AI / ML Engineers L4 / L5

AI / ML Engineer -

L4 / L5 (Lead / Senior-Lead)

Location & Type : Delhi, Full-time

CTC Range (LPA) : 51.50 - 77.15

Role Overview

We’re looking for a hands-on AI / ML Lead Engineer

who can bridge research, product, and engineering.

You’ll

own the full ML lifecycle

• from problem framing and data pipelines to model deployment, evaluation, and scaling in production.

You’ll guide a small team of engineers, collaborate with product and design, and turn ideas into working AI features that reach users quickly and reliably.

This is a startup environment : you’ll move fast, make pragmatic trade-offs, and ship continuously.

What You’ll Do

Lead design and development of core AI features

Architect

ML systems and services

that are scalable, cost-efficient, and observable.

Mentor and guide

Team of engineers (AI + SWE) in technical design, model evaluation, and best practices.

Build

LLM, CV, or multimodal pipelines

(fine-tuning, adapters, retrieval, evaluation) depending on product needs.

Define

model evaluation frameworks

(offline metrics + live A / B + user feedback loops).

Collaborate with

Software, Data, and Product teams

to design features powered by ML.

Deploy and monitor models using

containerized microservices (ECS / K8s),

ensure low-latency inference and reproducibility.

Own

incident response and postmortems

for AI systems, improve reliability and reduce MTTR.

Optimize training / inference cost

(batching, quantization, mixed precision, GPU scheduling).

Leadership on architecture decisions, research and scaling strategy.

Technical Qualifications

5–9+ years in applied ML / AI roles, with at least 2 years leading or mentoring engineers.

Expert in

Python , strong in at least one deep-learning framework ( PyTorch / TensorFlow ).

Experience with

end-to-end ML pipelines

(data prep, training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring).

Proven success shipping ML-powered products not just models to real users.

Hands-on with

MLOps

tooling (MLflow, Weights & Biases, DVC, Airflow, Prefect, etc.).

Knowledge of

containerized deployments

(Docker, ECS, K8s) and CI / CD for ML.

Strong fundamentals in

statistics, experimentation , and interpreting real-world feedback.

Experience optimizing

GPU inference

(ONNX, TensorRT, mixed precision, batching).

Familiar with

vector databases ,

RAG pipelines , and

LLM fine-tuning / adapters (LoRA / QLoRA) .

Exposure to

observability stacks

(Prometheus / Grafana / OpenTelemetry) and production logging / metrics.

Clear, concise technical communication you can explain trade-offs and align teams fast.

Nice to Have

Experience working in a

startup or early-stage product

environment.

Familiarity with

data privacy, compliance , and security best practices in AI systems.

Interest in shaping

AI architecture for

a growing product org.

Strong sense of

design-for-users : shipping smaller, usable ML features fast and iterating.
