Role Overview

You will be part of NPCI Market Innovation team, working at the intersection of advanced machine learning, deep learning, graph AI, and Generative AI to build next-generation intelligent systems for India digital payments ecosystem.

This role focuses on solving India-scale problems such as fraud detection, mule/AML risk modeling, transaction intelligence, and conversational AI, using both classical ML and cutting-edge AI architectures (LLMs, GNNs, Transformers, Agentic AI systems).

You will design end-to-end AI systems from problem formulation, feature engineering, and model development to GPU-accelerated optimization and production deployment, ensuring low latency, scalability, and robustness.

The role offers a unique chance to work on:
Graph-based fraud detection systems
Agentic AI LLM-powered platforms (RAG, MCP, workflows)
GPU/CUDA optimized AI pipelines
Privacy-preserving and federated AI systems

You will collaborate with top academic institutions (IITs/IISc) and cross-functional teams to push the boundaries of applied AI in financial systems.
