised by that rather than exhausted by it
- Willingness and ability to commit to a permanent night shift schedule
- Clear written English — much of your communication will be async
Nice to have
- Experience with agent orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, MCP or similar)
- Evaluation and observability for LLM systems (tracing, eval harnesses, cost/latency tuning)
- Fine-tuning, model serving, or working with open-weight models
- CI/CD, testing discipline, and basic security awareness for AI systems
- Prior experience working a night or on-call shift for an international team
