Software Development Engineer 2 (SDE 2)

About us:

ConveGenius is an AI-native education infrastructure company transforming how governments,

enterprises, and social institutions deliver learning and governance outcomes at population scale.

Operating across B2G and B2B segments, the company partners with state governments, CSR funders,

philanthropies, and social enterprises to build intelligent education ecosystems that are both impactful

and commercially sustainable.

At its core, ConveGenius runs two synergistic business lines:

• SwiftAI - the intelligence and automation layer that powers citizen engagement, governance

efficiency, and real-time decision-making for governments and institutions.

• SwiftSchool - the learning infrastructure layer that integrates adaptive learning, digital

classrooms, and analytics to drive measurable student and system outcomes.

This dual-engine model enables ConveGenius to serve as the technology backbone for education

reform - connecting classrooms, communities, and command centres through a unified AI-powered

framework. Unlike traditional edtech companies that deliver content, ConveGenius builds infrastructure

- platforms that integrate deeply into public delivery systems while enabling private and philanthropic

partners to scale their missions with measurable results.

With operations across 22+ Indian states and partnerships with multilaterals, CSR alliances, and

government departments, ConveGenius has established itself as a partner-friendly enterprise trusted for

aligning policy priorities with social and financial returns. Supported by institutional investors and guided

by a double bottom line philosophy, the company consistently delivers impact at scale and profitability

with purpose.

As ConveGenius enters its next phase of growth, it is shaping the future of AI-led public education

infrastructure - where technology, partnerships, and governance intelligence converge to redefine how

nations learn and thrive.
