Key Responsibilities
- Design, prototype, and evaluate applied AI solutions across natural language, vision, recommendation, and structured data domains.
- Translate ambiguous business problems into well-scoped ML formulations with clear success metrics and evaluation strategies.
- Stay current with the latest research in deep learning, large language models, and adjacent areas, and assess applicability to internal use cases.
- Implement rigorous experimentation workflows including baselines, ablations, and statistically sound evaluation methodology.
- Build production-quality training and inference pipelines using modern ML frameworks and orchestration tools.
- Collaborate with ML platform engineers to ensure efficient use of compute, storage, and accelerator resources.
- Optimize models for accuracy, latency, throughput, and cost based on production requirements.
- Develop tooling for dataset construction, labeling, validation, and ongoing monitoring of data quality.
- Partner with product, design, and domain experts to ensure model behavior aligns with user needs and policy requirements.
- Implement safety, fairness, and reliability evaluations and incorporate findings into model selection decisions.
- Document research findings, design decisions, and operational characteristics clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Mentor engineers on applied ML methodology, evaluation rigor, and responsible deployment.
- Contribute to internal knowledge sharing, reading groups, and prototype-to-production playbooks.
- Influence the broader AI roadmap based on research insight, capability gaps, and emerging opportunities.
- Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a closely related field; or equivalent applied experience.
- Six or more years of combined research and applied ML engineering experience.
- Strong proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX.
- Hands-on experience training, fine-tuning, and evaluating deep learning models at non-trivial scale.
- Solid grounding in mathematics, statistics, and the theoretical foundations of modern ML.
- Experience taking ML models from research prototype to production with appropriate observability and safeguards.
- Familiarity with distributed training, mixed-precision training, and accelerator hardware.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including ability to explain complex methods clearly.
- Demonstrated ability to read, evaluate, and adapt techniques from current research literature.
- Track record of shipping impactful applied AI projects.
- Published research at top-tier AI/ML venues.
- Experience with large language model training, fine-tuning, or evaluation.
- Familiarity with retrieval-augmented generation, agentic systems, or multimodal architectures.
- Exposure to responsible AI, model evaluation, and alignment practices.
- Experience contributing to open-source ML projects.
