JOB RESPONSIBILITY

Core Engineering:

• Write and ship production-grade Python (and SQL) that runs reliably against sensitive, high-volume healthcare data.
• Turn models, features, and LLM pipelines from a rough notebook or a senior engineer’s design into scheduled, instrumented production services – and own them once they are live.
• Build and maintain data, model, and application pipelines with the logging, monitoring, and reproducibility that keep them trustworthy in production.
• Build the evaluation that lets the team trust a change before it ships – the eval set, the metrics, the honest before-and-after – offline, and online where the stakes justify it.
• Reproduce, triage, and fix issues in live systems, then add the tests or monitoring that stop them recurring.
• Keep an eye on the cost, latency, and reliability of the models and services you run — production ML and AI carry a real operational bill.

Depending on the focus area, the responsibility will also entail:

• Machine Learning & Modeling — build, evaluate, and productionize models end to end: feature engineering, training, and rigorous offline and online evaluation with drift and fairness monitoring.
• AI / GenAI Engineering — build RAG and agentic pipelines, with the prompt and context engineering, evaluation, and observability that keep them reliable where wrong answers have real consequences.
• ML Platform & MLOps — build feature stores, model deployment and serving, CI/CD for ML, and pipeline orchestration; own the tooling other engineers build on.

This role may require flexibility across shifts and locations based on business needs

QUALIFICATION

• Minimum Education: B.E./B.Tech in Computer Science, Information Technology or related disciplines.
• Candidates should be from IITs, NITs, or other premier engineering institutes only.
• All semesters should be cleared with an aggregate CGPA of 8.0 and above.

EXPERIENCE

• 0 – 1 years of experience.

SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES

Foundation:

• Genuine proficiency in Python, with solid command of data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving - and code you would be willing to show us: organized into functions and modules, version-controlled, with tests, not only notebook cells.
• Comfortable across the full development loop: reading an unfamiliar codebase, writing tests, and shipping changes through review and CI.
• Fluency with SQL and working with real, messy data at some scale.

Demonstrated through projects, internships, research, competitions (Kaggle), or open source:

• At least one ML or AI system you have built that ran outside a notebook — a deployed model, a data or feature pipeline, a working RAG or agent prototype — that you can walk through, including the trade-offs you made and what you would change.
• An understanding that a good offline metric is not a working system: awareness of data leakage, distribution shift, and how you would measure success in production.
• Depth in at least one focus area: Applied ML and evaluation; MLOps and cloud/deployment tooling; or LLMs, RAG, and agentic frameworks.

Bonus — any of this help you stand out:

• Exposure to a major cloud (AWS / GCP / Azure) and containerized deployment.
• Hands-on with orchestration, feature stores, or experiment tracking (Airflow / Kubeflow, Feast, MLflow).
• Practical RAG or agentic work, and familiarity with LLM evaluation, guardrails, and tracing / observability.
• Any exposure to healthcare, insurance, or another regulated, data-sensitive domain.
