    Applied AI Research Lead

    In-office · BangaloreFull-time

    Why this role matters

    Mortgage operations depend on accuracy, evidence and defensible decisions. This role sets the technical direction for how our AI understands documents, reasons across a loan file and produces outputs that operators can trust and act on.

    What you will own

    • Build production AI systems for document understanding, extraction and multi-document reasoning across mortgage and title workflows.
    • Own model selection, evaluation harnesses and quality thresholds tied to real workflow outcomes.
    • Evaluate performance with structured benchmarks, error analysis and human review sampling.
    • Improve system reliability through prompting, retrieval, fine-tuning, verification and controlled fallbacks.
    • Translate operator feedback into measurable model and system improvements.
    • Lead technical decisions on architecture, tooling and applied research direction.

    Expected outcomes in the first 90 days

    • Deliver a first evaluation harness for one production workflow with baseline metrics.
    • Ship one measurable accuracy or reliability improvement to a live application.
    • Establish a repeatable pattern for error analysis and regression tracking.
    • Define the applied AI roadmap for the next two quarters with owner and outcome per initiative.

    Experience and capabilities required

    • Strong track record building and shipping production AI or ML systems.
    • Deep working knowledge of LLM systems, retrieval, evaluation and prompting patterns.
    • Comfortable defining metrics, running experiments and defending trade-offs with evidence.
    • Strong software engineering foundation in Python and modern AI tooling.

    Helpful additional experience

    • Experience with document intelligence, OCR pipelines or structured extraction at scale.
    • Prior exposure to regulated domains such as financial services, insurance or healthcare.
    • Experience mentoring engineers or leading small technical teams.
