Mandatory ( Pedigree) - B.TECH / M.TECH from Tier 1 Colleges (IIT's, NIT's, BITS) are Considered.

Location: Hyderabad, India (home base), deployed at client sites in India. Occasional Middle East exposure possible.

About the Role

You will work as a senior AI engineer who embeds inside a customer's business. Your job is to learn how the business makes money, find the highest value problem, and build a working system that solves it.

Four behaviors define this role:

1. Go where the work happens. You work onsite with the customer, in the room where decisions are made.
2. Show working software early. You build a prototype in days, not a document in weeks.
3. One person owns the outcome. You are the single point of accountability for the result.
4. Stay after go-live. You keep running and improving the system after launch.

You are the single point of accountability. You are not a solo builder. A full KnackLabs engineering team in Hyderabad builds and runs the production systems behind you.

This role involves extended onsite deployments at client locations in other cities, sometimes up to six months at a stretch. Please apply only if you are ready for this way of working.

What you'll own

1. Discovery - Learn how the customer makes money. Find the highest value problem to solve first.
2. The prototype - Build a working prototype fast, using real or sample data, to prove the idea.
3. The roadmap - Decide what to build, in what order, and set clear success measures tied to business outcomes.
4. The build - Design and ship the production system with the Hyderabad engineering team. This includes data integration, agents, retrieval, and evaluations.
5. The client relationship - Be the trusted technical contact for the customer, from engineers to senior leaders.
6. Go live and after - Deploy the system, watch how it performs, fix problems, and improve it over time.
7. Feedback to the product - Share what you learn in the field so the vendor's product and our internal tools get better.

What we are looking for

1. Around 4 or more years of software engineering experience, including customer-facing or client delivery work.
2. Strong programming skills in Python. Working knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript.
3. A full-stack development experience with strength in backend technologies.
4. Production experience with large language models, including prompt engineering and agent development.
5. You build with AI coding tools like Claude Code or Codex as your default way of working, and you have shipped real apps or agents this way.
6. Experience building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems: chunking, embeddings, vector databases, retrieval, and reranking.
7. Experience building and deploying AI systems.
8. Experience integrating with APIs and enterprise systems.
9. Experience with at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
10. Clear communication. You can explain a technical choice to an engineer and to a business leader.
11. High ownership and comfort with ambiguity. You can take an unclear problem and turn it into a plan.
12. Willingness to work onsite at client locations in India for extended periods, and to travel as the work needs.

Nice to have

1. Experience with on-premises or private cloud (VPC) deployments.
2. Experience with observability and tracing tools such as LangSmith or Braintrust.
3. Experience with data engineering and pipelines.
4. A history of side projects, open source contributions, or products you shipped end-to-end.
5. Experience in embedded or forward-deployed roles before.
6. Experience working at a consulting or professional services firm in a client-facing delivery role.

Stack and tools

1. Languages: Python and TypeScript.
2. Models: Claude and other frontier or open-source models, chosen to fit the customer.
3. AI patterns: RAG, agents, prompt engineering, and evaluations.
4. Vector and retrieval: vector databases and retrieval pipelines.
5. Cloud: AWS, Azure, or GCP, on public or private cloud.
6. Integration: REST APIs and enterprise system connectors.

The Role

You own AI systems end to end. From the speech-to-text models that turn audio into text, to the diarization that separates and identifies speakers, to the agentic layer that turns conversation into memory and action, to the observability and evaluation that keep all of it honest in production. This is a wide role by design. You will own model selection, serving, and production reliability. If you want to tune one model and ignore the system around it, this is not the role.

What You Will Own

•     Speech-to-text. Evaluate, integrate, and optimize STT models across cloud and self-hosted. Drive accuracy and cost trade-offs with ground-truth metrics.

•     Speaker diarization and identification. Push accuracy on hard, real-world, multi-speaker audio.

•     Agentic AI. Build the memory and retrieval pipeline, LLM orchestration, and the agent workflows that sit on top of captured conversation.

•     Model serving and infrastructure. Stand up and optimize self-hosted serving (vLLM, Triton class). Own latency, throughput, and cost per user.

Observability

An always-on wearable means models run in production every second, on messy real-world audio. You own the visibility into that.

•     Instrument the full audio-to-memory pipeline: STT, diarization, retrieval, and LLM calls.

•     Define and track model-quality SLOs in production: transcription drift, diarization error over time, retrieval relevance, latency, throughput, and cost per user.

•     Build dashboards and alerting so model degradation is caught before users feel it.

•     Trace failures across a distributed, always-on system using metrics, logs, and traces.

•     Close the loop. Production signals feed back into evaluation and model selection.

Evaluation

We do not ship what we cannot measure. You own the systems that prove a model is actually better, not just newer.

•     Build and own ground-truth evaluation harnesses for every model in the stack.

•     Measure with real metrics: WER for transcription, DER for diarization, Recall and F1 for retrieval and speaker identification.

•     Build and maintain labeled benchmark datasets that reflect real, messy, multi-speaker audio.

•     Run regression and A/B evaluations on every model swap, prompt change, or pipeline update. Nothing ships on a vibe.

•     Reject anecdotal proxies, single confidence scores, and cherry-picked examples as evidence of quality.

What We Are Looking For

•     3 to 5 years as an AI/ML engineer with production systems behind you. Engineering and production experience is non-negotiable.

•     Depth across the modern AI stack: LLMs, speech models, vector retrieval, model serving.

•     Strong software engineering. You write code that ships and survives contact with real users.

•     Fluency in Python and the production ML ecosystem.

•     Comfort with cloud infrastructure (GCP a plus) and containerized deployment on Kubernetes.

•     A working command of observability and evaluation. You measure first and trust metrics over intuition.

•     First-principles reasoning and metric discipline.

Nice to Have

•     Research background or publications. A strong signal, not a substitute for production work.

•     Audio and speech ML experience (STT, diarization, voice).

•     Experience self-hosting and optimizing open models.

•     Experience with LLM gateway and agent orchestration patterns.

•     Experience building eval harnesses or production model-monitoring systems.

Requirements

Agentic work is must. Audio is good to have

. Self hosting models is a must

 Experience with LLM gateway and agent orchestration is a must have

About the role

We are seeking an AI Engineer to build and implement AI systems for content production at scale.

• Deploy and serve open-source models set up inference endpoints, manage GPU compute, and optimize for latency and cost
• Write evals compare outputs against references, quantify quality, and feed results back into the pipeline
• Work on data pipelines: structured extraction from messy source text, localization, similarity/dedup
• Debug and maintain pipeline stages in production

• A feel for content and narrative you can judge whether generated output is actually good, not just valid
• Curiosity and clear communication you ask good questions and don't stay stuck silently

• Exposure to agent/orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI)
• Familiarity with vector databases, embeddings, or RAG (Qdrant, pgvector)
• Hands-on work with open-source generative media models Flux, LTX, Wan, or similar
