Role : Distinguished LLM Engineer

Location : Chennai / Tirunelveli / Coimbatore

Type : Fulltime

Salary : Depends on your experience and the current market rate

Do you want to use your AI expertise to drive real-world impact? We’re hiring a Distinguished LLM Engineer to lead some of our most strategic and ambitious AI initiatives. In this highly technical, high-impact role, you’ll architect, build, and scale advanced multi-modal LLM and agentic systems that power innovative applications like storytelling, support automation, donor activation, fraud detection, and more.

This is an opportunity to shape the future of human-AI collaboration by designing scalable infrastructure, context-aware systems, and intelligent agents grounded in responsibility, transparency, and performance .

What You’ll Do

LLM System Design

Own the entire model lifecycle : training, fine-tuning, distillation, quantization, inference, and live serving.
Ensure models behave safely and transparently, using techniques like RLHF, guardrails, and sandboxing.

Model Diversity

Build with a range of foundation models : OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, LLaMA, Titan, Mistral, and open-source variants.

Implement hybrid strategies—API and self-hosted—optimizing for latency, cost, and risk.

Context Engineering

Innovate on Model Context Protocols, prompt chaining, vector stores, and secure data conditioning.

Integrate user history, RAG pipelines, and knowledge graphs with privacy-aware filters.

Agentic Frameworks

Design communication protocols, memory systems, and goal-oriented reasoning agents.

Build adaptive, long-running, multi-agent systems for collaborative AI workflows.

LLM-Powered Experience Design

Develop AI-driven features that support people during high-need moments—campaign writing, customer support, nonprofit engagement, and more.

Full-Stack AI Engineering

Deliver end-to-end AI systems across AWS / GCP, microservices, observability, caching, and CI / CD pipelines.

Reusable AI Assets

Build internal frameworks : evaluation harnesses, agent libraries, contextual adapters, and prompt repositories for scale and reuse.

AI IP Development

Partner with legal and R&D teams to formalize and protect proprietary AI innovations—frameworks, pipelines, and potentially patentable systems.

What You Bring

15+ years in software and ML engineering, with 3+ years building LLM-powered systems.

Expert in transformer models and LLM toolchains (GPT, Gemini, LLaMA, Mistral, PyTorch, Hugging Face, LangChain, LoRA, etc.).

Deep experience with prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG, model ensembling, and agentic architectures.

Full-stack systems fluency across cloud infra, APIs, caching, observability, and GPU orchestration.

Comfort with agent-based systems, contextual memory, and finite-state or goal-oriented planning.

Strong communication and leadership across product, engineering, data science, and executive stakeholders.

Bonus Qualifications

Experience building AI for nonprofits, social impact, or safety-critical applications.

Research, patents, or open-source contributions in generative AI.

Familiarity with MLOps, fairness auditing, privacy-preserving techniques, or model interpretability tools.
