About Pi School

Pi School is on a mission to empower businesses and professionals to leverage AI’s transformative capabilities. We believe technology should be an enabler, not a barrier, and it should empower individuals and businesses to grow, innovate, and stay connected. We strive for a world where AI and human potential coexist harmoniously, reshaping the way we work, learn, and prosper.

Born in 2017 from the expertise of Translated, an industry pioneer with over two decades of leadership in AI + human translation, Pi School has helped over 100 companies integrate AI solutions to improve their operations, enhance decision-making, and achieve sustainable growth.

Pi School remains at the forefront of the ever-evolving AI landscape and collaborates with prominent research centres and organisations worldwide, such as the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Commission, to harness AI for both cutting-edge research and practical solutions, driving progress in science and beyond. Our approach is founded on purposeful, impactful work, leveraging technology as a force for good.

We are looking for a Senior Deep Learning Scientist to work in our office in Rome.

We are recruiting for GenAI4Care, a 4 year European R&D project focused on generative models applied to healthcare, with applications in cardiovascular health and prostate cancer. We're working on multimodal reasoning, multimodal models, benchmarking, model reuse. Within Pi School, we expect a team of two scientists to work on this project. They will collaborate directly with researchers from other GenAI4Care institutions, and work alongside Pi School researchers on our other applied AI projects, most of which currently revolve around multimodal foundation models and agentic applications.

Responsibilities

You will be part of a team of engineers and scientists within Pi School's AI Research team, which works on several pieces of AI technology.

In this role, you will:

• work with data, compute and algorithms
• design of deep learning multimodal neural architectures
• design experiments, implement them in code, run them on large (GPU on HPC) compute, run evaluations
• monitor and benchmark the state of the art
• have the opportunity to give guidance to more junior team members such as PhD students and interns
• coordinate with our partners on our research roadmap
• adapt the project's pace to the rapid scientific development in our field
• organize publications and open-sourcing efforts

Requirements

• Completed PhD or 4 years of industry research experience in a relevant field of deep learning, machine learning, or applied (preferably language, clinical medicine, robotics, vision, audio) experience guiding junior researchers, defining a research project and conducting experiments
• Ability to design and run experiments methodically, analyse results, and iterate quickly
• Strong communication skills and proficiency in English
• Experience documenting technical work and research findings

Technical Skills

• Excellent programming skills in Python
• Proficiency in deep learning frameworks (PyTorch or Tensorflow)
• Experience in Linux/Unix environments
• Hands-on experience with transformer architectures and the HuggingFace ecosystem
• Experience training and fine-tuning language models using libraries like LlamaFactory, Axolotl, Unsloth, or similar
• Familiarity with at least one modality deeply (language, vision, or audio)
• Ability to translate AI research papers into practical implementations
• Experience using version control (Git), experiment tracking tools (e.g. MLflow)
• Hands-on experience running GPU experiments (HPC or cloud: AWS, GCP, RunPod, Lambda Labs)

Bonus points if

• You're strong in GPU training and inference optimization
• You're a polyglot
• You have open-source contributions
• You have published at tier-1 ML/AI conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, CVPR, ICCV
