Role : Artificial Intelligence

About IDfy :

IDfy is Asia's leading TrustStack, making compliance easy, fraud detection smarter, and onboarding seamless. Trusted by global leaders like HDFC Bank, Zomato, Amazon, PhonePe, Paytm, and HUL, we handle over 2 million verifications per day. Our platforms OnboardIQ (frictionless onboarding), OneRisk (proactive fraud and risk management), and Privy (data governance/DPDPA compliance) form one seamless solution enabling trust.

We at IDfy are looking for an AI Lead / Director AI to drive the end-to-end development of advanced AI systemsturning cutting-edge research into scalable, real-world production solutions. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of deep mathematical thinking, hard problem-solving, and large-scale engineering.

What Youll Do :

1. Problem - Data - Solution Leadership :

- Frame ambiguous, complex business problems into mathematically well-defined AI problems.

- Design data strategies aligned to the problem structure, and drive full lifecycle ownership.

2. Research - Production - Scale :

- Translate research papers into reliable, high-performance production systems.

- Reproduce results, simplify architectures, and scale models for real-world constraints (latency, cost, throughput).

3. LLM & GenAI Expertise :

- Build and fine-tune LLMs; design RAG pipelines grounded in embedding geometry, retrieval statistics, and transformer internals.

- Own model selection using quantitative tradeoffsnot guesswork.

4. Full-Stack Production AI :

- Lead data pipelines, training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.

- Build scalable APIs and services that expose AI capabilities safely and reliably.

5. Performance, Optimization & Scale :

- Optimize models and systems for distributed training, inference efficiency, numerical stability, and high-throughput production workloads.

6. Engineering & Technical Leadership :

- Mentor engineers on math-driven problem solving, ML systems design, experiment rigor, and best practices.

What You Bring :

- 3-6 years of AI initiatives with strong foundations in math (probability, statistics, optimization, linear algebra).

- Proven ability to solve complex AI/ML problems across NLP, Computer Vision, and GenAI.

- Deep LLM production experience : fine-tuning, RAG, embedding systems, model evaluation, and at least two LLM products shipped.

- 3+ years building and operating large-scale AI systems (distributed training, real-time inference, monitoring, drift detection).
