Career Questions
Send your CV and a short note about why you're a fit to hrindia@octobit8.com with the job title in the subject. For training program enquiries, email contact@octobit8.com with "Training Enquiry" in the subject.
Most AI engineering, RAG, conversational AI, and cloud roles are fully remote within India. Forward deployed engineering roles occasionally require client on-site travel. Business roles are hybrid from Varanasi. Each listing specifies the arrangement.
It varies by role and takes 60–90 minutes. Engineers complete a practical task (a small coding, agent-design, or architecture exercise). Business roles submit a short pipeline or outreach plan. We share the format before you start.
Internships are structured through our training programs to ensure mentorship quality. If you enrol in a program, an internship component is built into the final weeks. Standalone internship applications are not accepted.
We're a focused team, so growth is hands-on and fast. Engineers move from implementation to architecture or from a single service line into forward deployed engineering. Most senior roles are filled internally. Compensation reviews happen annually.
Currently all roles are India-based (remote within India or on-site in Varanasi). We do not offer visa sponsorship at this time. This may change as we grow.
