Three fresh openings across funded AI startups are live on Brank, spanning red-teaming, foundation model infrastructure, and forward-deployed engineering. If you’re looking to work at the founding-team level of an AI-native startup — or you’re a senior engineer eyeing a GenAI/Agentic AI pivot — these are worth a look.
1. AI Security Engineer (Red Teaming / LLM Security)
Location: Bangalore (onsite) Experience: 1–3 years Team: Founding team at a funded AI startup
About the Role
You’ll be part of the founding team building out AI security capability at an early-stage, funded startup. The mandate centers on stress-testing large language models before attackers do — probing for the failure modes that matter most as LLMs move into production systems.
What You’ll Work On
- Red-teaming LLMs to uncover exploitable weaknesses
- Prompt injection testing and mitigation strategies
- Jailbreak discovery, classification, and defense design
- Building repeatable evaluation frameworks for model safety and robustness
Who This Is For
Engineers with 1–3 years of experience who have hands-on exposure to LLM behavior, adversarial testing, or applied ML security, and who want founding-team ownership rather than a slot on an established team.
2. AI/ML Engineer — Foundation Models & Infra
Location: Bangalore (onsite) Experience: 3–5 years Team: Founding team at a funded AI startup
About the Role
A founding-team infra role for engineers who want to own the machine learning stack that powers a foundation-model product — from fine-tuning pipelines to the GPU infrastructure that serves them at scale.
What You’ll Work On
- Fine-tuning foundation models for product-specific use cases
- Deploying and optimizing inference with vLLM
- Designing and managing GPU infrastructure for training and serving
- Building the ML platform layer as an early, high-ownership hire
Who This Is For
Engineers with 3–5 years of experience in ML infrastructure, model serving, or applied deep learning, comfortable operating with minimal process at an early-stage company.
3. Forward Deployed Engineer
Location: Hyderabad Experience: 7+ years Compensation: Up to ₹50 LPA
About the Role
A senior, client-facing engineering role suited to someone who has already put in the reps as an SDE-1/SDE-2 and is now looking to specialize in GenAI/Agentic AI deployment — including candidates planning to pursue an MBA and return to a GenAI-focused track afterward.
Ideal Background
- Strong foundation in core software engineering (SDE-1/SDE-2 level) before moving into GenAI/Agentic AI
- 7+ years of overall experience
- Comfortable working directly with enterprise clients to deploy and customize AI systems in production environments
