Location: Hyderabad, India. Based at the KnackLabs headquarters, with occasional travel to client locations for workshops and reviews. This role does not involve extended onsite deployments.

About the Role

You will work as an AI Architect who designs the systems behind our client engagements: AI agents, RAG systems, automation platforms, and the conventional backend systems around them.

This is a hands-on design role, not a slideware role. You will scope architectures with clients, make the hard technical decisions, defend them in review, and stay accountable for how the systems perform in production.

You will work directly with clients. Everyone at KnackLabs does. You will sit in design discussions with client engineering teams, present architecture decisions to technical and business stakeholders, and answer for the choices you make.

A full KnackLabs engineering team in Hyderabad builds with you. You own the technical design and the quality of what ships.

What you'll own

1. Architecture - Design AI agents, RAG systems, integrations, and the scalable backend systems around them, for multiple client engagements.
2. Technical scoping - Work directly with clients to turn a business problem into a system design, with clear trade-offs and clear reasons.
3. Scale and reliability - Make sure what we build handles real load: data stores, queues, caching, horizontal scaling, and fault tolerance.
4. Design reviews - Review designs and builds across engagements. Set the technical bar and hold it.
5. Evaluation strategy - Define how we measure accuracy, safety, latency, and cost for the AI systems we ship.
6. Guiding engineers - Raise the level of the engineers building with you, through reviews and direct pairing.
7. Feedback to the platform - Feed what you learn across engagements back into our platform and internal tools.

What we are looking for

1. Around 7 or more years of software engineering experience, including direct work with customers on design or delivery.
2. Full-stack development experience with strength in backend technologies.
3. Experience designing and building scalable applications. You understand how large-scale distributed systems work: data partitioning, queues, caching, horizontal scaling, and fault tolerance.
4. At least 2 years of strong, hands-on AI experience with large language models in production.
5. You build with AI coding tools like Claude Code or Codex as your default way of working. You understand Claude Skills, have written skills yourself, use them actively, and have contributed to them.
6. Hands-on experience building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems: chunking, embeddings, vector databases, retrieval, and reranking.
7. Hands-on experience building AI agents.
8. Strong programming skills in Python. Working knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript.
9. Experience with at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
10. Clear communication. You can explain an architecture decision to an engineer and to a business leader, and defend it under questioning.
11. High ownership and comfort with ambiguity. You can take an unclear problem and turn it into a design.

Nice to have

1. Experience building evaluations to measure accuracy, safety, latency, and cost.
2. Experience with observability and tracing tools such as LangSmith or Braintrust.
3. Experience with on-premises or private cloud (VPC) deployments.
4. Experience deploying AI systems in regulated industries such as insurance, banking, or the public sector.
5. Experience with data engineering and pipelines.
6. A history of side projects, open source contributions, or products you shipped end-to-end.
7. 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, skills, 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.

Build AI where the work actually happens.

Celeco works inside real businesses to understand critical workflows, ship production AI systems and stay through adoption.

We are hiring our first Intelligence Architect (Forward-Deployed AI Engineer).

⌁

Full-time · Remote-first · Optional hybrid in Bengaluru

At least one year of professional engineering experience. Customer travel when the work requires it.

The role

An Intelligence Architect enters a customer environment with an unfinished question and leaves behind a working, measurable system.

This is a hands-on engineering role at the boundary of product, operations and customer delivery. You will learn the domain, inspect the existing systems and data, decide what should be built, and write the code that puts it into production.

What you will own

• Interview and shadow the people doing the work, then map the real workflow, including hand-offs, exceptions and workarounds.
• Understand the customer's application stack, APIs, data, identity model, security constraints and deployment environment.
• Turn business goals into a technical scope, system design, delivery plan and measures of success.
• Build across the stack: AI workflows, data pipelines, integrations, backend services and the interfaces people use.
• Choose the simplest reliable approach. The answer may combine agents, retrieval, rules and conventional software.
• Create evals from representative cases, define quality and failure metrics, inspect traces, red-team the system and set launch thresholds.
• Make practical trade-offs across accuracy, latency, cost, privacy, security and speed.
• Take prototypes into production with tests, monitoring, access controls, documentation and a plan for failure and recovery.
• Work beside customer teams during rollout and improve the system until it becomes part of the workflow.
• Turn what works into reusable components, evaluation sets and playbooks for future Celeco deployments.

You will probably thrive here if

• You have at least one year of professional software or product engineering experience.
• You have shipped a real system used by other people and can explain what you owned, what broke and what you changed.
• You are strong in Python or TypeScript and comfortable moving across unfamiliar codebases, APIs, databases and cloud services.
• You have built with language or multimodal models and understand prompting, structured outputs, retrieval, tool use and model failure modes.
• You use Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or similar tools as part of your engineering workflow, while still reviewing, testing and understanding the code you ship.
• You can create an evaluation set, choose useful quality metrics and improve a system through error analysis instead of prompt guesswork.
• You can speak with an operator, an engineering team and a senior leader without losing the thread of the problem.
• You work well with incomplete requirements, write clearly and surface risks early.
• You care about whether people use what you build and whether it changes a business outcome.
• You can commit full-time and travel to customer sites when discovery or rollout is better done in person.

Experience with cloud deployment, containers, CI/CD, observability, enterprise integrations, authentication or security is useful. We do not expect one person to arrive knowing every framework, cloud or industry.

What you will get

• Direct ownership of live customer problems from discovery through production.
• Close collaboration with Celeco's founders and customer leadership teams.
• Exposure to different industries, operating models and technical environments.
• The freedom to choose the technical approach and the responsibility to prove that it works.
• A role in defining Celeco's engineering methods, reusable systems and technical culture while the company is early.
• A remote-first setup, with the option to work together in Bengaluru.

If the work sounds like you but your background is unconventional, apply. We care more about what you have built, how you think and how quickly you learn than pedigree.

Hiring for Junior AI Engineer

Exp : 4 - 6 yrs

Edu : BE/B.Tech/MCA

Work Location : Pune WFO

Skills :

- Min 3 years strong programming experience in Python is a MUST

- Min 2 years hands-on experience in AI with LLMs, RAG pipelines, and AI frameworks

- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP)

About the role

We are building AI systems that read, understand and act on real business documents, bank statements, financial reports, policy documents and forms and putting them into production where accuracy and cost both matters.

This is not a research role and it is not a prompt-writing role. You will own features end to end: pick and deploy open-source models, build the pipelines around them, measure whether they actually work on our documents, drive the cost per document down, and keep the whole thing running in production.

You will work closely with the engineering and product teams, and your work will be directly used by business users from day one.

What you will do

Deploy and evaluate open-source models

• Select, deploy and benchmark open-source LLMs and vision-language models for specific, narrow use cases not general chat.
• Build evaluation sets from real documents and define what "good" means numerically (field-level accuracy, extraction recall, hallucination rate) before shipping.
• Run structured comparisons between models and approaches, and write up the trade-offs so the team can make a decision.
• Apply quantization, batching and other optimizations to fit models into a sensible GPU budget.

Build and optimize AI orchestration

• Design multi-step pipelines that combine deterministic code, ML models and LLM calls and know when not to use an LLM.
• Optimize for latency, cost and reliability: caching, batching, request routing, fallback tiers, retries and graceful degradation.
• Instrument pipelines so failures are visible and traceable rather than silent.

Ship to production

• Package models and services with Docker, expose them behind clean APIs, and deploy them to our GPU and CPU infrastructure.
• Handle the unglamorous production concerns: cold starts, timeouts, concurrency limits, versioning, rollback and monitoring.
• Own on-call-style responsibility for the AI features you build, including cost tracking.

Must-have skills

Programming & engineering

• Strong Python: type hints, async/await, dataclasses/Pydantic, clean module design, testing.
• REST API development with FastAPI (or Flask/Django with a willingness to move to FastAPI).
• Git, code review discipline, and the ability to write code someone else can maintain.
• Comfortable in Linux and on the command line.

Machine learning fundamentals

• Working knowledge of PyTorch and the Hugging Face ecosystem (transformers, tokenizers, accelerate).
• Understanding of inference-time concepts: tokenization, context windows, batching, precision (FP16/BF16/INT8), memory footprint.
• Ability to read a model card and a paper well enough to judge whether a model fits a use case.

Document processing

• Hands-on experience with at least two of: pypdfium2, PyMuPDF, pdfplumber, pdfminer.six, Docling, Unstructured, Surya, DocTR, LayoutLM family.
• Practical OCR experience (Tesseract, PaddleOCR, or a cloud OCR) and an understanding of when OCR is the wrong tool.
• Experience extracting tables from PDFs and dealing with merged cells, multi-line rows, and inconsistent column layouts.

Strongly preferred

You will be a much stronger candidate with any of these. We do not expect all of them.

Model serving & optimization

• vLLM, TGI, Ollama, llama.cpp, or Triton Inference Server.
• Quantization formats and tooling: GGUF, AWQ, GPTQ, bitsandbytes, ONNX Runtime, INT8 export.
• Serverless GPU platforms: Modal, RunPod, Replicate, Baseten including cold-start and container-lifecycle management.
• LoRA / QLoRA fine-tuning with PEFT for narrow, task-specific improvements.

Vision-language models

• Practical use of open VLMs: Qwen2.5-VL, InternVL, Granite Vision, Molmo, Phi-Vision, or similar.
• Awareness of where VLMs hallucinate especially on numeric and financial content and patterns for constraining them (using the model for layout only, sourcing values from the text layer, constrained decoding).

Orchestration & pipelines

• Workflow orchestration: Dagster, Airflow, Prefect, or Temporal.
• Async job patterns: Celery, RQ, or platform-native spawn/poll patterns.
• LLM orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Haystack) with the judgement to know when plain Python is a better answer.
• Structured output enforcement: Instructor, Outlines, XGrammar, JSON schema / tool-use modes.

Evaluation & observability

• Building golden datasets and regression suites for extraction tasks.
• Eval tooling: promptfoo, DeepEval, Ragas, or in-house harnesses.
• LLM tracing and monitoring: Langfuse, Arize Phoenix, LangSmith, OpenTelemetry.

Nice extras

• Rule engines and policy evaluation (Open Policy Agent / Rego, Drools, rule-engine).
• Experience in fintech, lending, insurance or accounting documents.
• Handling of PII and data-security practices in document pipelines.
• Contributions to open-source ML or document-processing projects.

Why join us

• Real production ownership from month one your work goes to actual users, not a demo.
• Genuinely hard technical problems in document AI, not wrappers over an API.
• Small team, short decision cycles, direct access to leadership.
• Budget and freedom to evaluate and adopt new open-source models as they land.

To apply: send your CV along with a short note on one AI system you have taken to production what it did, what the accuracy was, and what broke.
