AI/ML Engineer What we absolutely dont want

Read this before you apply. If any of the below is you, please don't.

- A resume that's 90% Python and 10% everything else — we need someone who moves across the stack, not a Python purist
- An instinct to build an NLP model, a custom classifier, or your own AI system from scratch — we're not doing that here
- The belief that “AI engineering” means training models — it doesn't, not in this seat
- A preference for working in isolation on research-y side quests instead of shipping something a real client uses tomorrow
- A habit of wanting to tweak nothing and reinvent everything “the right way” — we don't have time for that, and neither does the business
- Anyone who identifies primarily as an ML researcher rather than a production engineer

We've hired for this role before and gotten flooded with strong Python-only, build-it-from-scratch candidates who were the wrong fit on day one. Telling you this upfront saves both of us a bad three months. Roles & Responsibilities

- Take existing, proven models and APIs and adapt them precisely for Specter's use case — reliably, cheaply, fast
- Apply off-the-shelf intelligence with real engineering discipline — this is production work, not a research project
- Call models through Node, structure prompts, and get consistent, structured output back
- Design for caching of model responses by default, not as an afterthought
- Think about the cost of every API call before writing it,



not after the bill arrives
- Work across the stack (Node + Redis) rather than staying siloed in Python
- Ship features that real enterprise clients use — visible in production within days, not quarters
- Work directly with the founding team, with no layers of management in between Required Skills
- Node + Redis basics — comfortable working inside the stack, not learning it from zero
- Model calling, not model building — prompt structuring and reliable structured output
- Caching awareness and the instinct to design for it
- Cost-optimisation instinct for every API call
- Genuine prompt engineering expertise — reliable, repeatable production outputs, not casual ChatGPT use
- Tooling fluency — function calling, agent frameworks, vector stores
- Working RAG and Python knowledge — enough to be dangerous, not your entire identity Eligibility Criteria
- 1–2 years of skilled experience, having shipped something real
- Comfortable with application over invention — solving a narrow, high-stakes problem with the best existing tools
- Willing to work hands-on in a small, fast-moving founding team environment Work Schedule
- Full-time, in office role — 5 days a week
- Working hours: 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM Tentative Joining Date

2–4 days upon selection The first three months from the date of joining will be a probationary period, following which the role will be confirmed as permanent.
