Bengaluru, Karnataka, India ThinkO - Stealth AI Venture Full time ₹ 12,00,000 - ₹ 36,00,000 per year

Warning: This is not a standard growth role. Standard playbooks are for companies building standard things. We are not one of them.

The world doesn't need another endless feed. It needs a revolution in how we consume information.

At ThinkO, we're building a product so different, it has no direct competitors. We're creating an AI-powered experience that gives people back their time and empowers them to think with clarity. This is a groundbreaking, zero-to-one journey.

If you are driven to solve complex, meaningful problems at a foundational level, you may have found your home.

We are now searching for our first AI Engineer. You will be the architect of our intelligence
and

the master builder of the robust backend that delivers it.

Your Mission (The Grand Design)

  • Forge our Core SLM (Small Language Model):

You will lead the development of our proprietary model from the ground up. This SLM is our core IP—the engine that will power the entire product with its
agility, focus, and precision.
-
Build its Foundation:

You will architect and build the robust, scalable backend services and APIs that serve this model and fuel all of our product initiatives.
-
Build the Signal from the Noise:

You will implement the algorithms that leverage our SLM to extract timelines, key perspectives, and meaningful insights from raw data, turning chaos into clarity.

This Is You (The Architect We're Looking For)

  • A First-Principles Thinker.

You don't just use tools; you understand how they work and can build from the ground up when necessary.
- A Model Builder, Not Just a Model User.

You have hands-on experience fine-tuning, training, or building language models. The prospect of creating a specialized, highly efficient SLM excites you.
- A Pragmatic Systems Builder.

You find elegance in well-designed APIs and scalable infrastructure just as much as you do in a clever algorithm.
- Driven by Purpose, Not Hype.

The challenge of using AI to fight misinformation excites you more than just chasing the latest trend.

What We're Looking For (The Toolkit)

We believe extraordinary talent isn't measured in years. If you have a portfolio of projects that showcase your passion and skill in building intelligent systems, we want to talk to you. The ideal candidate will be comfortable with 

  • Core Language:

Python
- AI Stack:

Experience with
PyTorch

or
TensorFlow

, and libraries like
Hugging Face Transformers

.
- Model Expertise:

Hands-on experience with
model fine-tuning

, quantization, and deployment.
- Backend Development:

Building and scaling services with frameworks like
, FastAPI, etc.
- API & Database Design:

Crafting RESTful APIs and working with databases like
Firestore or Postgres.
- A portfolio

(GitHub, personal projects) that speaks louder than a resume.

Why This is a Once-in-a-Career Opportunity

  • Join as a True Owner:

This is a founding team role with
foundational equity

. You will share directly in the value and success you help create from day one.
-
Build the Core IP:

You are not just using AI; you are creating the proprietary Small Language Model that will be our single greatest asset and competitive advantage.
-
A Blank Canvas:

No technical debt. You will make the foundational architectural decisions that will define our product for years to come.

Ready to build the engine of a revolution? 


Apply now and share a link to a non-obvious AI/ML project or paper that you admire.
