About the team
We are a bunch of passionate researchers, engineers, product managers, data scientists, and designers who came together to build a product that can revolutionize the way any research-intensive projects are done. Reducing cognitive load and helping people to convert information into knowledge, is at the core of our mission. Our engineering team is building a scalable platform that deals with tons of data, AI processing over the data, and interactions of users from across the globe. We believe research plays a key role in making the world a better place, and we want to make it easy to approach and fun to do!
We are looking for a highly motivated AI / Data Science Engineer with 2–5 years of hands-on experience in building and deploying intelligent systems. The ideal candidate should have strong expertise in Large Language Models (LLMs), model serving (including vLLM), and agent-based architectures. This role involves designing scalable AI solutions, optimizing inference pipelines, and building production-grade AI systems.
Key Responsibilities:
Design, develop, and deploy AI/ML models with a focus on Large Language Models (LLMs)
Implement and optimize high-performance model serving solutions (e.g., vLLM, FastAPI, Triton)
Build and maintain agent-based systems (Agentic AI, RAG pipelines, multi-agent workflows)
Develop scalable data pipelines for preprocessing, embedding generation, and retrieval
Work on vector databases (FAISS, ChromaDB, etc.) for similarity search and RAG use cases
Optimize inference latency, throughput, and cost for production deployments
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate AI solutions into products
Monitor, debug, and improve deployed AI systems for reliability and performance
Stay updated with the latest advancements in LLMs, multimodal AI, and agent frameworks
Required Skills & Qualifications
Minimum 1 year of hands-on experience working with Agentic AI systems (multi-agent workflows, autonomous agents, or orchestration frameworks)
2–5 years of experience in AI / Data Science / Machine Learning
Strong proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face)
Hands-on experience with Large Language Models (LLMs) and prompt engineering
Experience with vLLM or similar high-performance inference engines
Practical knowledge of building agent-based systems (LangChain, CrewAI, custom agents, etc.)
Experience with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures
Familiarity with vector databases (FAISS, ChromaDB, Pinecone, etc.)
Strong understanding of REST APIs and backend frameworks (FastAPI preferred)
Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud deployments (AWS/GCP/Azure)
Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and system design
Preferred / Good-to-Have Skills
Experience with multimodal models (LLaVA, image-to-text, OCR pipelines, etc.)
Knowledge of distributed systems and GPU optimization techniques
Experience with streaming inference and real-time AI systems
Familiarity with model quantization, batching, and memory optimization
Exposure to open-source LLM ecosystems (OpenRouter, vLLM, TGI, etc.)
Experience with logging, monitoring, and observability tools
Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines for ML systems (MLOps)
