Senior AI Engineer

Meeru AI Inc; Hyderabad; On-site; INR 3,500,000 - 6,000,000; Full time

Job summary

Meeru AI Inc. seeks a Senior AI Engineer to build the AI and intelligence layer, ensuring outputs are grounded in verified data. You will own significant pieces end-to-end, working with Staff AI Engineer and evaluation engineer, and deploy per-customer models without leaking signals.

This hands-on role involves shipping production Python services with access to data warehouses, and growing toward staff-level technical ownership within a fintech-adjacent context.

Qualifications

• Experience building ML models for time-series and operational data.
• Hands-on with production-grade Python services and CI/CD.
• Experience embedding guardrails to ensure grounded outputs.

Responsibilities

• Build per-customer ML models and time-series baselines.
• Develop a template-first NLP layer with strict grounding.
• Implement agentic orchestration with verification checkpoints.
• Integrate LLMs in customer clouds (AWS Bedrock, GCP Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI).
• Collaborate with evaluation to gate grounding and faithfulness checks.
• Turn user feedback into durable model and system improvements.

Job description

About Meeru AI

Meeru AI is building an AI-native platform that transforms how finance and accounting teams operate. We connect to enterprise financial systems — ERPs, CRMs, billing platforms, HRIS — and apply machine learning to turn fragmented operational data into grounded, auditable intelligence for CFOs, controllers, and FP&A leaders.

We deploy on customer terms — SaaS multi-tenant, SaaS single-tenant, and on-premises — across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Our customers are Fortune 500 finance teams who require data isolation, auditability, and compliance.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to build the AI and intelligence layer — and help uphold the discipline that keeps it honest. Our output sits adjacent to externally reported financials, so “sounds plausible” is not good enough: everything the AI produces must be grounded in, and traceable to, verified data.

You’ll build the machine-learning models that learn each customer’s patterns, the LLM and agentic systems that produce grounded natural-language output, and help uphold the rigor that keeps that output faithful. You own significant pieces of the layer end-to-end, working closely with our Staff AI Engineer and evaluation engineer, and you build per-customer models without leaking the very signal they’re meant to detect.

This is a hands-on engineering role. You turn designs into robust production systems, measure quality rigorously, help turn user feedback into durable improvements, and grow toward staff-level technical ownership.

• Build per-customer ML models that learn normal vs. anomalous behavior on time-series and operational data, using statistical baselines and gradient-boosted models (LightGBM/XGBoost) with strict anti-leakage discipline.
• Build a template-first natural-language generation layer that is strictly grounded in verified data, using guardrails and structured output to prevent hallucinated or unsupported statements.
• Implement agentic orchestration (LangGraph or equivalent) with verification and human-confirmation checkpoints.
• Integrate managed LLMs running inside customer clouds (AWS Bedrock, GCP Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI).
• Partner with an evaluation engineer to gate grounding, hallucination, and faithfulness checks in CI.
• Turn user feedback into durable model and system improvements.
• Ship production Python services with SQL/warehouse access (Snowflake, PostgreSQL) in containerized, customer-hosted deployments.
  Nice-to-Have
• Finance or accounting domain experience (fintech, FP&A, ERP, audit, financial close).
• Feature-attribution experience (e.g. SHAP), along with an understanding of its limits.
• Human-in-the-loop systems and feedback loops.
• Hands-on work with Bedrock, Vertex AI, or Azure OpenAI in VPC or private deployments.
• Zero-inflated or sparse-event modeling.
