Infosys Limited is hiring a GenAI Developer in Bangalore for its Topaz COE unit. The posting asks for 9 to 15 years of experience, so this is a senior role, not a fresher opening. Before anything else, count how many of your years went into machine learning, NLP or AI work. The posting lists those as primary skills and does not say whether general software years count.
Is the posting live?
Unclear as of October 1, 2026. The posting shows no closing date. Search the Job ID on the Infosys careers page and check that the Apply button still works. Listings can be removed without notice.

The range is wide, since someone with 9 years and someone with 15 would sit at very different levels. The posting does not say which level it is hiring for.
About the role
The duties fall into four groups:
- Building: designing and implementing advanced generative AI models for complex problems, and developing scalable, efficient AI algorithms that improve product offerings.
- Integration: working with cross-functional teams to fit AI solutions into systems that already exist. The posting frames this as adding AI to live systems, not starting from a blank page.
- Research: keeping up with advances in NLP and AI. The posting lists this as a duty, not an optional extra.
- Mentoring: guiding junior team members and sharing knowledge.
The mentoring line is the clearest sign of seniority. You are expected to raise the people around you as well as ship your own work. The posting names no product or client and describes the unit only as Topaz COE, so what you would actually build is worth asking about in the first recruiter call.
Who should apply, and who should skip
A good fit if you:
- are an ML or NLP engineer with 9 or more years, moving into LLM and agent work, and can point to something you shipped;
- are a data scientist who has put models into production inside existing systems, which matches the integration duty;
- are a tech lead who still writes Python and has mentored juniors;
- are a cloud or backend engineer who has added LLM features to real products.
Skip if you:
- have well under 9 years, since the posting’s range starts there;
- have used AI mainly through chat tools or prompt writing, because the duties are design and implementation.
Requirements
Must-have
- Education: BE, BTech, BCA, MCA or MTech
- Experience: 9 to 15 years
- Primary skills: machine learning leading into generative AI, agentic AI, large language models, NLP and artificial intelligence
Nice-to-have
- Machine learning, data analysis, deep learning, Python and cloud computing
- Preferred skill tags: prompt engineering, agent engineering, data science (machine learning) and generative AI (basic)
BCA and MCA are on the list, so computer-application graduates qualify alongside engineers. Python appears only under good-to-have, yet it is the one programming language the posting names, so treat it as expected in practice.
Am I eligible?
- Is my degree on the list above? Yes / No
- Do I have 9 to 15 years of total experience? Yes / No
- Can I describe hands-on LLM, NLP or agent work I have done? Yes / No
- Can I work in Bangalore? Yes / No
If you answered No on years, do not apply yet. If your degree is something else, such as a BSc or MSc, the posting does not say whether equivalents count, so ask a recruiter first. If you lack hands-on GenAI work, build one project before applying (see preparation below).
What the posting does not say
There is no salary range, work mode, employment type, closing date or interview process. We do not quote salary websites. Ask for the pay range early, and confirm whether hybrid or remote work is possible before you resign anywhere or plan a move to Bangalore.
How to apply
- Open the Infosys careers page and search Job ID INFSYS-EXTERNAL-253980.
- Open the listing and click Apply.
- Upload your current resume. The posting lists no other documents.
- Note the Job ID for any follow-up with a recruiter.
Common mistakes
- Applying with fewer than 9 years because the skills match.
- Writing “AI experience” with no detail. Name the LLM, NLP or agent work, what it did and what changed as a result.
- Hiding Python and cloud work because the posting lists them as good-to-have.
- Leaving out mentoring, which the posting lists as a duty.
- Using forwarded links or third-party sites instead of the Infosys careers page.
How to prepare
Work from the posting’s own vocabulary. Refresh the LLM and NLP concepts you have actually used, and be ready to explain one agent you built: which tools it called, where it failed and how you fixed it. The posting lists agent engineering and prompt engineering as preferred skills, so those stories carry weight.
Next, show integration. A small Python project that adds an LLM feature to an existing application, running on a cloud platform, covers the integration duty and two good-to-have skills at once. On your resume, give each project one line: problem, approach, result.
Because research is a listed duty, keep one or two recent NLP or AI advances you have read and tried, and be ready to discuss them. Write down two short examples of mentoring a junior colleague.
Scam warning
Legitimate employers do not ask candidates to pay for registration, training, a laptop, a security deposit or offer-letter processing. Apply only through the Infosys careers page, and be wary of messages from personal email or messaging accounts.
