  • 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, TensorFlow, 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
  • Collaborative environment with other top AI researchers and engineers
