AI Team Lead (Intern)

  • Leadership role
  • Hyderabad (onsite from month 2)
  • Internship · 2–8 months
  • About 2 years' experience

Build hands-on, guide others, and help the team move from demo-level work to production-grade AI product delivery. This is not a pure management role: we need someone who can build, review, mentor and lead by example.

What you will do

  • Lead hands-on development of AI product features
  • Deploy and integrate open-source AI and LLM models
  • Support production deployment of VitaInspire products
  • Guide the team in choosing the right AI tools, models and architectures
  • Mentor junior engineers and interns
  • Review work for quality, usability, reliability and maintainability
  • Break product ideas into clear technical tasks
  • Help the team tell demo-level from production-grade systems
  • Stay current with AI developments and bring relevant tools in
  • Work with ownership, urgency and a startup mindset

Skills we value

  • Strong practical experience with AI and LLM-based applications
  • Experience with AI agents, RAG, automation workflows or model deployment
  • Strong Python and API development skills
  • Familiarity with LangChain, LangGraph, Hugging Face, FastAPI, Supabase, PostgreSQL, React, Vercel, Render, AWS or GCP
  • Understanding of security, reliability, monitoring, performance, privacy, testing and error handling
  • Ability to mentor and motivate a small team

How evaluation works

  • Month 1: Remote evaluation

    Basic stipend. Focus on technical strength, leadership potential, communication, ownership and ability to deliver independently.

  • Month 2: Onsite in Hyderabad

    Higher stipend. Focus on hands-on product delivery, mentoring, team leadership and a production deployment mindset.

Based on performance and deliverables, the role may be extended into a 6-month internship with a higher stipend. Continuation depends strictly on performance, ownership, leadership, learning attitude and the quality of deliverables.

A startup mindset

VitaInspire is an early-stage startup. We need someone with strong passion, commitment, ownership and the hunger to excel: comfortable with ambiguity, fast learning, changing priorities, and solving problems without waiting for perfect instructions. This suits someone who wants to lead by example, raise the team's standards, and help build production-grade AI products for real-world social impact.
