AI SENIOR ENGINEER — AGENTIC AI & RAG
AGENTIC AI ENGINEERING · A4I (IIIT-B × Microsoft)

Organization: A4I (IIIT-B × Microsoft)
Location: IIIT Bangalore
Type: Contract (through March 2027, extendable)
Experience: 5 to 8 years. This band is firm (see Qualifications below).
About A4I
AI Innovation and Inclusion Initiative (A4I) is a partnership between Microsoft and IIIT-B, collaborating with non-profit partners to harness AI for solving real-world challenges in education, healthcare, accessibility, and agriculture. A4I evolves innovations into open-source Digital Public Goods (DPGs) that are deployable at scale, fostering a strong AI innovation ecosystem for social impact.
The Opportunity
At A4I, we build multi-agent AI systems that actually go into production, not demos or a chatbot wrapped around an API. Think millions of students learning in their own language, health workers with no reliable connectivity, and farmers who need answers in real time. That's the scale and the constraints we design for.

Generic AI approaches don't hold up here.



We need someone who has actually shipped an agentic system before, someone who writes the code rather than just talking through the architecture in a deck.

This is a senior individual-contributor role. You'll drive the technical decisions on your part of the system, ship code daily, and work closely with a small team of AI engineers, rather than run a practice, manage a team, or set multi-year strategy.

Two things worth knowing before you apply. First, this is a software and AI engineering role built on production Python and agent frameworks, not a UI/UX or product design role. Second, our technical interview covers core computer science fundamentals—data structures, concurrency, database design, algorithmic complexity—alongside AI/LLM knowledge. Solid AI skills alone won't carry you if the underlying engineering isn't solid.
