About Creatium
We are building AI that actually teaches.
Creatium transforms static educational content into interactive learning experiences: AI coaches, simulations, and roleplay scenarios for universities, K12, and corporate L&D teams globally. We are early-stage, moving fast, and looking for someone to lead our AI technical direction in India.
Who we are looking for:
This is a leadership role for someone who has not left their technical roots behind. You will own Creatium's AI direction in India, set the engineering standard, and build a world-class AI team from the ground up.
We are not looking for someone who manages AI from a distance. We want someone who is in it: reviewing research, shaping architecture, and shipping things that work elegantly.
Someone assertive, research-minded, and deeply technical. You form strong opinions, back them with data, and you have built software at a company where quality was non-negotiable. You still read papers for fun. You are not managing AI from a distance, you are in it.
You should have:
- Research credentials: first-authored publication(s), MS/PhD from a strong institution, or equivalent depth
- Experience at a company known for elegant, well-architected software (Google, Meta, Adobe, Postman, Flipkart — that tier, not IT services)
- 8+ years in software engineering, 3+ in applied AI/ML leadership
- Hands-on depth: you can still write code, review PRs, and prototype new ideas
- At least 2 years of tenure at a single company, we want builders, not hoppers
- Comfort working across both India and US work cultures
What you will do:
- Own Creatium's AI roadmap and architecture
- Build and lead a small, elite AI engineering team in India
- Translate research into shipped product
- Work directly with founders: no layers, no bureaucracy
Why Creatium:
Early stage with real equity. A technical founding team with high standards. The autonomy to build the team and culture the right way. A mission worth working on.
