About Us
ConveGenius is an AI-native education infrastructure company transforming how governments, enterprises, and social institutions deliver learning and governance outcomes at population scale. Operating across B2G and B2B segments, the company partners with state governments, CSR funders, philanthropies, and social enterprises to build intelligent education ecosystems that are both impactful and commercially sustainable.
At its core, ConveGenius runs two synergistic business lines:
SwiftAI – the intelligence and automation layer that powers citizen engagement, governance efficiency, and real-time decision-making for governments and institutions.
SwiftSchool – the learning infrastructure layer that integrates adaptive learning, digital classrooms, and analytics to drive measurable student and system outcomes.
This dual-engine model enables ConveGenius to serve as the technology backbone for education reform — connecting classrooms, communities, and command centres through a unified AI-powered framework. Unlike traditional edtech companies that deliver content, ConveGenius builds infrastructure — platforms that integrate deeply into public delivery systems while enabling private and philanthropic partners to scale their missions with measurable results.
With operations across 22+ Indian states and partnerships with multilaterals, CSR alliances, and government departments, ConveGenius has established itself as a partner-friendly enterprise trusted for aligning policy priorities with social and financial returns. Supported by institutional investors and guided by a double bottom line philosophy, the company consistently delivers impact at scale and profitability with purpose.
As ConveGenius enters its next phase of growth, it is shaping the future of AI-led public education infrastructure — where technology, partnerships, and governance intelligence converge to redefine how nations learn and thrive.

Role Overview
As an SDE-1, you will build backend features and services that power learning and governance products serving millions of users across India. Working under the guidance of senior engineers, you will implement REST APIs, contribute to microservices, and explore AI-enhanced backend capabilities. This is an excellent role for an early-career engineer who is hungry to learn, enjoys writing clean code, and wants to grow into a strong backend engineer while making a tangible impact on public education at scale.
Key Responsibilities
Implement REST APIs and backend features within services owned by your team, following established design patterns and code standards.
Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, applying clean architecture and SOLID principles with guidance from senior engineers.
Contribute to AI-enhanced or agent-driven backend features using tools like LangChain or CrewAI under the mentorship of senior engineers.
Test your code thoroughly to ensure responsiveness, correctness, and efficiency before raising it for review.
Participate actively in code reviews — both receiving feedback to grow and reviewing peers' code where appropriate.
Collaborate with front-end developers to integrate UI elements with backend services.
Help troubleshoot application-related issues and assist senior engineers and the infrastructure team during incident triage.
Research and learn new tools, libraries, and patterns, and propose improvements where you see opportunities.
Assist with software installation, configuration, and deployment on servers across cloud and on-premise environments.
Support deployments through CI/CD pipelines, including releases to on-prem and state data centre (SDC) environments where applicable.
Requirements
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related field.
0–2 years of professional backend engineering experience. Strong fresh graduates with solid CS fundamentals and meaningful internship or project work are welcome to apply.
Strong working knowledge of JavaScript (ES6) and Node.js.
Working knowledge of frameworks like Express.js (Restify experience is a plus).
Foundational understanding of Node.js concepts including the event loop and asynchronous programming.
Strong fundamentals in algorithms and data structures.
Experience working with MySQL and exposure to NoSQL databases like MongoDB or DynamoDB.
Ability to write SQL queries (familiarity with joins, indexing, and basic optimization).
Basic understanding of REST API design and HTTP fundamentals.
Awareness of clean architecture and SOLID principles, with willingness to apply them in practice.
Basic Linux knowledge — common commands, installing packages such as MySQL, Java, and Node.js.
Basic OS and application troubleshooting skills.
Familiarity with Git and standard branching workflows.
Experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate development and support efficient coding practices is a must.
Eagerness to learn, take ownership of your work, and grow into building large-scale, high-availability systems.
Good to Have (Or Things You'll Get to Learn Here)
These aren't required, but exposure to any of them is a plus — and if you don't have them yet, you'll have the opportunity to learn them on the job:
Exposure to building backend services that handle data at scale.
Understanding of microservices architecture and inter-service communication.
Experience with WebSockets or real-time communication patterns.
Basic knowledge of AWS and Docker containerization.
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
Exposure to on-premise infrastructure, including State Data Centres (SDCs), NIC, or other government data centres.
Awareness of virtualization platforms (VMware, KVM, Hyper-V, Nutanix) or container orchestration (Kubernetes).
Exposure to monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Zabbix, Nagios).
Knowledge of front-end frameworks like ReactJS.
Familiarity with Python.
