Job Description

Our Products Team is growing, and we're looking for a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer, AI/ML, to join our AI/PL platform team. In this role, you will play a key part in designing, developing, and deploying advanced AI models focused on content generation, natural language understanding, and creative data synthesis. You will work alongside a team of data scientists, software engineers, and AI researchers to build systems that push the boundaries of what generative AI can achieve.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and Build ML Models: Develop and implement advanced machine learning models (including deep learning architectures) for generative tasks, such as text generation, image synthesis, and other creative AI applications.
• Optimize Generative AI Models: Enhance the performance of models like GPT, V AEs, GANs, and Transformer architectures for content generation, making them faster, more efficient, and scalable.
• Data Preparation and Management: Preprocess large datasets, handle data augmentation, and create synthetic data to train generative models, ensuring high-quality inputs for model training.
• Model Training and Fine-tuning: Train large-scale generative models and fine-tune pre-trained models (e.g., GPT, BERT, DALL-E) for specific use cases, using techniques like transfer learning, prompt engineering, and reinforcement learning.
• Performance Evaluation: Evaluate models’ performance using various metrics (accuracy, perplexity, FID, BLEU, etc.), and iterate on the model design to achieve better outcomes.
• Collaboration with Research and Engineering Teams: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including AI researchers, data scientists, and software developers, to integrate ML models into production systems.
• Experimentation and Prototypin...
