About the role

A Series-B AI startup is investing heavily in ML infrastructure. You'll be one of the founding ML platform engineers, building the training and inference platform that the entire research team relies on.

Hybrid in Koramangala. High bar, high autonomy, high learning velocity.

What you'll do
  • Design and operate the training platform (Ray on Kubernetes)

  • Own feature store, model registry, and lineage tooling

  • Ship inference infrastructure with hard latency guarantees

  • Partner closely with research on new model architectures

  • Set the internal MLOps standard

What we're looking for
  • 4+ years in ML engineering / MLOps / platform

  • Strong Kubernetes production experience

  • Ray, Kubeflow, or similar distributed-training experience

  • Feature-store patterns (Feast or equivalent)

  • Python fluency, comfort with C++ / Rust for hot paths a plus

Nice to have
  • Contributions to Ray / KubeFlow / MLflow

  • Experience with LLM training or fine-tuning at scale

  • GPU cluster operations

What you get
  • Meaningful equity in a well-funded AI company

  • Direct impact on research productivity

  • Access to substantial GPU compute for internal projects

  • Direct recruiter and hiring-manager access — no black-hole applications

  • Structured, timely feedback after every stage

  • Honest guidance on compensation, notice period, and market

  • Onboarding support in the first 30 days after joining

Structured, timely, and short.
