AI Engineer at Kuku FM · Mumbai · 1 - 3 years · ₹15L - ₹24L / yr · Raised funding · Posted 22 Sep 2026

About the role
We are seeking an AI Engineer to build and implement AI systems for content production at scale. You'll work at the intersection of engineering and content designing prompt pipelines, integrating generative models, and building the tooling that turns source material into finished creative output. The ideal candidate is technically strong but also has taste: someone who understands story and craft, and can tell the difference between output that's technically correct and output that's actually good.
Responsibilities
- Build and iterate on prompt pipelines and multi-agent workflow components
- Design and integrate agentic workflows orchestrate multi-step, tool-using agents that plan, call models, and hand off between stages in production
- 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
What you bring:
- (1+/3+) years of engineering experience, or a strong portfolio of shipped projects
- Solid Python fundamentals clean, working, readable code
- Hands-on experience with LLM APIs and prompt engineering (personal projects count)
- Comfort with Git, REST APIs, and working in a Linux environment
- 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
Preferred
- 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
- Experience deploying open-source models for inference (vLLM, ComfyUI, Replicate/Cog, Docker + GPU)
- Experience writing evals or LLM-as-judge scoring
- Node.js and Fastapi familiarity, or experience deploying on AWS

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.
