Applied AI Engineer — Writer India

About this Applied AI Engineer role at Writer

Writer is hiring Applied AI Engineers in Bengaluru on a hybrid basis — a direct opportunity for mid-level AI engineers in India to work on large language models and enterprise AI deployments. Writer builds AI infrastructure for enterprises, and this role puts you at the center of real-world LLM applications serving production customers across industries.

What you'll do

• Fine-tune and optimize large language models (LLMs) for text generation and content tasks, tailoring models to specific customer domains
• Build and maintain Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems that enhance LLM outputs with contextual knowledge bases
• Design and implement enterprise-grade AI deployments, ensuring reliability, latency, and scalability in production environments
• Work with text models and transformer architectures to solve real business problems for Writer's customer base
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate AI capabilities into product features and customer solutions

Who should apply

You need 3+ years of hands-on experience in AI engineering, ideally working with content generation, text models, or language models. This is a mid-level role — not entry-level, but open to engineers who've shipped AI projects and understand the gap between research and production. You should be comfortable with Python, familiar with LLM frameworks, and have tackled at least one real deployment challenge. No background in Writer's specific domain required, but curiosity about how language models power business is essential.

Salary & offer in context

Writer offers ₹35–70 LPA (approximately ₹2.9–5.8 lakhs per month), reflecting mid-to-senior positioning in India's AI engineering market. Applied AI Engineer salaries in India for professionals with 3+ years experience typically range ₹25–60 LPA depending on company stage and AI specialization; this band sits in the competitive-to-premium tier, especially for roles involving LLM deployment and fine-tuning.

Path to apply

This is a direct online application through Writer's careers portal — no exam, no intermediary, just your resume and a clear demonstration of your AI engineering work. The application deadline is June 8, 2026, so apply within the next two weeks if this fits your trajectory. Bengaluru is the primary location, but the role is hybrid, giving you flexibility to work partly remote while staying connected to the team.
