This is a Chatbot Developer opening based in Connaught Place, Delhi, with full-time, on-site work. The role sits inside a software development team building conversational products, and it pays INR 73,000 a month, which is competitive for a three-year-experience developer role in central Delhi right now.
The work
- Building new conversational flows and features based on product requirements, from intent design through to a working deployed flow
- Debugging issues in how the bot interprets user input, including cases where an intent gets misclassified or a conversation loop breaks halfway through
- Integrating third-party APIs so the bot can pull real data, whether that's an order status lookup or a CRM record, rather than giving a canned response
- Documenting conversation flows and integration logic clearly enough that another engineer can pick up the work without a walkthrough
- Reviewing teammates' code for bot logic, edge-case handling, and API usage before it ships
Last month, for instance, a fix that looked simple on paper (a bot was routing refund questions into the general support flow instead of the refund flow) turned out to require reworking how two intents overlapped in the training data. That's fairly typical of the debugging here: the surface symptom is easy to spot, but the actual cause usually lives one layer deeper in how the NLP model was trained or how the flow logic branches.
What you'll need
The team wants candidates coming in with an undergraduate degree in computing, IT, or something close enough to it, treated as the floor rather than the ceiling for this hire. Beyond that, we expect three years of hands-on development experience, ideally with at least some of that time spent on conversational or NLP-driven products rather than general backend work.
On the technical side, the must-haves are:
- Working experience with a conversational AI platform such as Dialogflow, Rasa, or a comparable framework
- A solid grasp of NLP fundamentals, including intent recognition and entity extraction, even without deep machine learning research experience
- Strong Python skills, since most of the bot logic and integration code here runs on it
- Practical experience wiring up REST APIs, both consuming external services and exposing endpoints for the bot to call
Good to have
Exposure to a cloud platform like AWS or GCP is useful, particularly for anyone who's deployed a bot service rather than just built one locally. Some familiarity with vector databases or retrieval-augmented generation setups is a genuine plus given where conversational AI tooling is heading, though it won't disqualify a candidate who hasn't worked with them yet. Experience with a version control workflow beyond the basics, including managing feature branches across a team, also helps during the code review side of the role.
Pay and benefits
The monthly salary is INR 73,000. Alongside that, the role includes health insurance, paid time off, and provident fund contributions, which line up with what's standard for full-time software development roles in this market. Since the position is on-site, employees also get access to the office cafeteria and either a cab facility or a commute allowance depending on where they're traveling from.
Where this sits, and where it can go
Naukri Mitra is running this search for a Delhi-based product team that's grown its conversational AI work from a single pilot bot into several live deployments over the past couple of years. Connaught Place puts the office in one of Delhi's more central, well-connected parts, which matters for anyone commuting from across the city rather than a single suburb.
People who come into a chatbot developer role at this level often move toward owning a specific product line's conversational layer within a year or two, sometimes picking up light people-management along the way if the team scales. That's not a fixed track, and it depends on how the broader product roadmap develops, but it's the realistic direction for someone who does well here.
Applying
A short write-up or portfolio note on a bot flow someone has built, even a personal project, often says more than a resume line listing "Dialogflow" as a skill. Candidates already working in NLP or conversational AI roles in Delhi are a natural fit, and so are backend developers with strong Python skills looking to move specifically into this space. We review applications on a rolling basis, with interviews starting the same week for candidates already based in Delhi.
