Our client is a stealth-mode consumer tech startup headquartered in Lewes, Delaware, building the next generation of dating and social platforms. With a vision to create authentic and meaningful online connections, the company is backed by top-tier investors and led by founders with decades of experience scaling global consumer products. To support their AI-driven vision, they are assembling a highly skilled team in Gurgaon, India, focusing on applied AI and computer vision initiatives.

Challenge

The client faced multiple challenges typical of hiring niche AI talent:

• Scarce specialized talent: Very few engineers had hands-on experience in Computer Vision, Generative AI, and deep learning frameworks (PyTorch/TensorFlow).
• Urgent project timelines: The product roadmap required a qualified Applied AI Engineer quickly to contribute to ongoing vision and GenAI projects.
• Competitive hiring market: Startups and MNCs were competing for the same niche AI talent.
• Balancing quality and speed: The client needed a candidate who could hit the ground running while fitting their collaborative, fast-paced culture.
