About Us & The Role

At Truxt.ai, we're not just another startup—we're solving large enterprises' biggest data paradoxes and pioneering the world's first fully autonomous software operations. As an early-stage company driven by a meaningful mission, we seek exceptional engineering talent who values purpose, long-term impact, and significant equity ownership over traditional salary compensation.

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. You won't just be implementing models—you'll have the freedom to research, experiment, and deploy cutting-edge ML solutions while building substantial ownership in our company's future.

  • Zero Bureaucracy : No VP approvals or innovation theater—just you, meaningful problems, and the freedom to solve them.
  • 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.

  • ML Veteran : 5+ years building and deploying production ML systems at scale
  • Deep Learning Specialist : Hands-on experience with transformer architectures, LLMs, and generative AI
  • MLOps Mastery : Expert in ML pipeline orchestration, model monitoring, and A / B testing frameworks
