Résumé du poste

Indian AI Research Organization (IAIRO) is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to architect and implement hybrid AI systems that combine LLMs with structured knowledge. You will train, fine-tune, and optimize large-scale models, integrating them with Knowledge Graphs and ontologies to deliver grounded, production-ready solutions.

You will lead a team of engineers and researchers, driving end-to-end development from model training to deployment on high-performance compute resources.

Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Computer Science, AI, or related field or equivalent industry experience.
• 5+ years software engineering with Python proficiency.
• Extensive LLM training and RAG architectures experience.
• Strong knowledge of Knowledge Graphs, SPARQL/Cypher and RDF/OWL.

Responsabilités

• Design and implement neuro-symbolic integration architectures linking LLMs with knowledge graphs.
• Lead LLM training, fine-tuning, and optimization on domain-specific data.
• Build scalable knowledge representations, ontologies and triple stores as truth layer.
• Develop high-performance backends for neuro-symbolic AI with low-latency inference.
• Translate cutting-edge research into robust production-ready code.
• Mentor engineers and researchers to foster rigorous engineering and AI development.

Description du poste

About The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer for a platform that creates small/compact, custom/target and neurosymbolic AI models for Enterprises, you will lead the architectural development and implementation of hybrid AI systems. You will take a hands‑on role in building and leveraging knowledge bases, going beyond off‑the‑shelf LLMs to train, fine‑tune, and optimize large‑scale models that work in tandem with structured knowledge systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Neuro‑Symbolic Integration: Design and implement architectures that link LLMs with Knowledge Graphs (KGs) to ensure factual grounding and commonsense reasoning.


• LLM Training & Optimization: Lead the training and fine‑tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs) on domain‑specific datasets (e.g., healthcare, pharmaceuticals) using techniques such as LoRA, QLoRA, and distributed training.


• Knowledge Graph Engineering: Build and maintain scalable knowledge representation systems, ontologies, and triple stores that serve as the truth layer for AI agents.


• System Architecture: Develop high‑performance backends for Neuro‑Symbolic AI systems, ensuring low‑latency inference and seamless integration between neural and symbolic components.


• Research‑to‑Production: Translate cutting‑edge research papers on C3AN methodologies into robust, production‑ready code.


• Mentorship: Lead a team of engineers and researchers, fostering a culture of rigorous engineering and innovative AI development.

Required Skills & Experience

• Education: M.S. or PhD in Computer Science, AI, or a related field (or equivalent industry experience).


• Core Engineering: 5+ years of software engineering experience with deep proficiency in Python.


• LLM Expertise: Extensive experience in Large Language Model training, including pretraining, instruction tuning, and RAG (Retrieval‑Augmented Generation) architectures.


• Symbolic AI: Strong foundation in Knowledge Graphs, SPARQL/Cypher, RDF/OWL, and logic‑based reasoning frameworks.


• ML Frameworks: Expertise in PyTorch or TensorFlow, along with experience using distributed training libraries such as DeepSpeed or Megatron‑LM.


• Cloud & Infrastructure: Familiarity with GPU orchestration (CUDA, Triton) and deploying models on high‑performance compute environments (e.g., IndiaAI Cloud).

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience with Neuro‑Symbolic frameworks, Knowledge Graphs, and logical reasoning systems (e.g., Logic Tensor Networks, DeepProbLog).


• Contributions to open‑source AI projects or publications in leading venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, or AAAI.


• Experience in domains such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, or healthcare.

About Project C3AN

C3AN is a flagship project focused on the next generation of AI: Custom (solving specific tasks or domain‑specific problems), compact (small or right‑sized), Neuro‑Symbolic AI. The project aims to address the limitations of purely data‑driven models such as hallucinations and limited reasoning by integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) with Symbolic AI (Knowledge Graphs, ontologies, and logic systems).

The goal is to build context‑aware, explainable, and factually grounded systems that leverage both "System 1" (fast, intuitive) and "System 2" (deliberate, logical) modes of reasoning.
