L4/L5 (Lead / Senior-Lead)
Delhi, Full-time
51.50 - 77.15
Role Overview
hands-on AI/ML Lead Engineer
own the full ML lifecycle
You’ll guide a small team of engineers, collaborate with product and design, and turn ideas into working AI features that reach users quickly and reliably.
This is a startup environment: you’ll move fast, make pragmatic trade-offs, and ship continuously.
What You’ll Do
Lead design and development of core AI features
- from data ingestion to real-time inference for production products.- Architect
ML systems and services
that are scalable, cost-efficient, and observable. Mentor and guide
Team of engineers (AI + SWE) in technical design, model evaluation, and best practices.- Build
LLM, CV, or multimodal pipelines
(fine-tuning, adapters, retrieval, evaluation) depending on product needs. - Define
model evaluation frameworks
(offline metrics + live A/B + user feedback loops). - Collaborate with
Software, Data, and Product teams
to design features powered by ML. - Deploy and monitor models using
containerized microservices (ECS/K8s),
ensure low-latency inference and reproducibility. - Own
incident response and postmortems
for AI systems, improve reliability and reduce MTTR. Optimize training/inference cost
(batching, quantization, mixed precision, GPU scheduling).- Leadership on architecture decisions, research and scaling strategy.
Technical Qualifications
- 5–9+ years in applied ML/AI roles, with at least 2 years leading or mentoring engineers.
- Expert in
Python
, strong in at least one deep-learning framework (PyTorch/TensorFlow
). - Experience with
end-to-end ML pipelines
(data prep, training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring). - Proven success shipping ML-powered products not just models to real users.
- Hands-on with
MLOps
tooling (MLflow, Weights & Biases, DVC, Airflow, Prefect, etc.). - Knowledge of
containerized deployments
(Docker, ECS, K8s) and CI/CD for ML. - Strong fundamentals in
statistics, experimentation
, and interpreting real-world feedback. - Experience optimizing
GPU inference
(ONNX, TensorRT, mixed precision, batching). - Familiar with
vector databases
, RAG pipelines
, and LLM fine-tuning/adapters (LoRA/QLoRA)
. - Exposure to
observability stacks
(Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry) and production logging/metrics. - Clear, concise technical communication you can explain trade-offs and align teams fast.
Nice to Have
- Experience working in a
startup or early-stage product
environment. - Familiarity with
data privacy, compliance
, and security best practices in AI systems. - Interest in shaping
AI architecture for
a growing product org. - Strong sense of
design-for-users
: shipping smaller, usable ML features fast and iterating.
