Job description

Key Responsibilities (Job Scope)

1. AI Model Research & Development

• Design, build, train, and evaluate end-to-end Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Generative AI models.

• Translate complex business requirements into viable machine learning and statistical modeling tasks.

• Benchmark, optimize, and fine-tune open-source and proprietary models (e.g., LLMs, Computer Vision, NLP frameworks).

2. Cloud AI & MLOps Infrastructure (Huawei Cloud Focus)

• Architect, configure, and maintain scalable cloud AI infrastructure with specialized expertise in Huawei Cloud AI/ML services (e.g., ModelArts, Cloud Container Engine).

• Establish automated MLOps pipelines for model deployment, monitoring, CI/CD, and retraining in production environments across hybrid or cloud setups.

• Ensure data pipelines, feature stores, and high-performance model inference workflows operate efficiently with minimal latency.

3. Cross-Border Collaboration & Technical Communication

• Serve as the technical bridge between local business/product teams and technical teams in China, conducting frequent technical exchanges and project alignment.

• Translate architectural designs, model requirements, and project specifications seamlessly across cross-border engineering teams.

4.

Data Engineering & Governance

• Collaborate with data engineering teams to preprocess, clean, and structure high-volume, structured/unstructured datasets.

• Implement data privacy, security, and governance standards aligned with Singapore’s PDPA, cross-border data transfer regulations, and ethical AI practices.

Job Requirements

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Applied Mathematics, or a related quantitative discipline.
