Background

About Pratyush Thakur

I build systems that handle scale and complexity across backend, frontend, and AI-driven workflows. Currently, I’m a Lead Software Engineer at Eightfold AI, building an Agentic AI Interview Platform that brings the next-gen of AI Interviewers.Our systems power intelligent, multi-step interview experiences that operate under real-world constraints, bringing consistency, scalability, and decision intelligence to hiring. Previously, at Naukri (Info Edge), I worked on high-traffic platforms used by millions. I led initiatives around server-side rendering and performance - improving load times, simplifying architecture, and enabling systems to scale more efficiently. I care deeply about how systems translate into user experience by building clean, performant, and pixel-accurate interfaces, backed by strong product intuition. I enjoy working on- Building end-to-end systems across frontend and backend - Designing backend services and APIs that scale reliably- Solving performance, reliability, and system design challenges - Systems involving real-time or intelligent decision-making I primarily work with Python, React, Next.js, Node.js, Flask and have experience building AI-driven systems using frameworks like LangGraph.
