YC-backed startup Sei is recruiting a senior DevOps engineer to join its Chennai or Gurgaon offices. The role focuses on building infrastructure for an agentic AI platform serving financial institutions. Candidates need deep experience with AWS and Kubernetes, and the position offers a competitive salary range up to ₹3.5M INR plus equity.

Pranay Shetty and Ramkumar Venkataraman founded the company in 2023. They previously built products at PayPal and Deutsche Bank. Sei’s platform automates complex workflows for banks and enterprises. The founders emphasize a hands-on culture where engineers tackle real-world scaling challenges immediately.

Applicants must submit answers to specific questions via email, bypassing traditional resumes. The interview process includes a take-home assignment and technical discussions with the CTO. Sei prioritizes bias toward action and strong intrinsic motivation over formal credentials or institutional pedigree.
