As a member of our Applied Research team, you will be responsible for conducting cutting-edge research to advance the capabilities of our AI systems. Your role will involve designing, implementing, and evaluating novel approaches to improve our GenAI models, working at the intersection of GenAI research and product development.

• Serve as the subject matter expert in various domains of GenAI research and development, including:

  • Data pipelines: Design and optimize data processing workflows for large-scale model training

  • Training methodologies: Implement pre-training, mid-training, and post-training strategies and optimization techniques

  • Reinforcement learning: Develop RL algorithms for GenAI with applications in decision-making, personalization, and several other tasks

  • Multimodal AI: Create systems that effectively process and generate across text, image, audio, and video modalities

  • Personalization: Design and implement tailored GenAI experiences by understanding user behavior, preferences, and contexts to deliver customized content and recommendations

  • Knowledge representation and retrieval: Develop techniques for effectively representation of information and knowledge elicitation, as well as search and retrieval

• Play a technical leadership role in designing, developing, and scaling novel algorithms and models by taking them from research prototypes to production-ready systems that deliver real-world impact

• Lead groundbreaking research initiatives in GenAI by identifying high-impact problems, designing innovative experiments, and developing solutions that advance both theoretical understanding and practical applications.

• Drive strategic decision-making processes by contributing to technology assessment, roadmap planning, and identifying areas for innovation that align with Articul8's business objectives.

• Partner with cross-functional teams to integrate cutting-edge research findings into products and maintain our technological leadership in the market.

• Monitor and analyze emerging trends in generative AI and related fields, sharing valuable research contributions through publications at prestigious conferences and journals.

• Mentor and guide junior team members and help build a strong culture of rapid innovation.

• Education: PhD/MSc degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning (ML), or a related field.

• Professional experience: 8+ years of experience as an AI researcher with a track record of applied research and/or product development (out of which, at least 3+ years should be on actively developing GenAI technologies).

• Core technical skills:

  • Experience developing tools, libraries, and infrastructure for data preprocessing, model training/finetuning, and deployment of LLMs in research and production environments.

  • A strong background in parallel/distributed computing on the cloud.

  • Machine learning, deep learning, probability theory and statistics, natural language processing, computer vision, data wrangling and preparation, model evaluation and interpretation.

• Programming Skills: Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and experience working with version control systems (e.g., Git) and collaborating on code repositories is crucial.

• Experience with cloud computing platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

• Proven track record of publications in top-tier conferences and journals.

• Problem Solving: ability to break down complex problems into manageable components, devising creative solutions, and iteratively refining ideas based on feedback and experimental evidence.

• Collaboration and Communication: proficiency in working within cross-functional teams - communicating clearly, providing constructive criticism, delegating responsibilities, and respecting diverse perspectives.

• Critical Thinking: ability to carefully evaluate assumptions, questioning established methodologies, challenging own biases, and maintaining skepticism when interpreting results.

• Curiosity and Continuous Learning: ability to stay curious about advances in related fields and constantly seeking opportunities to expand knowledge base.

• Emotional Intelligence and Intellectual Humility: capable of displaying empathy, resilience, adaptability, and self-awareness. Ability to recognize own limitations, embracing uncertainty, acknowledging mistakes, and valuing others' contributions.
