About The Job Head of AI, Vertical AI Agents at Tamasha.live
- India's Most Exciting Live Entertainment Platform.

Location:
Bangalore. Reporting to : Co-Founder. Team : AI. Type : Full time. Work mode : Onsite. About Tamasha.live Tamasha.live is one of India's fastest-growing live entertainment and social gaming platforms, trusted by 2.5 Million+ active users. Built on the belief that entertainment should be immersive, rewarding, and community-driven, Tamasha brings together games, creators, and live experiences in one vibrant ecosystem. Our growing portfolio of apps spans social connection, entertainment, and live gaming : Dosti, DostiPro, MastiPro, FriendChat, Playroom, Openly, Cricsignal, Prabhu ji and Audio Jockey. Now we are building the next layer : vertical AI agents that help people with everyday needs. Each agent is grounded in a domain and earns money from the real value it delivers, not by charging people to chat. The Role You'll own the AI platform that every Tamasha agent runs on, and the business results those agents produce. The job is to make each agent predictable : it stays in character, remembers what matters, gets its domain right, and is safe and compliant, every time. This is a high-visibility role : you will report directly to the Co-Founder and work across Tamasha's multi-app ecosystem.

What You'll Do
• Build the shared platform : a reusable agent framework, long-term memory, evaluations, guardrails and domain tools.
• Set the model strategy. Choose and combine open-source LLMs (Llama, Qwen, Gemma, Indic models), using hosted APIs only where they're worth it. Fine-tune (SFT, DPO, LoRA) when it improves quality or cuts cost.
• Own unit economics. Lower the cost per conversation with routing from small to large models, distillation,



caching and quantised self-hosting.
• Make every agent predictable : persona consistency, memory design, accuracy, and safety on sensitive topics.
• Build evaluations, offline and online, including red-teaming, tied to conversation-to-transaction conversion and to retention.
• Work with domain experts to turn their knowledge into deterministic tools and grounded content.
• Protect user data : comply with the DPDP Act, and give users control over what agents remember.
• Hire, mentor and grow the AI team, starting with a Staff AI Engineer.

What You'll Need
• Hands-on approach.
• Around 10 years or more in ML or NLP, including shipping LLM or conversational systems to real users at scale.
• Hands-on depth in fine-tuning and evaluating open-source models, and in retrieval and memory design.
• A track record of cutting inference cost and latency without losing quality.
• Experience making model behaviour measurable and reliable through evaluations, guardrails and regression checks.
• Business judgement : you choose models and features by their effect on conversion, retention and margin.
• Experience leading engineers and explaining trade-offs clearly to founders. Why join Tamasha?
• Direct Co-Founder exposure : Report to the Co-Founder. Your work has board-level visibility and real strategic impact.
• Data-rich environment : Access to rich behavioural and conversational data across millions of users and multiple apps.
• Real ownership : A founding role building one AI platform behind several consumer agents, in a business that rewards solving real problems.
• Multi-app ecosystem : Work across apps at different stages : early-stage, growth, and scale, all in one company.
• Compensation : No limit for the right person. (ref:hirist.tech)
