• Stay current with the latest research and incorporate state-of-the-art techniques
• Document methodologies, experiments, and findings for both technical and non-technical audiences

Required Qualifications

• PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, AI, or a related field (completed within the last year)
• Strong understanding of deep learning architectures, particularly transformer-based models
• Experience with OCR systems and techniques for improving text recognition accuracy
• Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, Tensor Flow, or JAX)
• Demonstrated ability to implement and adapt research papers into working code
• Excellent problem-solving skills with a methodical approach to experimentation
• Strong communication skills to explain complex technical concepts clearly

Preferred Qualifications

• Research focus during PhD in areas relevant to our work (NLP, computer vision, multimodal learning)
• Familiarity with distributed training systems for large-scale models
• Experience with model quantization, pruning, and other efficiency techniques
• Understanding of evaluation methodologies for assessing model performance
• Knowledge of MLOps practices and tools for model deployment
• Publications at top-tier ML conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ACL, CVPR, etc.)

What We Offer

• Ideal transition from academic research to industry application
• Structured onboarding program designed specifically for recent PhD graduates
• Opportunity to work on frontier AI models with real-world impact
• Access to significant computing resources for ambitious research
