Machine Learning Lead

Full time | Bengaluru, Work from Office

Note: Shortlisted candidates will complete a take-home assignment as part of the process.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced ML leader to drive the machine learning roadmap across Hoomanely's sensor-driven product ecosystem, with deep focus on digital signal processing, audio signal analysis, and accelerometer data. You've led ML teams and taken models from research to production before , building CNNs, RNNs, GANs, LLMs, and low-rank adaptation techniques into real products. You'll set technical direction, grow a team of ML engineers, and turn raw sensor data into the insight that helps pets live longer, healthier lives.

What You'll Do

- Define and drive the ML roadmap across the product ecosystem, aligning model development with product and business priorities

- Lead the design of custom ML models from scratch for digital signal processing, audio signal analysis, and accelerometer data , published papers or demonstrable custom-built models expected

- Apply advanced techniques , time series analysis, CNNs, RNNs, GANs, LLMs, low-rank adaptation , to solve hard problems in pet wellness technology

- Build, lead, and mentor a team of ML engineers, setting technical standards and a culture of rigorous experimentation

- Own sophisticated data analysis and preprocessing pipelines that prepare datasets for ML at scale

- Establish MLOps practices and infrastructure that get models into production reliably, at scale

- Set benchmarks for continuously monitoring and optimizing model accuracy and efficiency

- Partner closely with product,



engineering, and data science leadership to ship ML into Hoomanely's product ecosystem

- Stay ahead of the field in ML and signal processing, and drive a culture of research and innovation at Hoomanely

You Might Be a Fit If…

- You have a B.Tech in Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field from a Tier 1 institute (IIT, NIT, BITS Pilani, or equivalent) , mandatory

- You have 10+ years building custom ML models, including for digital signal processing, audio signal analysis, or accelerometer data

- You've led and grown ML teams, with a track record of taking models from research into production

- You have strong depth in time-series ML, CNNs, RNNs, GANs, LLMs, and low-rank adaptation techniques

- You have deep MLOps experience , deploying and running ML models in production

- You're fluent in TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Python

- You bring strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills

- Bonus: experience in pet wellness or a related industry

- Bonus: familiarity with IoT device data processing and analysis

- Bonus: knowledge of cloud platforms for ML deployment

- Bonus: published research or patents in applied machine learning

Why Join Us?

- Lead ML from the ground up on a category-defining, sensor-driven product , not a legacy stack

- Own one of the hardest, most interesting problems in pet health: turning raw signal into insight

- Take full ownership from day one, with a direct line to product and founding leadership

- Build the team you wished you'd had , hire, mentor, and set the bar
