Founding Engineer

Shyva · Stealth · Remote (India)

About

Shyva is building the verified trust layer for global trade — an AI-native procurement intelligence platform, in stealth mode.

We're looking for a Founding Engineer who thrives in ambiguity, ships quick, and has a genuine obsession with large-scale data systems. You'll work directly with the founding team to build Shyva's core platform: supplier discovery agents, entity resolution pipelines, semantic search, and the procurement intelligence layer.

This is a 0-to-1 role — broad ownership, direct influence on architecture, and a front-row seat to enterprise AI in global trade.

Must-Have

Applied AI Engineering

● Shipped production AI products end-to-end — concept, architecture, evaluation, deployment, and ongoing ownership

● Built AI systems that operate over both structured and unstructured data: retrieval, extraction, reasoning, or workflow automation

● Designed confidence-aware systems with human-in-the-loop review where the stakes demand it

● Sharp judgment on where LLMs add value (reasoning, extraction)



and where strict deterministic engines must take over (financial calculations, regulatory countdowns, and tariff math)

LLM and Agent Orchestration

● Shipped multi-step agent workflows in production with modern orchestration frameworks

● RAG pipelines with hybrid retrieval and reranking

● Guardrail architecture: post-generation validation, uncertainty flagging, stale-data detection

Search and Retrieval Systems

● Production experience with modern search systems including vector and hybrid retrieval, reranking, and relevance tuning

● Experience with knowledge graphs, entity linking, or multi-hop retrieval

● Strong instincts for retrieval quality, explainability, and trustworthiness

Document Intelligence

● Production experience extracting structured information from messy unstructured documents

● Experience with entity resolution, record linkage, or deduplication across noisy real-world data
