About Us
Deccan AI is a model training and eval startup headquartered in the Bay Area. We are founded by IIT Bombay, IIM Ahmedabad and ex-Google alumni, and work with some of the top AI frontier labs in the world, e.g. Google Deepmind, Snowflake, and many more. We are backed by Prosus Ventures, and our India delivery office is in Hyderabad. Most of our roles are on-site i.e. Bay Area / Hyderabad.
What it is like to work @ Deccan
To be honest, our workplace is not for the faint-hearted. We work hard (usually 6 days a week - from the office). We work fast (many of our clients require same day turnarounds for their complex data needs). We like those who take ownership, roll up their sleeves and do. We like those who thrive in ambiguity and who can operate without titles / hierarchies.But what you will find: tremendous learning, tremendous growth, and a very motivated set of colleagues who are also fun to be around.
