AI/ML Engineer — JEEVIKA

About this ML Engineer role at Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society (JEEVIKA)

JEEVIKA, Bihar's rural livelihoods promotion agency, is hiring ML Engineers for its SHG (Self-Help Group) impact analytics initiative—a government project that uses AI to measure and optimize rural development outcomes. Based in Patna, this mid-level contract role lets you apply machine learning to real social impact data, directly shaping rural India's economic growth.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain ML models that analyze Self-Help Group performance and social impact metrics from rural communities across Bihar.
• Process, clean, and explore social impact datasets to extract actionable insights for program improvement.
• Develop Python-based data pipelines and analytics workflows for rural livelihoods monitoring.
• Collaborate with JEEVIKA's program teams to translate business questions into data-driven solutions.
• Document model performance and create visualizations to communicate impact findings to non-technical stakeholders.

Who should apply

You should have a B.Tech or MCA degree with 2+ years of work experience in ML or data engineering. Mid-level engineers with hands-on Python and machine learning experience are ideal. Any prior exposure to rural development, social impact, or NGO data is valuable but not required—your technical foundation matters most.

Salary & offer in context

JEEVIKA offers ₹30,000–₹50,000/month on a 2-year contract basis. For a mid-level ML Engineer salary in India, this range sits comfortably within government sector norms, with the upper end reflecting experience and project complexity. Private-sector ML roles may pay more, but government roles often compensate with stability and mission-driven work.
