Senior AI Developer

Founding AI Engineer (Senior)

About the Role

We’re a stealth AI startup in Ahmedabad. As Founding AI Engineer, you will design and ship LLM-powered agents and RAG pipelines with rigorous evals, safety, and reliability, then shape the platform architecture across BE / FE and help hire the AI team.

Read this first : This is a startup role. In intense weeks, expect 10–12 hours / day. You’ll be a founding team member and will be rewarded for early contribution (performance bonuses).

What You’ll Do :

• Design & implement LLM agents and RAG pipelines with measurable quality.
• Own MLOps : datasets, eval harnesses (quality / latency / cost), prompt governance.
• Productionize inference paths with guardrails, fallbacks, observability, and cost controls.
• Partner with Product on problem → spec → ship; run experiments and measure ROI.
• Influence system architecture across backend / frontend; set engineering standards.
• Create internal tooling for offline / online evals, red / blue tests, and A / B experiments.

What You’ll Bring :

Tech / Stack

Python, PyTorch, FastAPI, OpenAI / Anthropic + local models, LangChain / LlamaIndex, Vector DB (pgvector / Milvus / FAISS), Postgres, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, Observability (Grafana / Prometheus, OpenTelemetry), CI / CD, feature flags.
