AI Specialist – Model Development & Research

Role Overview
The AI Specialist will focus on model development, experimentation, and applied research. This role is centered on exploring, prototyping, and fine-tuning AI models, particularly LLMs, and collaborating with AI Engineers to transition validated approaches into production systems.

Key Responsibilities

· Develop, train, and evaluate AI/ML models, with a strong emphasis on Large Language Models

· Work with open-source LLMs such as LLa MA, Mistral, and Falcon

· Design and build proofs of concept (POCs) to validate AI use cases and technical approaches

· Fine-tune models for domain-specific applications

· Conduct applied research on LLMs, RAG, and agentic systems

· Analyze model performance and propose improvements

· Stay up to date with advancements in AI and machine learning

· Collaborate with AI Engineers to support productionization efforts

Required Qualifications

· Master’s degree or Ph D in AI or machine learning

· Strong foundation in machine learning and deep learning

· Proficiency in Python and Py Torch (or Tensor Flow)

· Hands-on experience with transformer architectures and LLMs

· Experience with fine-tuning, embeddings, and model evaluation

· Ability to rapidly prototype and iterate on ideas

· Strong analytical and research skills

Preferred Qualifications

· Experience with model optimization techniques (quantization, pruning, distillation)

· Experience with embeddings, vector databases, and semantic search architectures

· Exposure to multimodal or vision-language models

· Background in industrial-scale or complex enterprise AI implementations
