AI Engineer (Contract)
With Saras, we're building the learning system for the future for busy professionals. We're starting out by solving standardized test prep, with ambitions to make a huge dent in this $120B+ market.
What we build through Saras feeds forward towards our even larger ambitions at Karwaan Labs. We're independent, bootstrapped, remote-first but mission-oriented. We're very early in the game, and have the right room to experiment and bring frontier tech to those who deserve it.
The role involves dealing with a new class of software altogether, which is 80% configuration, 15% coding with agents and 5% tasteful intuition about systems. Which is why you'd be expected to learn quickly, make mistakes and have a fun time working on important problem statements.
About the role
- Own the agent infrastructure that powers Saras: design, build, and maintain (~40 hours/week)
- Take key architectural decisions based on user pulse and new developments in agent frameworks
- Document key learnings tastefully and call out architecture limits well in advance; take part in setting long-term strategy of the product
Contract terms
- Duration: 3 months initial, with option to extend to 6 months by mutual agreement
- Cash: ₹35–50k/month
- Profit share:15% of Saras's net profit after 1L+ MRR, paid quarterly
- Tooling: All AI tools and subscriptions, fully expensed
After the 3-month period, we're open to renegotiate the terms of the contract subject to product trajectory and work performance.
What we're looking for
Expecting the following at a minimum, with some exceptions for stellar profiles:
- 2+ years of experience working on production-grade systems
- 1+ years of experience building/contributing to AI projects; exposure to OpenClaw/Hermes frameworks is a strong plus
- Fluency with concepts of agent memory, self-continuing loops and agent skills
- Above all, apply only if this resonates with you strongly: our manifesto — be prepared to ask and answer questions!
Applicants with compelling GitHub profiles or portfolios will be preferred over swanky resumes.
