About Mondee
Mondee is the world's largest AI-first travel platform, revolutionizing how people experience the world through artificial intelligence. We have built an integrated ecosystem serving millions of customers globally, partnering with hundreds of airlines and hotels to power searches and bookings at massive scale. Our AI platforms - Mondee, Miraee, and Abhee - represent the convergence of agentic AI capabilities building the infrastructure for the future of intelligent travel.
Our Founder, Chairman and Group CEO, Prasad Gundumogula, is a serial entrepreneur focused on building platforms that impact billions of lives. At Mondee, we believe technology should create opportunity at scale - for partners, customers, and communities worldwide.
The Opportunity
You will work directly out of the founders office on high-impact, future-focused projects that shape the company's strategic direction. You will have real ownership, real stakes, and direct exposure to how a world-scale platform gets built. If you have already shipped an agentic AI product and you want to do it at a scale most people never touch, this is the role.
We are building AI infrastructure for the future of travel. That means deploying agents that handle real decisions across real workflows - not demos, not experiments that live in notebooks. The work is hard, the bar is high, and the opportunity is significant.
Who You Are
- A builder. You have written code that runs in production or a working demo environment.
- Agentic-first. You understand what makes an agent actually agentic - tool use, multi-step reasoning, autonomous decisions - not just a chatbot with a prompt.
- A systems thinker. You see how pieces connect. You design before you code.
- Execution-oriented. You prioritize ruthlessly, move fast, and close loops.
- Curious and self-directed. You do not need hand-holding. You figure things out.
What You Will Do
- Work directly with the Founder-CEO on high-impact, future-focused projects that shape strategy
- Design, build, and ship deep AI agents that solve real problems across product, content, and GTM
- Tackle unsolved problems no traditional team owns, turning ambiguity into working solutions
- Prototype deep AI agents that automate workflow, and unlock new capabilities for the business
- Translate industry trends into internal prototypes that position the company for the future
- Partner with product, content, and GTM leaders to surface gaps and architect agentic solutions
- Research cutting-edge AI tools, frameworks, and architectures to inform what we build next
- Go from idea to functional agent in days, not months. Iterate based on real usage.
What You Will Gain
- A front-row seat to how a Founder-CEO thinks, prioritizes, and decides; no middle layer, no filters
- Hands-on experience building production-grade AI agents and skills defining the next decade of work
- A portfolio of AI agents you designed, built, and shipped
- Mastery of the modern AI stack including LLMs, agent frameworks, orchestration, and evals
- End-to-end ownership of projects with real business impact
- The chance to grow your role based on the impact you create
What We Are Looking For
- A working demo you can submit - 90 to 120 seconds, screen recorded or live. The agent must be visible doing real things: calling tools, making decisions, completing a multi-step workflow. No slide decks. No narration over a static interface.
- Genuine passion for AI. You build, read, and tinker with it because you love it, not because it's trendy
- Founder mindset. You treat every project like it's your own company
- High velocity. You ship fast, learn faster, and iterate in public
- Agile by default. You pick up new tools, contexts, and problems on the fly
- Strong written and verbal communication
- F-1 students on OPT are welcome to apply.
What a valid demo looks like: Record 90 to 120 seconds of your agent running live. Show it receiving an input, making decisions, calling external tools or APIs, and returning a meaningful output. The recording should make it obvious that the agent is doing real work - not just generating text. Use Loom, a screen recorder, or a live product URL. If we cannot see the agent act, it does not count as a demo.

Is This You?
Not for you if: You need clear job descriptions, predictable hours, or defined scope.
Perfect if: You want to learn from a proven founder, are ready to prove yourself fast, and want to build something that touches hundreds of millions of lives.
You will work harder than you have before. You will be challenged constantly. And you will build a foundation - skills, pattern recognition, network - that most people spend a decade trying to develop.
Equal Opportunity Employer. We value diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
