Job Title: Hacker-Mind AI Engineer

Location: Bangalore, Mumbai

Team: Data & AI Innovation

🚀 About the Role

Fractal Analytics is seeking a rare breed of technologist — a Hacker-Mind AI Engineer — to join our Data & AI Innovation team. You won’t just write code; you’ll shape problems, prototype solutions, and experiment with bleeding-edge AI tools and infrastructure.

This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in ambiguity, enjoy building before a spec is finalized, and see every challenge as a systems puzzle waiting to be solved.

🔍 What You’ll Do

• Rapidly prototype end-to-end AI solutions — from data ingestion to model inference to deployment
• Explore and experiment with emerging technologies (LLMs, GenAI, real-time pipelines, etc.)
• Define ambiguous problem statements and shape technical solutions collaboratively with clients and internal teams
• Contribute to internal R&D sprints, solution accelerators, and tech deep-dives
• Serve as a technical thought partner to product owners, architects, and innovation leaders

🛠 Skills & Experience

Must-Haves:

• 5+ years of experience in software/data/AI engineering (or equivalent open-source/portfolio proof)
• Fluency in Python and at least one systems or compiled language (e.g., Rust, Go, TypeScript)
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML frameworks: PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace, LangChain, etc.
• Familiarity with cloud-native workflows: containers, orchestration, CI/CD, IaC (Docker, K8s, Terraform)
• Ability to work across the stack: data wrangling, modeling, API design, MLOps

Bonus Points For:

• Open-source contributions or personal GitHub projects
• Experience working with or building LLM-powered systems
• Knowledge of streaming, real-time data, or low-latency infrastructure
• Participation in hackathons, AI challenges, or research communities

🌍 How You Work

• You're autonomous, curious, and comfortable being the technical lead in an ambiguous environment
• You think in code and prototype fast
• You’re not just a problem solver — you’re a problem definer
• You keep up with tech trends not because you have to, but because you love to

✨ Why Fractal?

At Fractal, innovation is not a department — it’s our DNA. You’ll work alongside thinkers, doers, and experimenters who push the boundaries of AI every day. We value autonomy, depth, and the hacker spirit.

If you like wild growth and working with happy, enthusiastic over-achievers, you'll enjoy your career with us!
