At nFerence Labs, the "Google of Biomedicine", we are building the world's first massive-scale platform for pharmaco-biomedical computing. Our platform is premised on using AI/Deep Learning (on clinical text, medical images, and other signals) and massive high-performance computing to help pharma companies perform faster and more efficient drug discovery, and also help early diagnosis of several key diseases.
We collaborate heavily with premier medical institutions such as the Mayo Clinic and build systems to get deep medical insights from patient information including patient notes and lab information, medical images, ECGs, etc. We are a well-funded company and are looking to grow on all fronts.
We are hiring an experienced backend staff engineer for our Pramana team. Our Digital Pathology-as-a-service venture, Pramana is an in-line quality assurance software suite which for the first time in the industry, provides confidence to the labs for the accuracy and applicability of their digital assets while supporting industry-standard image formats.
Pramana’s whole slide imaging system is built upon the strong hardware expertise of former Spectral Insights (that nference acquired in 2020) and the strong software expertise of nference. Modular systems with Robotic automation have allowed Pramana to reduce the reliance on several technical staff. This will significantly reduce the total costs of ownership and is a more transparent model for Pramana’s clients.
Must have
– 5+ years experience with solid backend/engineering experience in C++/ Python
– Knowledge of data structures and an eye for architecture.
– Solid CS fundamentals, fluent in multi-threaded and asynchronous programming, and a strong inclination for architecting at scale.
– Excellent technical design, problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills.
– Rapid prototyping worked on distributed systems at scale.
– Basic knowledge of SQL as well as NoSQL databases.
– Proficient in Golang/ Python, design, and concurrency patterns.
Good to have
– Proficient in writing unit tests and profiling and benchmarking golang applications
– Experience in maintaining protobuf contract
– Experience in working with GRPC and grace
Benefits:
– Be a part of the “Google of biomedicine” as recognized by the Washington Post
– Work with some of the brilliant minds of the world solving exciting real-world problems through Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, analytics and insights through triangulating unstructured and structured information from the biomedical literature as well as from large-scale molecular and real-world datasets.
– Our benefits package includes the best of what leading organizations provide, such as stock options, paid time off, healthcare insurance, gym/broadband reimbursement.

Role & Responsibilities
As a Senior GenAI Engineer you will own the AI layer of our product — building the features that make Zenskar intelligent. This is not a research role and not a prompt-engineering role. You will build production AI systems that enterprise clients depend on, which means reliability, observability, and rigorous evals matter as much as the AI capability itself. You own the full vertical — the model, the pipeline, and the UI.
– Build and own CS Copilot — a real-time assistant for customer success teams, spanning STT pipelines, live transcription, and LLM-powered suggestions
– Build LLM-powered document understanding features — extracting structured, reliable data from unstructured enterprise documents
– Own AI feature UIs end-to-end — you build the interface, not just the model integration layer
– Design and maintain an eval framework — define what 'working' means for each AI feature and catch regressions before users do
– Drive model selection and integration decisions — choosing the right provider and approach for each use case, managing latency and cost
– Own AI platform reliability — observability, fallback behaviour, and graceful degradation when models fail
– Work closely with product, customer success, and the full-stack engineer — AI features only matter if they are usable and trusted by real users
THE IMPACT YOU'LL MAKE-
– You will define what AI means at Zenskar — the features you ship will be the most visible and differentiated parts of the product
– CS Copilot, if done well, changes how enterprise customer success teams operate every single day — this is a high-stakes, high-visibility surface
– You will establish the engineering culture around AI reliability at Zenskar — evals, observability, and disciplined iteration
– Your work will directly accelerate enterprise deals — AI features are increasingly a buying criterion for our clients
– You will be the person who brings engineering rigour to a domain where most companies ship demos and call it a feature
Ideal Candidate
– Strong Senior GenAI / AI Backend Engineer Profiles
– Mandatory (Experience 1) – Must have 4+ years of total software development experience, with at least 2+ years working on AI/LLM-based features in production
– Mandatory (Experience 2) – Must have strong backend engineering experience using Python (FastAPI / Django preferred) and building production-grade systems
– Mandatory (Experience 3) – Must have hands-on experience building LLM-based applications, including OpenAI / Gemini / similar models in real projects
– Mandatory (Experience 4) – Must have experience with RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) including chunking, embeddings, and retrieval pipelines
– Mandatory (Experience 5) – Must have experience designing end-to-end AI pipelines, including chaining, tool usage, structured outputs, and handling failure cases
– Mandatory (Experience 6) – Must have experience building agentic AI systems (multi-step workflows, tool orchestration like LangGraph / CrewAI or custom agents)
– Mandatory (Experience 7) – Must have strong coding and system design skills, not just prompt engineering or experimentation
– Mandatory (Experience 8) – Must have experience shipping AI features in production, not just POCs or research projects
– Mandatory (Experience 9) – Must have experience working with APIs, backend services, and integrations
– Mandatory (Experience 10) – Must have understanding of AI system reliability, including latency, cost optimization, fallback handling, and basic eval thinking
– Mandatory (Company) – Product companies / startups, preferably Series A to Series D
– Mandatory (Note) - Candidate's overall experience should not be more than 7 Yrs
– Mandatory (Tech Stack) – Strong in Python + AI/LLM ecosystem, experience with modern AI tooling and frameworks
– Mandatory (Exclusion) – Reject profiles that are only Prompt Engineers, Data Scientists, or Frontend Engineers without strong backend + system building experience
– Preferred (Skill) – Experience with fine-tuning (LoRA / QLoRA) or open-source model deployment (vLLM / Ollama)
– Preferred (Frontend) – Basic ability to build or contribute to frontend (React or similar)
– Highly Preferred (Education) – Candidates from Tier-1 institutes (IITs, BITS, NITs, IIITs, top global universities)

You will help us build and train realistic face-swap and deepfake video models, powering the next generation of AI-driven video synthesis technology.
This is a remote, individual-contributor role offering exposure to cutting-edge AI model development in a startup-like environment.
Key Responsibilities
– Research, implement, and fine-tune face-swap / deepfake architectures (e.g., FaceSwap, SimSwap, DeepFaceLab, LatentSync, Wav2Lip).
– Train and optimize models for realistic facial reenactment and temporal consistency.
– Work with GANs, VAEs, and diffusion models for video synthesis.
– Handle dataset creation, cleaning, and augmentation for face-video tasks.
