About the Role
**We’re Hiring . Engineering Head (VP/EM): pi-authentify . pi-labs . Pune
At pi-labs, we’re building AI platforms that defend digital truth at the highest levels of national security and intelligence.
We’re looking for a heavyweight technical leader to head engineering for pi-aunthentify, our AI-powered media authentication engine.
This isn’t a role for someone who manages from a distance. We need a hands-on Engineering Head who is as comfortable in the codebase as they are in a sprint planning meeting, the bridge between cutting-edge research and a production-ready product.
You’ll be responsible for:
— End-to-end ownership of the Authentify product lifecycle
— Deep-dive technical oversight across CV and audio feature integration
— High-quality code reviews and architectural integrity
— Regular engine upgrades and client deployments with clinical precision
— Forensic-grade data pipelines, from collection to model-ready input
— Automation of manual workflows and DevOps optimization
What we’re looking for:
— B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science or Electronics
— 6–8 years of engineering experience with a strong background in productionizing deep learning models
— Hands-on coder — this is non-negotiable
— Deep working knowledge of latest DL architectures
— Someone who wants to solve one of the hardest problems in digital integrity
Compensation:
Open to market leading standards for the right candidate
If you’re a technical leader who still loves to code and wants to solve one of the hardest problems in digital integrity, let's talk.
