At Atharva Syscom, our Machine Learning team sits at the core of everything we build. You will work on large-scale language models, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and agent-orchestration systems used by Fortune-500 clients.
As a Senior ML Engineer you won't just train models—you'll architect the systems that take them from experiment to production, collaborating with product, backend, and data engineers to solve real-world enterprise challenges.
"Lead the research, design, and deployment of production-grade ML models that power Atharva's enterprise AI agents platform."
What You'll Do
- Design, train, fine-tune, and evaluate LLMs and smaller task-specific models for enterprise use-cases.
- Build and maintain end-to-end ML pipelines including data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, and serving.
- Optimise model inference latency and throughput for high-availability production environments.
- Collaborate with product and engineering to translate business requirements into ML problem formulations.
- Mentor junior ML engineers and conduct rigorous code and experiment reviews.
- Publish internal research notes and contribute to Atharva's technical blog.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of hands-on ML/AI engineering experience, with at least 2 years in NLP or LLM work.
- Strong proficiency in Python and PyTorch (or JAX/TensorFlow).
- Deep understanding of transformer architectures, attention mechanisms, and RLHF.
- Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, or similar).
- Solid software engineering skills: clean code, testing, CI/CD, containerisation.
- Familiarity with cloud ML platforms (AWS SageMaker, GCP Vertex AI, or Azure ML).
- Strong analytical thinking and ability to read and implement research papers.
Nice to Have
- Experience deploying agents using frameworks like LangGraph, CrewAI, or AutoGen.
- Knowledge of quantisation techniques (GPTQ, AWQ, GGUF) for edge/CPU inference.
- Publications at NeurIPS, ICML, ACL, or EMNLP.
- Experience with distributed training (FSDP, DeepSpeed, Megatron-LM).
Tools & Technologies
- Equity Package
- Meaningful stock options from day one.
- Remote-First
- Work from anywhere with a ₹60K home-office stipend.
- Learning Budget
- Health Cover
- Medical, dental & vision for you and family.
