Role you're checking
AI Engineer
Technology
AI Engineers build production systems on top of large language models — RAG search, agents, fine-tuned models, prompt-orchestration pipelines, and the evals and guardrails that keep them reliable. The work sits between traditional software engineering and applied ML: you write Python services, design retrieval pipelines (vector search, BM25, rerankers), pick or fine-tune the right base model, write evals that quantify quality, and ship features against latency and cost SLOs. In India through 2026, the role is one of the fastest-growing technical hires — concentrated at fintechs (Razorpay, Cred, Paytm), SaaS companies (Freshworks, Zoho, Postman, Atlan, Hasura), AI-native startups (Sarvam AI, Krutrim, Ola Krutrim, Yellow.ai), and the GCCs of Microsoft, Google, Adobe, and Salesforce — and pays a clear premium over generalist backend roles.
