Job Description

About Apna:

Apna is India's largest jobs and professional networking platform for frontline workers. We're building the infrastructure to power hiring, skill-building, and career growth for 300 million+ working Indians. As we expand our AI-first platform across voice, text, and multimodal workflows -- we're looking for a bold and curious

AI Data Scientist

who wants to shape the future of applied Gen AI.

Requirement:

1

Location:

Bengaluru (Work from Office - Domlur)

Team:

AI & Machine Learning

Experience:

3-5 years

Requirements

What You'll do:

Fine-tune and deploy

LLMs, TTS, STT, and voice models

for use in real-time conversations with millions of users. Convert

unstructured, messy real-world audio/text data

into clean, high-quality datasets for training and evaluation. Build

inference pipelines

optimized for low-latency, high-accuracy voice agents and multimodal interfaces. Work closely with infra and product teams to ship

production-grade GenAI models

with observability, fallback, and monitoring. Experiment with

GANs, diffusion models, audio generation

, and multimodal fusion to power next-gen AI agents. Own the full model lifecycle --

from research and training to deployment, testing, and iteration.

What we're Looking for:

3-5 years of hands-on experience in AI / ML roles, ideally in

startups or product-driven teams.

Strong grasp of

LLM fine-tuning

, instruction tuning, or pretraining techniques. Familiarity with

TTS/STT systems

, Whisper, Tacotron, VITS, or commercial tools like ElevenLabs. Experience with

multimodal architectures

, generative audio, GANs, or diffusion-based models. Ability to

work with real-world messy data

, design training pipelines, and debug model failure modes. Fluency in frameworks like

PyTorch, HuggingFace, TensorFlow

, and ecosystem tools (ONNX, Triton, LangChain, etc.). Passion for building high-impact AI features that ship to real customers.

Benefits

Why Join Us:

Work at the cutting edge

of LLMs, voice AI, and generative models -- and ship real products, not just prototypes.

Directly impact millions of users

by powering AI agents that help with hiring, learning, and career growth.

Collaborate with a world-class team

of AI engineers, researchers, and product minds who move fast and ship boldly.

Freedom to explore:

Own experiments, propose architecture, or contribute to foundational model training.

Startup speed, enterprise scale --

best of both worlds. Rapid iteration and direct customer feedback. *

Multilingual India - first problems

that push the boundaries of speech, reasoning, and personalization.
