Senior Full-Time Remote (India preferred) / Guwahati Permanent

Compensation

INR 18 - 30 LPA.

Engagement

Full-Time

Permanent role. Full-time commitment. Remote-first, with periodic in-person off-sites.

Scope of role

Own complex problems end-to-end. Set technical direction. Mentor mid and junior teammates.

01 — The role

Why this role exists at EduRankAI

Own the company's sustainability footprint — emissions, energy, supply chain, climate-risk disclosure. Both the numbers AND the reductions. The role exists because most "sustainability" claims do not survive expert review, and ours have to.

02 — The work

What you will own

  • 01 Own Scope 1, 2, 3 emissions accounting + verification.
  • 02 Run climate-risk scenario analysis (TCFD aligned).
  • 03 Lead the net-zero / SBTi roadmap.
  • 04 Coordinate with engineering on data-centre + cloud-footprint reductions (LLM training and inference included).
  • 05 Author the climate section of the annual report.
  • 06 Liaise with auditors and ratings agencies.

03 — The expertise

04 — The bar

Who thrives here

  • You have authored or led at least one Scope 3 emissions inventory that was independently audited.
  • You have run a TCFD scenario analysis that produced specific operational changes.
  • You can defend a GHG number against a hostile auditor.
  • You have an opinion about the right way to account for LLM training and inference footprint, and you can defend it.
  • You write methodology notes that survive peer review.

05 — How we work

The EduRankAI environment

Remote-first, async-first

Work from anywhere. We optimise for deep work, not face time. Periodic in-person off-sites for the full-time team.

High autonomy, high standards

We hire adults and trust them. You will be expected to set your own goals, communicate clearly, and ship.

Builders, not bureaucrats

We optimise for clarity over process. Make the call, ship the work, write up what you learned.

Bharat-built, globally ambitious

We are an Indian frontier AI lab. We build for India first and the world second — in that order.

06 — Hiring process

What to expect after you apply

  1. 01

    Application review

    Every application is read personally within five business days. We respond either way.

  2. 02

    Take-home or live exercise

    Role-specific. Time-boxed. Real problems we are actually working on, not invented puzzles.

  3. 03

    Conversations

    Deep technical and values conversations with the team you would join. No trick questions. No panel ambushes.

  4. 04

    Offer or honest no

    If yes: digital offer letter, signed in-portal, transparent terms. If no: written feedback if you want it.
