About the Role
We're a small group of engineers, designers, and product folks building at the intersection of conversational AI and domain expertise. Making an AI agent sound human-like is hard. Making an AI an expert in a domain is also hard. We're doing both together. Our product is Vaya - an AI-powered Vedic astrology app used by millions.
The Research team owns two outcomes - First: becoming the company's authority on Vedic astrology. Second: breaking down real astrologer mechanics into fundamentals that our engineers can build digital personas on. Write benchmarks for the digital personas.

How We Work
We care about craft obsessively. Your work gets questioned, pulled apart, and rebuilt — not because we're harsh, but because everyone here holds each other to a standard most places don't bother with. We work out of a hacker house in Vasant Kunj. We strongly encourage everyone to be in office.
