AI Engineer Jobs in Dhaka: Periscope Labs Senior Applied AI Engineer Post Pays BDT 125,000-150,000, Apply by 15 November

Periscope Labs posted a new opening for AI engineer jobs in Dhaka on 4 November 2026, advertising a Senior Applied AI Engineer post at its Banani, Dhaka office on a full-time basis. The company said the role pays BDT 125,000 to BDT 150,000 a month, with festival bonuses and performance incentives on top, and applications close on 15 November 2026.

Read the experience bar before anything else, because this is a senior post with a fixed floor. Periscope Labs said applicants need at least seven years in software engineering, including at least three years in AI and machine learning and at least two years shipping large language model features to production. The post does not state how many vacancies are open, nor a remote or hybrid pattern, so applicants should not assume the role can be done from outside Dhaka. It also says nothing about visa sponsorship or work authorisation, which matters for anyone applying from outside Bangladesh.

What the Senior Applied AI Engineer role involves

Periscope Labs described the post as a hands-on technical leadership role, not a ticket-taking job. The person hired will take AI work from idea to production, set the company's standards for AI quality, and mentor its AI and machine learning engineers.

The day-to-day work covers large language model features first: retrieval-augmented generation, semantic search, natural-language-to-SQL, and document intelligence. The engineer will also build vision and document AI, including printed and handwritten optical character recognition and vision-language models for forms, identity documents, and cheques. A further strand is agentic AI systems, which the company said must be built with human approval points, least-privilege access, and audit trails, so that automated steps stay under human control.

Deployment is part of the job, not an afterthought. The post lists deploying and optimising models on-premise and in the cloud using vLLM, Ollama, Hugging Face, and Triton, and running AI in production with MLOps and LLMOps practices. The engineer will build evaluation sets and track accuracy, hallucination rate, latency, and cost per request, defend systems against prompt injection and data leakage, build complete applications around AI using Cursor or Claude Code, turn customer problems into scoped features, demonstrate them to customers, and mentor engineers.

Bangla AI work sits at the centre of the post

One part of the posting stands out for applicants in Bangladesh. Periscope Labs said the engineer will build AI for Bangladesh, covering Bangla and Bangla-English text and speech, with quality measured in Bangla rather than judged only in English. Bangla natural language processing and speech appear again in the company's list of strong pluses, alongside handwritten OCR and vision-language models, text-to-SQL, MCP and LangGraph, fine-tuning small models, financial services experience, and mentoring.

That emphasis fits the company's client base. Periscope Labs said it is an ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001 certified software company building enterprise platforms, analytics, and AI products for financial services, enterprise, government, and international clients, and that AI is now central to its roadmap. Applicants who have shipped Bangla language work, or document AI for forms and identity papers of the kind banks and government offices use, will be able to speak directly to the work described. The post also offers a growth path to AI Lead.

Who Periscope Labs wants for this AI engineer job in Dhaka

The required qualifications are specific, and applicants should check themselves against each line. Periscope Labs asked for strong Python, backend services and APIs, SQL, Git, and Docker, plus hands-on work with large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, vector search, and structured output. It also asked for systematic AI evaluation, described as measurement rather than demonstrations that only look right, experience serving open-source models on-premise, security awareness for AI systems, and clear communication with engineers and business leaders.

For readers comparing routes into paid AI work, the contrast with hourly AI training work is worth noting. AI training jobs for software engineers pay by the hour for reviewing and ranking model-written code, while this Periscope Labs post is a salaried, full-time leadership role with product ownership. Readers may also want AI startup hiring across 1,100 companies and AI training jobs for consultants.

How to apply for the Periscope Labs Senior Applied AI Engineer post

Applications go by email, not through a portal. Periscope Labs said applicants should email their CV and LinkedIn, GitHub, or portfolio to careers@periscopelabs.io with the subject line Senior Applied AI Engineer. The post asks each applicant to include one AI application built end to end, setting out their own role, the architecture, and how its quality was measured. That example should match the work described, with numbers for accuracy, latency, or cost where they exist.

Applicants should send the email before the deadline of 15 November 2026 and keep a copy of what they sent. The post does not state a fee, a test stage, or an interview schedule, so applicants should treat anything beyond the stated email route with care. A genuine employer does not ask applicants to pay to apply, and any message asking for payment to secure this role should be treated as a fraud attempt.

What to check before applying

Three gaps in the posting deserve a direct check with the company before an applicant commits. First, the post does not state the number of vacancies. Second, it does not state whether any remote or hybrid working is possible, and the location given is Banani, Dhaka, so applicants outside Dhaka should ask rather than assume. Third, it does not mention notice periods, probation, or the split between on-premise and cloud work beyond the tools listed, so those points are worth raising at interview.

For applicants in Nepal and elsewhere in South Asia watching AI hiring in the region, the post is still a useful signal: a Dhaka software company is hiring a senior applied AI engineer specifically for Bangla language and document AI, at a stated monthly salary, with a short application window ending on 15 November 2026.
