As a Founding Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you'll be instrumental in architecting our AI-driven autonomous systems, directly influencing our core ML infrastructure, model deployment strategies, and data engineering decisions.

  • Transparent Leadership : Open, collaborative culture with weekly strategy sessions.
  • Impact-Driven Culture : Your voice directly shapes our product and strategy.
  • Significant Equity Package : Founding-level equity stake that reflects your early-stage commitment and risk.
  • Compensation Structure

  • Base Salary : Rs. 0 (Equity-only position) until we close Funding, Better than market average post Funding.
