Alexa Translations provides translation services in the legal, financial, and securities sectors by leveraging proprietary A.I. technology and a team of highly specialized linguistic experts. Unmatched in speed and quality, our machine translation engine is best-in-class and specifically trained for the French-Canadian market. If that wasn't enough, our technology is backed by two decades of award-winning client service.

We are looking for a Senior 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 be working in the R&D Team which reports to the VP of Technology with the objective to develop and implement state-of-the-art algorithms by fast prototyping. We expect our Senior Generative AI Engineer to stay current with the technological cutting edge and drive the application of LLM and GenAI to translation, as well as having solid background and hands-on experience with deep learning, machine learning, natural language processing, and big data. You'll play a pivotal role in pushing the boundaries of applying GenAI to translation scenarios and create innovative solutions.

• Research and implement state-of-the-art LLM techniques including continued pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning from human or AI feedback (PPO, DPO, GRPO, etc.), and LLM deployment while also focusing on prompt engineering and GenAI more broadly.
• Work closely with our expert advisor to strategize, plan, and design technical roadmaps and features of GenAI products.
• Develop prototypes of GenAI and LLM application to translation use cases.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers, guiding them in best practices, algorithms, and technologies related to generative AI and LLMs, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous learning within the team.
• Drive technological innovations by staying current to the cutting-edge achievements of GenAI and LLM from industry and academia.
• Stay updated with the latest advancements and research trends in generative AI, attending conferences, workshops, and seminars, and actively contributing to the AI research community through publications and presentations.
