About Ritually

We're using on-device AI to build a set of novel tools that help large enterprise customers map and automate the rituals that run their back office operations. We'll be operating from great co-working space in central Bengaluru.

About you

We're looking for a few incredible people in Bangalore to join our founding team from day 0. If you're super high ownership, want an opportunity to build with us from scratch, and love the craft of making, please reach out to us!

About us

We're Ari Winkleman (New York) and Rachel Bush (Denver). We previously built Involvio and exited to Cisco where we worked building enterprise AI products. We're already funded and have design partners.

The Role

Build our core data pipeline and intelligence layer from 0-1 alongside the founders, tackling critical technical challenges across the stack.

Design pipelines capturing high-volume system activity into structured, queryable data.

Sessionize event logs, cluster sequences, and leverage LLMs to label and summarize processes.

Build synthetic data generation pipelines and evaluation frameworks to measure accuracy and prevent regressions.

Own data quality, privacy, and end-to-end feature delivery with founding leadership.

What You're Looking For

1–4 years in data/AI engineering or backend development focused on data systems.

Strong proficiency in Python/TypeScript, SQL, and reliable data pipeline construction.

Expert experience with LLMs, prompting, structured output, and managing non-determinism.

Rigorous approach to evaluation, and data privacy, and navigating open-ended technical problems.

Expertise leveraging AI-native coding workflows and building tools that accelerate development.

Nice to Have

Process mining, event-log analysis, or workflow analytics experience.

Advanced PostgreSQL (window functions, pgvector) and cloud infrastructure experience.

Early-stage startup experience or a CS degree.
