About Valent
Valent is building AI workflow software for compliance-heavy manufacturers.
Our initial focus is contract manufacturers and cosmetic manufacturers, where teams spend enormous amounts of time collecting supplier documents, preparing customer evidence packets, responding to retailer audits, and chasing down the information required to keep production and commercial relationships moving.
These workflows are high-stakes, repetitive, fragmented across systems, and still heavily manual. Valent turns that operational burden into structured, auditable, AI-assisted workflows that help teams move faster without losing control.
We are looking for a Founding Applied AI Engineer based in India who wants to help build practical AI systems for real operational workflows, not just demos or generic copilots.
This role is focused on applying modern AI techniques to messy enterprise problems involving documents, retrieval, reasoning, workflow automation, and human-in-the-loop review.
The role
As a Founding Applied AI Engineer at Valent, you will help design and build the core intelligence layer of the product.
You will work across document extraction, retrieval systems, workflow orchestration, evaluation pipelines, agentic task execution, structured data generation, and user-facing AI features. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who enjoys turning ambiguous business processes into reliable software systems.
You should be excited by the challenge of making AI genuinely useful in environments where accuracy, traceability, and user trust matter.
Because Valent is an early-stage company, this role is best suited for someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, communicates clearly in a remote environment, and can take ownership of technical problems without needing every detail specified upfront.
As one of the earliest engineering hires, you will also have significant influence over the technical direction, architecture, product decisions, and engineering culture of the company.
What you’ll work on
You will help build systems that:
Extract structured information from supplier documents, specifications, certificates, declarations, questionnaires, audit evidence, and regulatory files.
Power AI-assisted workflows for document collection, evidence packet assembly, customer requests, and audit preparation.
Use retrieval, ranking, and document understanding to help users find the right evidence across fragmented sources.
Generate draft responses, summaries, checklists, and compliance artifacts th
