Senior AI Engineer
NewAbout the Role
Lead AI infrastructure for fraud detection and merchant copilots. Own the ML platform end-to-end.
As a Senior AI Engineer at Razorpay, you'll join a small, senior team building AI-native fintech products from the ground up. You'll work daily with Claude, Cursor, Python to design, ship, and scale features that customers use every day. This is a high-ownership role — you'll have direct input on what we build and how we build it.
What You'll Do
- Architect end-to-end fintech workflows that integrate LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) with internal systems
- Optimise inference cost, latency, and reliability across services
- Collaborate with product, design, and customer teams to translate business problems into AI solutions
- Own the full lifecycle of features — from spec, prototype, A/B test, to rollout
- Lead architectural reviews for new FinTech initiatives
- Instrument observability — eval pipelines, prompt versioning, cost dashboards
- Write clean, well-tested code in Python / TypeScript and review PRs from peers
What We're Looking For
- Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, or both
- Strong hands-on experience with Claude / Cursor / Python in real production environments
- Bias for shipping — comfortable owning ambiguous problems end-to-end
- Experience with prompt engineering, evals, and prompt-versioning workflows
- Solid understanding of REST APIs, webhooks, queues, and event-driven design
- Bachelor's degree in CS, Engineering, or equivalent hands-on portfolio
- Comfort working with vector databases (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate)
Nice to Have
- Past work in the FinTech domain
- Built and operated agentic systems in production
- Open source contributions to AI / dev-tools projects
- Have written publicly (blog posts, talks, OSS) about AI engineering
Why join Razorpay?
- Work on problems that genuinely move the needle in FinTech
- Direct ownership — your code reaches real users within days, not quarters
- Learn from a team that has shipped at scale and built with Claude, Cursor, Python from day one
- Tiny team, big surface area — wear multiple hats and grow fast
