Senior AI Engineer — Uniphore

About this Senior AI Engineer role at Uniphore

Uniphore is a conversational AI company built for enterprise-scale NLP challenges, and this Senior AI Engineer position in Chennai is your chance to lead AI architecture work in one of India's fastest-growing AI centers. You'll be working on production conversational AI systems that power real businesses — not toy projects. This is a role for someone with 4+ years of hands-on NLP experience who's ready to step into a senior position at a well-funded MNC.

What you'll do

• Design and deploy conversational AI systems using transformer models and modern NLP architectures in production environments
• Develop and fine-tune large language models and deep learning solutions for dialogue, intent recognition, and entity extraction
• Build machine learning pipelines using Python and industry frameworks to train, evaluate, and optimize NLP models
• Lead technical decision-making on model selection, data preprocessing, and algorithm optimization for conversational AI use cases
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate business requirements into scalable AI solutions

Who should apply

You need at least 4 years of hands-on experience in NLP, deep learning, or conversational AI. This is a senior-level role, so Uniphore expects you to have shipped production NLP systems, worked with transformers and modern architectures, and be comfortable mentoring junior engineers. Strong Python skills and a portfolio of machine learning projects are table stakes — this isn't an entry-level position.

Salary & offer in context

Uniphore is offering ₹25–50 LPA (approximately ₹2,08,333–₹4,16,667 per month) — a competitive range for a senior AI engineer in India.
