You will be working in an R&D Team which reports to the VP of AI Innovation 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.

Responsibilities

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.
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.
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
Work closely with DevOps Engineers, software engineers, designers, and product managers to understand project requirements, align on technical solutions, and deliver high-quality generative AI solutions that meet business objectives and user needs.
Communicate technical strategies effectively across teams and manage stakeholder expectations.

Requirements

Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, with experience in software development and version control systems (e.g., Git).
Hands-on experience with Huggingface APIs or Amazon Bedrock. Experience with both is preferred.
Expert skills of PyTorch, TensorFlow, Pandas, etc.
Experience with cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure
Excellent problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts effectively and work cross-functionally with diverse teams.
