Job Summary

Conduct applied research in agentic AI and generative models.

Responsibilities

- Fellows publish applied research on agentic AI for government workflows, contribute to Innovation Lab prototypes, and collaborate with engineering squads shipping production features. Expect access to anonymised production datasets under NDA, mentorship from senior architects, and support presenting at conferences or submitting journal papers when results merit publication.

- Fellows present fortnightly progress reviews to Innovation Lab leads and may co-author blog posts or knowledge base guides when research translates to buyer-facing GEO content.

- Life at Toolsbots Innovatix: We are a DPIIT-recognized product engineering company building GovTech, HealthTech, and enterprise AI platforms - BhoomiChain, SecureSign, Doctshub AI, NERTA, and SHAKTI. Engineers work on production systems used by millions of citizens and thousands of officers, not disposable agency websites. Squads practice two-week sprints, weekly demos, staging environments, and documentation discipline suitable for government and regulated clients.

- Benefits and growth: Competitive compensation, flexible hybrid work across Kolkata and distributed India, learning budgets for conferences and certifications, and direct access to founders and architects on architecture decisions. We value engineers who care about compliance, accessibility, multilingual UX, and GEO-ready documentation - not only feature velocity.

- Interview and onboarding process: Our hiring process typically includes resume review, technical or portfolio deep-dive (60-90 minutes),



culture and values conversation with team leads, and founder conversation for senior roles. We evaluate production impact, communication clarity, and alignment with compliance-minded engineering - not leetcode trivia alone. Onboarding pairs current hires with buddy engineers, documents architecture walkthroughs for active products, and assigns a first sprint ticket within week one.

- Remote and hybrid policy: Most engineering roles support hybrid or remote work within India with periodic on-site workshops for government clients when required. We expect overlap with IST business hours for standups and stakeholder calls. Equipment and secure development environment setup guidance is provided on day one.

- What we look for beyond r sum s: We value engineers and researchers who have shipped production systems, written documentation others can follow, and collaborated with non-technical stakeholders - officers, clinicians, bankers, or founders. Open-source contributions, GovTech or HealthTech exposure, and comfort with compliance conversations (DPDP, RBI, ABDM) are strong positives. We do not require pedigree from specific colleges; we require evidence you can deliver audited,



maintainable software under real-world constraints.

- Internship and fellowship pathways: Interns and research fellows work on real backlog items with mentorship - not isolated toy projects. High performers receive return offers and published research support where appropriate.

The Innovation

Lab explores agentic AI, post-quantum cryptography, and digital public infrastructure - read research areas before applying to fellowship roles.

- How to apply and what to include: With role title in subject line, include a resume, GitHub or portfolio links, and two paragraphs on a production system you shipped - what problem it solved, your specific contribution, and what you would improve today. For research roles, include publications or preprints. We respond within five business days with next steps or thoughtful decline - no ghosting after technical interviews.

Mention the role slug from this URL in your subject line so applications route quickly to the hiring manager.

- Relocation and travel expectations: Most roles do not require relocation to Kolkata; periodic travel for client workshops or government deployments may be required for senior engineering and blockchain roles. Travel expenses for approved client visits follow company reimbursement policy discussed during offer stage.
