We serve millions of customers and over 1.75 million sellers through technology-driven innovation, building the scalable systems that power Meesho's most critical surfaces - Search, Recommendations, Personalized Ranking, Logistics, Fraud Detection, and Image Match.\nThe AI Platform sits at the heart of this. It serves a peak of 1M+ real-time deep-learning model inferences per second on ordinary days, scaling 3x+ on sale days - with the reliability that scale demands. The team works at the frontier of applied AI and infrastructure - multi-region inference, novel embedding-search algorithms, and optimized open-weight LLM models - squeezing out every bit of computation and passing the cost savings straight back to customers.\n About the Role\nWe are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager - AI Engineering to lead the development of scalable AI platforms and infrastructure while managing high-performing engineering teams. You will drive the design, delivery, and optimization of production-grade AI systems powering AI use cases across Meesho.\nWhat You'll Do\nLead, mentor, and grow a team of AI engineers - setting technical direction, raising the engineering bar, and owning execution and delivery end to end.\n\nArchitect and scale Meesho's AI platform: cross-region model inference, multi-GPU fleet allocation and management, distributed training, and feature-engineering infrastructure.\n\nDrive inference optimization across the full stack - GPU kernel tuning, quantization (including outlier/tail-distribution handling), and memory/IO-bandwidth optimization - while building agents that codify and delegate known optimization procedures.\n\nOptimize open-weight models at both the model and inference-engine level - distillation, quantization, speculative decoding, KV-cache and serving-engine tuning.\n\nScale data-science productivity through autonomous, agent-driven workflows spanning feature engineering, model training, and rollout.\n\nPush the frontier across MLOps, LLMOps, compute efficiency, and distributed ML systems.\n\nPartner with Product, Data Science, and Platform teams to turn AI capabilities into production impact for millions of users.\n\nOwn the team's operating rhythm: hiring, performance management, sprint planning, and OKRs.\n\nWhat You'll Need\nBachelor's or Master's in Computer Science or a related field.\n\n9+ years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years managing engineers.\n\nStrong hands-on experience with the modern LLM inference stack - TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, SGLang - and with production, low-latency model serving at scale.\n\nDepth in inference optimization: GPU kernel tuning, quantization, speculative decoding, KV-cache and memory/IO optimization. CUDA / GPU programming experience is a strong plus.\n\nExperience with distributed training and the frameworks behind it - PyTorch FSDP, DeepSpeed, Megatron, or Ray.\n\nExperience running GPU fleets in production - Kubernetes (ideally GKE), GPU scheduling and allocation, and multi-region/multi-cluster deployment.\n\nFamiliarity with building LLM-powered agents and agentic workflows, and a point of view on where autonomy can replace manual engineering toil.\n\nExperience with big-data and streaming stacks - Spark, Flink, or similar.\n\nProficiency in Python; systems-level fluency (C++ / Go / Rust) for performance-critical paths.\n\nStrong leadership, problem-solving, and stakeholder-management skills.\n\nPreferred\nOpen-source contributions to inference engines, training frameworks, or ML infra tooling.\n\nExperience managing GPU cost/efficiency (FinOps) for a large fleet on Cloud and Neo-Clouds.\n\nTrack record building platforms for high-scale consumer products (millions of users).\n\nFamiliarity with observability and reliability for ML systems (SLOs, autoscaling, incident response).","description_format":"text","description_chars":3911,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":9,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Marketplaces","Social Commerce"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-31T09:37:31Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":29,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.668,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":77,"expected_fill_days":64,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/meesho-engineering-manager-ai-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/meesho-engineering-manager-ai-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T15:19:49Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20716,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":418},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=418"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmeesho-engineering-manager-ai-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmeesho-engineering-manager-ai-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmeesho-engineering-manager-ai-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/meesho-engineering-manager-ai-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmeesho-engineering-manager-ai-engineering"}]}
