• As a Software Development Engineer, you will build and maintain backend services that bring machine learning and AI capabilities to industrial environments, working across Python and C#/.NET to develop reliable, well-tested software that runs at the edge. You will translate architectural decisions into working software, contributing to a product where your code directly shapes how ML models, RAG pipelines, and agentic AI features are deployed and operated in the field.
• You will report to the Engineering Manager and work within a software engineering team alongside data scientists, QA and DevOps engineers. You will also collaborate across a broader global product organisation that includes system architects, IoT software specialists, and hardware teams spread across multiple geographies and time zones. This is a hybrid role and will be expected to be in office 3 days a week, working from the Rockwell Automation office in Electronic City, Bangalore, India.

Your Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain backend services and APIs in Python and C#/.NET, ensuring they are robust, well-tested, and straightforward to operate in production.
• Translate architectural decisions and design records into clean, maintainable implementations, working from defined patterns and contributing to their evolution.
• Build integrations between software components and third-party platforms, deploying and supporting software on Windows and Linux environments including constrained edge deployments without internet access.
• Use AI-assisted development tools as part of your everyday workflow, and take ownership of your work end to end, writing tests, maintaining documentation, and participating in code reviews and engineering decisions.
• Contribute to the teams web-based management interface, implementing features that make the system observable and easy to operate.
• Build and support AI feature development across the stack, including services that expose ML model outputs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and agentic AI workflows that connect intelligence to real-world industrial systems.

The Essentials - You Will Have:

• 2+ years of experience in a backend-focused role.
• Professional experience developing in Python and C#/.NET.
• Experience building or working with message-based or event-driven systems.

The Preferred - You Might Also Have:

• C++ development experience, particularly on Windows or in embedded environments.
• Experience with container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes.
• Frontend development experience with Angular or a comparable JavaScript framework.
• Hands-on experience with AI or ML feature development, including model deployment, RAG systems, or agentic AI patterns.
• Experience developing or testing software across different processor architectures such as x86 and ARM.
• Exposure to industrial automation, OT, or IoT environments.
