About A4I Lab

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

Imagine infrastructure that doesn’t just run AI — it enables it. At A4I Lab, we’re not spinning up VMs and hoping for the best. We’re engineering the cloud backbone that powers autonomous multi-agent systems serving millions of users in India’s most underserved communities: students learning in vernacular languages, frontline health workers operating without connectivity, farmers acting on real-time data.





Generic DevOps practices don’t work here. The constraints are too real — cost ceilings, data sovereignty, multilingual AI services, and uptime requirements that leave no room for reactive firefighting. What we need is an infrastructure engineer who has already shipped cloud systems that carry production AI workloads, and who treats automation as a discipline, not an afterthought.

This isn’t a role for someone who manages tickets. It’s for someone ready to own the platform, drive infrastructure decisions, and build the foundation that makes A4I’s Digital Public Goods not just functional — but scalable, secure, and sustainable.
