About the Role

We’re building a next-gen, AI-first matrimonial platform designed for modern India—blending behavioural intelligence, cultural nuance, high empathy systems, and deep personalization.

Tech Lead with strong AI/ML instincts

zero-to-one leadership role

Key Responsibilities

1. Architecture & Technology Leadership

• Own the full technical architecture for the platform—backend, ML pipelines, recommendation systems, and safety layers.

• Build scalable, modular systems that support millions of profiles, interactions, and behavioural signals.

• Lead decisions on cloud infra, data storage, AI model hosting, vector DBs, and real-time processing.

2. AI/ML Systems Development

• Design and build recommendation algorithms, compatibility scoring engines, ranking models, and natural-language-based analysis.

• Develop models for:

o Behaviour prediction

o Profile authenticity scoring

o Toxicity / fraud detection

o Conversation starters & profile generation

• Own MLOps: feature stores, CI/CD for ML, versioning, evaluation, monitoring.

3. Data Strategy & Intelligence Layer

• Define data schema, tracking frameworks, and micro-signals required for personalization.

• Build pipelines to transform raw behavioural data into actionable intelligence.

• Implement feedback loops for continuous model improvement.

4. Product Engineering Leadership

• Translate the 12-month AI roadmap into quarterly engineering plans.

• Work closely with Product, Design & Founders to prioritize features.

• Build and lead a high-performing engineering team—full stack, ML engineers, data engineers.

5. Security, Privacy & Safety

• Implement strong verification systems, anomaly detection, safety checks, and data governance.

• Ensure full compliance with Indian data protection norms and platform safety expectations.

• Build trustworthy AI that is transparent, fair, and explainable.

6. Execution & Delivery

• Drive sprints, releases, documentation, and system performance optimization.

• Maintain a builder culture: rapid iteration + high code quality.

• Own platform uptime, scalability, and reliability.

What You’ll Build (Examples from Roadmap)

• AI Profile Makeover Assistant (bio rewriting, video guidance)

• Compatibility Constellations engine

• Behavioural prediction-based matchmaking

• Parent-friendly Family Mode intelligence

• AI Safety Guardian (fraud, harassment, anomaly detection)

• Video-based sentiment & communication analysis

• Hyper-personalized filters

• Voice-based intent matching

• Post-match wedding journey AI companion

You’ll be shaping the entire AI “nervous system” of the platform.
