Founding Engineer

Founding Engineer, AI Platform - InCommon

Location: Pune

We started with one obsessive question: can hiring be made deterministic? We've been building toward that answer since 2023, and we need the person who's going to build the engine that gets us there.

About the company

InCommon is hiring on behalf of a stealth-mode startup focused on building transformative AI-powered solutions.

The Job

You'll sit with recruiters on Monday, figure out what's broken, and ship something into their hands by Thursday. No Jira tickets, no design specs handed to you just a hard problem and full ownership.

You'll build and own the full agent stack - sourcing, screening, interview assist, fit evaluation plus the eval harness that keeps it honest. When recruiters need a workflow surface to use what you built, you'll build that too, front to back. When a fine-tuned 3B model beats a frontier API call, you'll know and ship that instead.

You're our person if

• 24 years of engineering experience, AI-native by instinct reaching for agent frameworks before being asked
• Shipped a real agent system: tool use, memory, evals, and the unglamorous plumbing included
• Built full-stack applications end to end and owned them in production
• Hands-on with SLMs - LoRA, quantization, tokenizers, serving trade-offs, no bluffing
• Can talk to recruiters like a human being they're your closest collaborators
• The determinism question makes you want to find out, not roll your eyes

Why this?

Most AI jobs are "add a chatbot and call it AI-native." This isn't that. Your decisions become the architecture. The good ones and the embarrassing ones.

If that sounds fun, let's talk.

InCommon is an equal opportunity employer. We're building a diverse team because it makes us better at the problem we're trying to solve.
