About this AI Engineer role at EkStep Foundation

EkStep Foundation, a non-profit building digital public goods for education in India, is hiring mid-level AI Engineers in Bengaluru. This is a rare opportunity to work on production AI systems with real social impact — using NLP and Indian-language AI to solve problems for millions of learners across India. If you're a mid-level engineer with 3+ years of production AI experience, this role lets you combine technical depth with purpose.

What you'll do

  • Design and build production AI systems focused on natural language processing (NLP) and content generation at scale
  • Develop and fine-tune models for Indian-language AI applications, ensuring they work reliably across regional languages
  • Architect production systems that handle NLP pipelines for educational content delivery
  • Work on content generation systems that power EkStep's digital learning platform
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to translate educational needs into AI solutions

Who should apply

This AI Engineer role is for mid-level professionals with 3+ years of hands-on experience building production AI systems. You should have solid expertise in NLP, machine learning, and content generation pipelines. While EkStep values learning and growth, they're looking for engineers who can ship reliable systems from day one — not freshers looking to learn the fundamentals. If you've shipped NLP models or content generation features in production before, you're their target candidate.

Salary & offer in context

EkStep offers ₹20–40 LPA (₹1,66,667–₹3,33,333 per month), which is competitive for mid-level AI Engineer roles in Bengaluru's private sector. This sits in the middle range for AI engineers in India with 3+ years of experience, reflective of the specialist nature of NLP and production systems expertise required.

Path to apply

This is a direct application role — no competitive exam, no screening hassle. You apply directly via email to EkStep Foundation with your resume and portfolio. The application deadline is June 8, 2026, so if you're interested, apply soon. Hybrid work is available, though the role is based in Bengaluru.
