Senior AI Engineer

About the Team:

The AI Solutions Org is a new, high-velocity engineering unit at Flipkart with a singular mission: to accelerate AI adoption across the entire company. Will operate as a "SWAT team" for AI - building end-to-end solutions for business functions that lack engineering bandwidth, while also partnering with the core Data Science team to optimize and scale state-of-the-art models (FK LLMs, Open Source, Commercial).

About the role:

The "AI-Native" DNA

This is not a traditional software engineering role. We believe the future of coding is AI-assisted.

You are expected to be an AI-Native Engineer:

● You don't just write code; you orchestrate it. You leverage tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and LLMs to write code, generate test cases, debug, and perform RCAs at 10x speed.

● You are Full-Stack + AI. You are comfortable setting up a backend API, building a quick UI, and engineering a complex RAG pipeline in the same sprint.

You are responsible for:

● Focus: Architecture, Strategy & Complex Solutions

● What you’ll do:

○ Architect complex Agentic Systems (multi-agent orchestration, planning, memory management).

○ Drive the Distillation Strategy: Lead efforts to convert massive models into smaller, task-specific models for cost efficiency.

○ Define best practices for "AI-Native Development" across the org.

○ Act as a technical liaison between Business Leaders and Engineering.

○ Design end-to-end architecture for mid-sized AI applications.

○ Mentor Grade 8/9/10 engineers on AI-native workflows.

You should have:

● Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

● 7-10 years exp. Deep expertise in Distributed Systems & NLP.

● Experience deploying LLMs at scale.

● Strong communication and analytical skills
