  • Develop and deploy models using transformer architectures, embeddings, and modern deep learning techniques to power intelligent workflows.

What We’re Looking For

  • At least 5 years of hands-on experience in applied machine learning and data science, with a proven ability to deliver customer-facing AI solutions that drive measurable results.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow), and data manipulation tools like NumPy, pandas, and SQL.
  • Experience working with RESTful APIs and large-scale datasets to inform product development and optimization.
  • Deep understanding of statistical modeling, AI/ML methodologies, and NLP applications, with a focus on shipping impactful features.
  • Familiarity with deploying models in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and integrating with platforms like OpenAI or Anthropic.

Preferred Experience

  • Prototyping with emerging AI technologies to assess real-world applicability.
  • Designing and analyzing A/B tests to validate feature effectiveness.
  • Working with OpenSearch or ElasticSearch for model integration.
  • Java development, ML-Ops practices, and secure model deployment.
  • Contributing to ethical AI frameworks, including bias mitigation and model security.
