Job description

We Are Hiring: Machine Learning Engineer / Data Scientist (GenAI & LLM)

We are currently hiring for a major enterprise client that is building next-generation AI-powered translation solutions used on a global scale. This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing team focused on leveraging Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), NLP, and Computer Vision to automate the translation of text, image, and video content across 130+ languages and locales.

If you have hands-on experience fine-tuning LLMs, building production-grade machine learning solutions, and solving complex NLP challenges, we'd love to hear from you.

Project Overview

Our client is developing a highly scalable AI-driven translation platform capable of processing millions of content assets daily with minimal human intervention. The platform analyzes text, images, and videos to identify translation opportunities, extract content using OCR and computer vision technologies, generate high-quality translations, and seamlessly render translated content back into its original format.

The team operates with a start-up mindset and is focused on building innovative GenAI solutions from the ground up. This role offers the opportunity to work on large-scale machine learning systems that directly impact global users and support multilingual experiences across more than 130 locales.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy scalable Machine Learning and Generative AI solutions for multilingual translation services.
• Evaluate, fine-tune, and optimize Large Language Models (LLMs) and NLP models for production environments.
• Build intelligent systems capable of identifying translation opportunities across text, image, and video content.
• Develop and enhance OCR and Computer Vision models for text extraction, text detection, and content understanding.
• Select the most appropriate foundation models based on performance, latency, scalability, and business requirements.
