Role: Senior AI Engineer, Innovation
Location: Pune
Experience: 6+ year
Role summary:
Zoop’s Innovation team builds the AI tooling the rest of engineering runs on: an internal model router that gives every agent one endpoint, one bill, and one audit trail; a desktop coding client that drives tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor; a developer CLI and installer that put all of this on every engineer’s machine; and a repo-aware bot that answers questions and files work in Slack and Linear. The team is small, the roadmap is long, and everything we ship is something we use ourselves every day.
Zoop is on a journey to become an AI-native organisation, and this role sits at the centre of it. We are hiring a Senior AI Engineer to take this work forward. You will maintain and grow these projects, experiment with current models and tools as they come out, and work with teams across the company, not only engineering, to turn what works into everyday AI-native workflows and automations. You will track how the organisation is adopting AI, measure it, and improve it over time,
and you will run sessions that help teams build the skills to work this way. Within your first year you will also start growing the team, hiring one or two engineers.
This is a hands-on role. Expect to spend most of your day inside agentic coding tools, writing TypeScript and Go, and shipping small, useful things often.
About the team:
The Innovation team works across the whole organisation, engineering and beyond, as part of Zoop’s journey to becoming AI-native. We build internal tools first and adopt them ourselves, so the feedback loop is short: if something is annoying, we feel it the same day. Current projects cover the model router, the desktop coding client, the developer installer and CLI, and Slack and Linear automations. We keep a running log of experiments and their results, and we prefer small, reversible steps over big launches.
What you will do:
• Maintain and improve the team’s projects:
