To be successful as an Applied AI Scientist, we would expect that you have:

Required Qualifications:
- Any educational background from IIT will be preferred.
- Proven track record of working in AI, specifically in domains such as research, scientific publications and finance
- 5+ years of experience with Python as a programming and scripting language
- 3+ years of experience with Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI
- Working knowledge and strong understanding of transformers, reasoning-focused model architectures, and inference-time compute strategies such as ReAct, chain-of-thought, tree-of-thought, self-consistency, Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) for reasoning
- Hands on experience with LLM fine-tuning, including reinforcement learning-based methods and preference alignment techniques (such as DPO, PPO, GRPO) and parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods (LoRA, QLoRA, adapters)
- Proven experience building and deploying agentic AI harnesses with multi-step reasoning, intent/model routing, tool-use, function calling, memory, etc.




- Proven experience taking use cases from ideation to production in the AI space at scale (Enterprise AIOps experience)
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, as the person will shape the future interacting with the business and technology

Desirable skillsets that would make you awesome:
- Model Training: Experience with PyTorch and Compilers, as we aspire to build current inhouse models, including distributed training, and familiarity with HuggingFace transformers, TRL and PEFT libraries
- Advanced Training Paradigms: Experience designing and evaluating reinforcement learning-based fine-tuning pipelines for language models, including reward modelling, policy optimisation, and offline/online evaluation in complex domains such as finance
- Agentic AI and Orchestration: Experience with MCP, A2A and tool-use protocols, and orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, ADK, or similar
- Inference
