Role Overview
The Senior AI EM is a new leadership role within Flipkart's AI Solutions Org, established to bridge the gap between AI engineering execution and strategic business impact. You will own the people, process, and technical direction for a team of 8–15 AI Engineers, ML Engineers and Software Development Engineers who build production-grade AI applications at Flipkart scale.
This is not a purely people-management role. You are expected to be technically deep — capable of reviewing system designs, challenging architectural decisions, and guiding your team through the complexities of deploying LLMs, agentic workflows, and ML pipelines in a high-pace, large-scale production setting. At the same time, you will operate as a strategic partner to product, business, and data science leaders, translating ambiguous business problems into well-scoped AI solutions.

What Makes This Role Unique
AI-Native DNA: You will champion and evolve AI-first development practices (Copilot, Cursor, LLM-assisted code review, automated testing) across your organisation.
Full-Stack AI Ownership:



Unlike traditional EM roles scoped to backend or frontend, you own the entire vertical — from database design and API development to RAG pipelines, agentic systems, model serving, and user-facing interfaces.
Business × Technology Bridge: You will be the primary engineering partner for non-tech stakeholders (Finance, HR, Cataloguing, Supply Chain), owning the full SDLC for AI-powered automation across these functions.
Research-to-Production Pipeline: Working closely with Flipkart's Data Science team, you will ensure that research breakthroughs translate into scalable, production-grade systems.
