Machine Learning Lead

Full-Time | Bengaluru, Work from Office

Qualifying Degree: B.Tech from a Tier 1 Institute | Experience: 10+ years

🧬 About Us

We're building the first precision health platform for pets — a sensor-driven, AI-powered ecosystem that decodes the health signals dogs give off every day — the ones most people miss — and turns them into insights you can act on.

We're not building another pet gadget. Every signal we decode — acoustic, motion, thermal — depends on machine learning done right. That's the problem this role exists to solve.

🚀 About the Role

We're looking for an experienced ML leader to drive the machine learning roadmap across its sensor-driven product ecosystem, with deep focus on digital signal processing, audio signal analysis, and accelerometer data. You've led ML teams and taken models from research to production before — building CNNs, RNNs, GANs, LLMs, and low-rank adaptation techniques into real products. You'll set technical direction, grow a team of ML engineers, and turn raw sensor data into the insight that helps pets live longer, healthier lives.

🎯 What You'll Do

• Define and drive the ML roadmap across the product ecosystem, aligning model development with product and business priorities
• Lead the design of custom ML models from scratch for digital signal processing, audio signal analysis, and accelerometer data — published papers or demonstrable custom-built models expected
• Apply advanced techniques — time series analysis, CNNs, RNNs, GANs, LLMs, low-rank adaptation — to solve hard problems in pet wellness technology
• Build, lead, and mentor a team of ML engineers, setting technical standards and a culture of rigorous experimentation
• Own sophisticated data analysis and preprocessing pipelines that prepare datasets for ML at scale
• Establish MLOps practices and infrastructure that get models into production reliably, at scale
• Set benchmarks for continuously monitoring and optimizing model accuracy and efficiency
• Partner closely with product, engineering, and data science leadership to ship ML into its product ecosystem
• Stay ahead of the field in ML and signal processing, and drive a culture of research and innovation.

💡 You Might Be a Fit If…

• You have a B.Tech in Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field from a Tier 1 institute (IIT, NIT, BITS Pilani, or equivalent) — mandatory
• You have 10+ years building custom ML models, including for digital signal processing, audio signal analysis, or accelerometer data
• You've led and grown ML teams, with a track record of taking models from research into production
• You have strong depth in time-series ML, CNNs, RNNs, GANs, LLMs, and low-rank adaptation techniques
• You have deep MLOps experience — deploying and running ML models in production
• You're fluent in TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Python
• You bring strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills
• Bonus: experience in pet wellness or a related industry
• Bonus: familiarity with IoT device data processing and analysis
• Bonus: knowledge of cloud platforms for ML deployment
• Bonus: published research or patents in applied machine learning

✨ Why Join Us?

• Lead ML from the ground up on a category-defining, sensor-driven product — not a legacy stack
• Own one of the hardest, most interesting problems in pet health: turning raw signal into insight
• Take full ownership from day one, with a direct line to product and founding leadership
• Build the team you wished you'd had — hire, mentor, and set the bar
