We are building AI systems that understand mortgage files, reason across multiple sources of information, identify risks and exceptions, support underwriting and quality control decisions, and continuously improve through expert feedback and rigorous evaluation.
As we expand our AI capabilities, we are looking for a Director, AI Engineering to define and drive the research direction behind our next generation of intelligent systems.
About the Role
This is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who enjoys solving difficult AI problems and turning research into production impact.
You will lead the research agenda across large language models, reasoning systems, agentic AI, multimodal learning, and intelligent decision support while working closely with engineering, product, and mortgage domain experts. You will prototype new ideas, validate them through rigorous experimentation, and help productionize solutions that directly improve customer outcomes.
This role is ideal for someone with deep research expertise who enjoys building real-world AI systems rather than research for its own sake.
What You'll Do
- Define and execute the Applied AI research roadmap aligned with company and product goals.
- Design novel approaches for document understanding, reasoning, planning, retrieval, and decision support.
- Build agentic AI systems capable of orchestrating tools, workflows, and domain knowledge to solve complex mortgage use cases.

What We're Looking For
- PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a related discipline; or an engineering degree in Computer Science or related disciplines from a premier engineering institution (e.g., IITs, IISc, NITs, BITS Pilani, or top-tier global universities).
- 3–8 years of professional experience in Applied AI, Machine Learning, or AI Research, with experience building production-grade AI systems
- Strong expertise in modern AI, including Large Language Models, transformers, agentic AI, reasoning systems, retrieval, multimodal learning, or adjacent areas.
- Strong software engineering skills with Python and modern machine learning frameworks.
- Experience designing and implementing production-grade AI systems that solve complex real-world problems.
- Strong understanding of model evaluation, benchmarking, experimentation, and AI system reliability.
- Experience balancing research innovation with engineering pragmatism and product delivery.
- Excellent problem-solving and communication skills with the ability to collaborate across engineering, product, and business teams.
Why Join Logikality?
At Logikality, you'll work on problems that require genuine reasoning, not just text generation. You'll help build AI systems that understand complex documents, synthesise information across workflows, explain decisions, identify exceptions, and improve through continuous learning and expert feedback.
This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI research and real-world impact, where your ideas won't remain as papers or prototypes; they'll power intelligent systems used every day by mortgage professionals. We are looking for someone who can connect AI, platform engineering, product thinking and customer outcomes.
For the right person, this could develop into a CTO and co-founder track over the next 6–9 months, based on contribution, technical leadership and mutual fit.

Experience: 8–12 years
Location: Hyderabad (Hybrid)
Role Summary:
We P99Soft are looking for a senior AI Architect to own system-level design and architecture decisions across a portfolio of production AI initiatives. This role goes beyond assembling common frameworks - it requires the judgment to evaluate deep architectural trade-offs (model quality vs. size vs. cost, deterministic vs. generative approaches, and verification/testing strategy) and translate them into coherent, maintainable system architecture at scale.
Key Responsibilities:
- Define end-to-end system architecture and technical direction for AI-driven platforms, spanning retrieval-augmented generation, agentic/tool-using systems, vision and language model applications, and semantic search.
- Evaluate and own core architectural trade-offs: model quality vs. size vs. cost, deterministic vs. generative system design, latency and scalability, and the design of output-verification and evaluation harnesses.
- Provide technical leadership and design review across multiple concurrent initiatives, guiding implementation teams on build-out.
- Track and apply emerging AI/ML research and techniques where they meaningfully improve system design and reliability.
- Define the boundary between deterministic, verifiable system components and generative/agentic components based on the problem being solved.
- Serve as the technical escalation point for complex system-level issues — reliability, performance, or output-quality problems beyond routine debugging.
Required Experience & Skills:
- 8–12 years of overall engineering experience, including substantial hands-on depth in applied or foundational AI/ML system design - this is a non-negotiable baseline, not familiarity with AI tools as an end user.
- Demonstrated experience architecting AI/ML systems at production scale, beyond simple retrieval or prompt-based implementations.
- Strong grasp of trade-offs across model quality, size, cost, latency, and determinism, and how these decisions shape system architecture.
- Working knowledge of current and emerging generative AI / LLM techniques and research directions, and the ability to evaluate when they are appropriate to apply.
- Experience architecting one or more of: retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, agentic/tool-using systems, vision models, semantic search, or automated verification and evaluation systems.
- Comfort operating across multiple concurrent initiatives and translating research-adjacent concepts into buildable, production-grade systems.
Nice to Have:
- Experience in domains with strong internal-tooling or quality/verification requirements.
- Exposure to developer-facing tooling or code-analysis systems.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
- Comprehensive health insurance.
- Paid time off and flexible working hours.
