Generative AI Engineer

We are looking for a Generative AI Engineer to develop our next-generation intelligent translation and translation-related service engine, using Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Model (LLM) technologies. You will report to the team lead in AI Innovation, develop and implement state-of-the-art algorithms by fast prototyping, and collaborate with the software team to deploy models. We expect our Generative AI Engineer to work at the intersection of LLM engineering, machine translation, cloud infrastructure, and evaluation. You'll play a pivotal role in pushing the boundaries of applying GenAI to translation scenarios and create innovative solutions.

Responsibilities

• Implement state-of-the-art LLM techniques including continued pre-training, instruction fine-tuning, preference alignment, and LLM deployment.
• Work closely with machine learning engineers and data engineers to design, build, and test models.
• Develop efficient and scalable algorithms for training and inference of generative models, leveraging deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch and optimizing performance on diverse hardware platforms.
• Train and evaluate generative models using appropriate metrics and benchmarks, fine-tuning model parameters, architectures, and hyperparameters to optimize performance, stability, and generalization.
• Build end-to-end prototypes that are production ready.
• Work closely with software and DevOps engineers to deploy GenAI models.
• Document code, algorithms, and experimental results, following best practices for reproducibility, version control, and software engineering, and contributing to internal knowledge sharing and continuous improvement initiatives.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or related fields. A Master’s degree is preferred.
