AI Engineer

About this role

## About Fermi

Fermi is an early-stage AI tutoring startup, an initiative of Meraki Labs, dedicated to revolutionizing education globally. Our mission is to democratize world-class tutoring by making it accessible to every student through advanced AI. We are a dynamic and lean team of educators, designers, and engineers, united by a strong conviction that thoughtful design and cutting-edge AI can profoundly transform the learning experience.

Led by experienced founders, including Mukesh Bansal (Founder – Myntra, CureFit, Nurix) and Peeyush Ranjan (VP-Google, CTO-Flipkart, Airbnb), we are building a product that aims to reshape how millions of students learn—turning academic challenges into accomplishments. We operate out of Bangalore, India, fostering a high-velocity environment that prioritizes impact, ownership, and direct collaboration to define and build the future of AI in education.

## Role Overview

We’re hiring an AI Engineer who is a problem-solver first: someone who can ship, debug, and iterate fast. You’ll help build the core AI workflows powering our tutoring product—especially agentic tutoring systems—and harden them into production-grade, scalable, observable systems.

This role is intentionally not for everyone. If you want tight scope, predictable tasks, or “only research / only backend,” this won’t fit. If you like building real systems end-to-end and seeing your work hit production quickly, you’ll love it.

## What You’ll Do

• Build and ship **core AI workflows** for our tutoring app:

- agentic tutoring flows (hinting, step-by-step guidance, misconception detection)
- answer evaluation / grading and feedback loops
- retrieval + grounding (content ingestion, chunking, embedding, re-ranking)
- personalization (student memory, progress signals, difficulty adaptation)
- multimodal pipelines (images/diagrams; bonus if you’ve touched voice)
- Turn prototypes into robust production systems...
