About the role
AI/ML Engineer Specter AI — The Hustle House 1–2 years experience | Indore, Full-time Salary Budget ₹20,000 – ₹40,000 per month, based on experience and fit Offer Designation AI/ML Engineer What we absolutely dont want Read this before you apply. If any of the below is you, please don't. • A resume that's 90% Python and 10% everything else — we need someone who moves across the stack, not a Python purist • An instinct to build an NLP model, a custom classifier, or your own AI system from scratch — we're not doing that here • The belief that AI engineering means training models — it doesn't, not in this seat • A preference for working in isolation on research-y side quests instead of shipping something a real client uses tomorrow • A habit of wanting to tweak nothing and reinvent everything the right way — we don't have time for that, and neither does the business • Anyone who identifies primarily as an ML researcher rather than a production engineer We've hired for this role before and gotten flooded with strong Python-only, build-it-from-scratch candidates who were the wrong fit on day one. Telling you this upfront saves both of us a bad three months. Roles & Responsibilities • Take existing, proven models and APIs and adapt them precisely for Specter's use case — reliably, cheaply, fast • Apply off-the-shelf intelligence with real engineering discipline — this is production work, not a research project • Call models through Node, structure prompts, and get consistent, structured output back • Design for caching of model responses by default, not as an afterthought • Think about the cost of every API call before writing it, not after the bill arrives • Work across the stack (Node + Redis) rather than staying siloed in Python • Ship features that real enterprise clients use — visible in production within days, not quarters • Work directly with the founding team, with no layers of management in between Required Skills • Node + Redis basics — comfortable working inside the stack, not learning it from zero • Model calling, not model building — prompt structuring and reliable structured output • Caching awareness and the instinct to design for it • Cost-optimisation instinct for every API call • Genuine prompt engineering expertise — reliable, repeatable production outputs, not casual ChatGPT use • Tooling fluency — function calling, agent frameworks, vector stores • Working RAG and Python knowledge — enough to be dangerous, not your entire identity Eligibility Criteria • 1–2 years of professional experience, having shipped something real • Comfortable with application over invention — solving a narrow, high-stakes problem with the best existing tools • Willing to work hands-on in a small, fast-moving founding team environment Work Schedule • Full-time, on-site role — 5 days a week • Working hours: 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM Tentative Joining Date 2–4 days upon selection The first three months from the date of joining will be a probationary period, following which the role will be confirmed as permanent.
