Founding AI Engineer

We're looking for a minimum of 2+ years experience and currently accepting only India based applicants.

About Us

We are a Stealth GenAI B2B Startup focused on revolutionizing the construction industry using Artificial Intelligence. Our team is composed of visionaries, researchers, and engineers dedicated to pushing the boundaries of AI to develop transformative solutions. Founded by a repeat founder who is an alumnus of IIT Madras who had previously built and exited successfully to a Fortune 1000 company. We are committed to using technology and innovation to disrupt the status quo and create the future.

About the Role 

We’re hiring a Founding AI Engineer to lead the design and implementation of our document intelligence systems. You’ll be responsible for building scalable AI pipelines that extract structure, meaning, and insights from unstructured engineering design documents. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll help execute the document intelligence roadmap and product direction from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities 

• Build and optimize document processing pipelines for unstructured and semi-structured data
• Design and implement intelligent extraction systems using LLMs, OCR, and NLP techniques
• Design and refine pipelines that apply large language models (LLMs) to extract, structure, and validate information from construction documents, and free-text project documents
• Prototype, evaluate, and optimize techniques for information extraction, entity linking, data normalization, and confidence scoring
• Apply RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) and embedding-based search across large document sets
• Work with tools such as LangChain, CrewAI, Hugging Face, PyMuPDF, Tesseract, or Amazon Textract
• Integrate and fine-tune LLMs (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4, Claude, Mistral) for domain-specific understanding
• Set up vector search and memory frameworks (e.g., FAISS, Pinecone) for contextual recall
• Deploy and iterate on systems for prompt tuning, relevance evaluation, and performance tracking across varied document types and project datasets
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to embed document intelligence into core workflows
• Ensure accuracy, scalability, and observability of models in production 
• Bridge the gap between research and production, transforming prototypes into scalable, production-ready AI components

Required Skills & Qualifications 

• 2+ years of experience in AI/ML with a strong focus on Information extraction from pdf documents
• Proven experience working with PDFs, scanned documents, structured and unstructured formats
• Hands-on with LLMs, embeddings, prompt engineering, OCR, and NLP libraries
• Proficient in Python and frameworks such as PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, or LangChain
• Experience building scalable inference pipelines and optimizing LLM performance
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments
• Ability to work independently with attention to detail and take full ownership
• Strong communication and collaboration in agile cross-functional teams
• Passion for delivering high-quality, reliable, and scalable solutions

Beyond Technical Skills – What We’re Looking For

We're building more than just software. We’re building a team that thrives in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment. Here’s what we value deeply beyond strong technical capabilities

Startup Readiness & Ownership

• Bias for action: You’re someone who ships fast, tests quickly, and iterates with purpose.
• Comfort with ambiguity: Ability to make decisions with limited information and adapt as things evolve.
• Ownership mindset: You treat the product as your own - not just a list of tickets to complete.
• Resourcefulness: You know when to hack something together to keep moving, and when it’s time to build it right.

Product Thinking

• User-Centric Approach: You care about the “why” behind what you're building and understand the user’s perspective.
• Collaborative in Shaping Product: You’re comfortable challenging and refining product specs instead of just executing them.
• Strategic Trade-off Awareness: You can navigate choices—speed vs scalability, UX vs tech debt, MVP vs V1—with clarity.

Collaboration & Communication

• Cross-Functional Comfort: You work well with product, design, and founders.
• Clear communicator: You can explain technical concepts in simple terms when needed.
• Feedback culture fit: You give and receive feedback without ego.

Growth Potential

• Fast Learner: Startups change, and so do stacks. Willingness to learn is gold.
• Long-Term Mindset: Lot of opportunity to scale
• Mentorship Readiness: If you can bring others up as the team scales, that’s a win.

Startup Cultural Fit

• Mission-Driven: You care deeply about what you’re building.
• Flexible Work Style: Especially if remote, please be flexible.
• No big-company baggage: No expectations of layered teams or polished specs. We move fast and build together.

Why Join our Startup?

• Shape the Future of construction technology through intelligent automation and smart workflows
• Ownership & Impact: See the results of your work in a fast-paced, high-impact startup environment
• Competitive Package: Market-aligned salary, and performance-based incentives
• Remote Flexibility: Hybrid/remote-friendly culture
• Work with Experts: Collaborate with leaders in AI, construction, and cloud-native development
