About Jithu Joijoide
With over 25 years in the tech industry, I've led high-impact AI/ML engineering teams at some of the world's biggest companies. I spent over 5 years at Meta building large-scale AI systems that power Facebook and Instagram's Ads, Recommendations, and Feeds. Before that, I spent 8 years at Yahoo!, where I built multiple AI Engineering teams from the ground up, developed AI frameworks and tools that powered core products. I also led machine learning teams focused on Trust and Safety that kept Yahoo's Ad ecosystem safe.
But here's what matters for you: I haven't just hired 100+ AI/ML engineers — I've built and mentored them. I've watched backend engineers grow into ML leads and helped data analysts become applied scientists, developed production engineers to ML Ops engineers. I know exactly what it takes to make that transition — the skills, the projects, the positioning — because I've guided engineers through it for over two decades.
Today, I run Technical Round, where I help software engineers break into AI/ML engineering tracks like AI product engineering, AI platform engineering, AI infrastructure engineering, AI Ops engineering etc. — even if they didnt have any formal training or experience in AI/ML.
If you're a backend, data, or software engineer who wants to transition into AI/ML but don't know where to start, you're in the right place. I'll help you build the skills, create a portfolio that stands out, position yourself for the right roles, and walk into interviews knowing exactly what hiring managers want to see.
This isn't generic career advice. It's a roadmap built from decades on the other side of the hiring table.
No fluff, No gimmicks. Just honest, expert support to help you get hired — and succeed once you're in.
I've helped engineers transition into AI/ML roles at Meta, Google, Apple, Anthropic, and many other leading organizations. They didn't all start with ML experience. They started with the decision to make the leap — and the right guidance to get there.
