Requirements

Role Overview
We are looking for an AI Engineering Lead who is obsessed with reimagining how software is built in the age of AI.

This is not a traditional engineering role. You will challenge the status quo, replace legacy development practices, and lead the transition from SDLC → AI-led CDLC (Continuous Development Lifecycle).

You will work hands-on, influence senior engineers and architects, and build AI-powered systems that dramatically accelerate delivery, quality, and innovation.

What You Will Do
1. Build AI-Native Applications
Design and develop AI-first applications using LLMs, agents, and modern AI stacks

Architect systems leveraging tools like:

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and similar coding agents

Own end-to-end delivery: idea → prototype → production

2. Lead AI Adoption Across Teams
Drive AI adoption across architects, senior engineers, and delivery teams

Introduce best practices for:

Prompt engineering

AI-assisted development workflows

Code generation, testing, and debugging via AI

3. Transform SDLC → AI-led CDLC
Challenge conventional development processes

Redesign workflows to incorporate:

AI pair programming

Automated code reviews

AI-driven testing and documentation

Define and implement a Continuous Development Lifecycle (CDLC)

4. Be a Hands-On Leader
Write code, build prototypes, and experiment constantly

Evaluate new tools, frameworks, and agents rapidly

Set engineering benchmarks through execution, not just direction

5. Build a Culture of AI-First Thinking
Inspire teams to rethink how software is built

Mentor engineers to become AI-augmented developers

Drive mindset shift: from effort-driven → outcome-driven engineering

What We Are Looking For
Must-Have Skills
Proven hands-on experience building AI-led applications

Deep familiarity with:

LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models)

Coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.)

Strong understanding of:

System design

APIs, backend services, and modern architectures

Experience integrating AI into real-world engineering workflows

Behavioral Traits (Non-Negotiable)
Self-motivated – does not wait for instructions

Builder mindset – learns by doing

Challenges authority & legacy thinking (constructively)

Comfortable working in ambiguity and fast-changing environments

Passionate about changing how software is built, not just maintaining it

Good to Have
Experience driving AI adoption at team/org level

Exposure to DevOps, CI/CD, and automation pipelines

Familiarity with evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and AI safety

Experience Requirement
Irrelevant.

We care about what you can build, not how long you’ve worked.

Work Model
Based in Delhi NCR

Willing to work from Noida office 3–4 days/week

No drama, no excuses — we value ownership and commitment

What Success Looks Like (6 Months)
Teams actively using AI in daily development workflows

Measurable improvement in:

Development speed

Code quality

Deployment frequency

A functioning AI-led CDLC model in production

Why Join Us
Opportunity to redefine software engineering practices

Work with a team that values builders over talkers

High ownership, zero bureaucracy

Be at the forefront of AI-native Engineering transformation
