  • You possess experience developing, deploying, and evaluating machine learning models in production or top-tier research environments and have a deep understanding of transformer architectures and advanced retrieval mechanisms.
  • You enjoy designing novel, non-standard AI solutions by introducing core architectural changes or applying foundational mathematical disciplines such as stochastic modeling, graph theory, or optimization algorithms, and have a track record of peer-reviewed publications demonstrating this work.
  • You have production-grade Python skills, including experience with automatic differentiation frameworks like PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow, and experience training large-scale models across distributed GPU clusters using frameworks like DeepSpeed or TorchTitan.


Even Better If...

  • You have experience building production-grade ML pipelines using tools like Kubeflow, Airflow, or MLflow for tracking, versioning, and automated retraining.
