About EkaCare and the mission
EkaCare is India's connected healthcare platform: an EMR that doctors run their practices on, a personal health record used by millions of Indians, and one of the deepest integrations with India's ABDM digital-health rails. Our Parrotlet family of medical models already serves Indian doctors in production, and we open-source our work where it counts.
Now, under the IndiaAI Mission, EkaCare has been selected to build India's open healthcare foundation model: a ~30B-parameter MoE trained on ~500B+ tokens across 12+ Indic languages. Weights and the India-specific clinical eval suite ship in open domain.
The role
The versatile builder, you go where the run needs you; data, training, evals, serving, and you leave every system better-instrumented than you found it.
What you'll do
- Build corpus pipelines that feed GPUs without stalls: filtering, dedup, PII redaction, tokenisation, streaming dataloaders at ~500B-token scale.
- Run distributed training jobs on multi-node H200 clusters; make failures loud, recoveries fast, dashboards honest.
- Build the eval and experiment tooling researchers live in.
- Wire fast inference paths (vLLM-class) for model iterations.
- Automate whatever annoyed you last week.
What we look for
- 3–6 years of strong software engineering with real ML training exposure; you've fine-tuned or trained ≥1B-parameter models, not just called APIs.
- Distributed-computing fundamentals: Slurm or Kubernetes, NCCL basics, storage/throughput intuition.
- Data engineering at scale; Spark, Ray, or whatever gets the job done.
- A bias for ownership: you don't ask whose job it is.
Bonus
- Triton/CUDA curiosity; profiler literacy.
- Open-source projects or contributions.
- Healthcare or Indic-language data experience.
Why this is a rare gig
- Open source, with your name on it: weights and technical reports ship publicly.
- India-scale mission: models for a billion people in their own languages.
- Compute that’s rare to fine: dedicated multi-node H200 training under a national grant.
- Small senior team: you work with the people who own the recipe.
- A live deployment path: Government institutes, EkaCare's doctors and patients use what you ship.
