About

The start of Mentor Together is a story that reaffirms the power of mentorship. As a soon-to-be college graduate in 2007, Arundhuti Gupta had several ideas about how she could make a difference in her city, but needed an initial push and a safe space to explore her abilities. Dr.Rajeev Gowda was a Professor of Economics and Social Sciences at the Indian Institute of Management – Bangalore, striving to create a rich ecosystem in the city for young people to realize their true potentials. After a chance meeting at an educational conference, Dr.Gowda invited Arundhuti to join him in the start-up activities of a youth empowerment organization.From their initial experiences organizing career fairs in 2007, sprang ideas on the importance of trusted support figures for young people, during critical periods in their lives. Parallely, experiencing the power of Dr.Gowda’s own mentorship in her life, Arundhuti realized how empowered she felt helping young people. In 2009, she worked on the blueprint of a youth-mentoring NGO, while finishing her Master’s at the University of Manchester. Arundhuti and Rajeev formally registered Mentor Together as a Public Charitable Trust in November 2009, to pay forward their chance mentorship into a movement to help young people at-risk find caring and committed mentors.

AI Engineer — Vertexcover Labs


Who We Are

Vertexcover Labs is an employee-focused, engineer-run software studio. We partner with fast-growing, funded startups around the world—Rephrase.ai, Dhiwise, Dunzo, Dubdub, Xapo, Arintra etc.—to crack their toughest engineering problems. Everyone is an individual contributor; no management layers. Engineers choose the projects they work on, see each project's P&L, and share directly in the profits.

Whether it's building multi-agent systems for production, scaling ML pipelines across GPU clusters, or shipping RAG-powered products that end-users rely on—we solve hard AI problems for real companies.


A Few Problems We Are Currently Working On

  • AI Agents Test-authoring agents that convert natural language into e2e tests.
  • Ad-performance agents that learn what works for your brand and generate winning creatives automatically.
  • Scale + MLOps Optimise ML pipelines and fix autoscaling by applying queuing theory while juggling CPU / GPU memory contention.
  • RAG & Knowledge Systems Design and deploy retrieval-augmented generation pipelines—chunking strategies, embedding models, reranking, and evaluation loops.
  • AI Video & Image Processing Build rendering pipelines, diffusion-model integrations, and real-time video processing at scale. You'll own at least one project like these—design, build, iterate.


Signals You're Probably the Right Fit

  • Strong in at least one other language (Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript, Java …); happy to learn more.
  • First principle understanding of how LLMs, embeddings, vector databases and AI Agents work
  • Evidence of shipping real AI-powered software—OSS, side projects, or production features.
  • Comfortable navigating the fast-moving AI landscape—papers, new model releases, evolving APIs.
  • Clear written & spoken communication; async collaboration is our default.
  • Self-directed—you ask for context, not permission.


How We Operate

  • Project choice. Engineers vote on which engagements we take.
  • Stack agnostic. We pick tools that fit the job, not the résumé.
  • Pragmatic craftsmanship. Durable design, no gold-plating.
  • Transparent economics. Know what your work is worth, share in the profits.
  • Remote-native. Async by default; sync when it helps.


Hiring Process (Lean & Human)

  1. 2–3 technical deep-dives with future teammates.
  2. 30-minute culture chat.
  3. Offer. No LeetCode marathons, no trick puzzles.


We read every application and reply to all candidates.

PROBLEM SOLVING: Main: People aren’t able to look back, in detail,at different personally cherishable moments in life;moments that contain the essence and emotions of the different experiences in life. This is linked to 2 sub-problems : 1)People don’t have many memories recorded in digital format because they never got a push to capture majority of such happenings 2)A Lot of efforts are required to look for the very few moments captured, in photos and videos because they are scattered randomly and buried deep down in laptop folders or drives. People, who want to look at various moments experienced in life,aren’t able to do so. WHY IS THIS GOOD TIME TO START SLAM8? People are feeling discontented and frustated with social media especially facebook as they waste a lot of time & are just about other people.Encouraging people to save their own life’s simple memories,thoughts & emotions in details can be a more engaging option.We need to focus on the moments that one will want to look back to.This way the output will make people happy.Also the shared content will be far more relatable and useful to people. This combination between social and personal will be a much better companion to people Such product is absent in the market We are looking for an experienced (atleast 2 years) back-end developer who has worked on following: 1)Node.Js 2)MongoDB , graphDB(Neo4j) 3)AWS 4)Java-spring ,apache struts2 5)Micro services architecture 6)caching using reddis or memcached 7)RESTful services He/she should have sufficient knowledge on 1)Micro services 2)API gateway 3)Database maintanance Note: we are looking for co-founders who can join and work along with the existing team of 7 members based on equity.None of us is expecting any salary atleast till next six month(app development period).You can keep your old job while working for this 6 months if you can contribute 36 hours a week on average
