About this role

You will be responsible for designing and implementing solutions using cutting-edge technologies like large language models (LLMs) that are either hosted on premises or accessed through an API, our vector-based semantic search system, and of course neural networks either trained from scratch or fine-tuned using pre-trained models.

\n
• Specifically, you'll immediately start working on building products that involve language technologies relying heavily on LLMs hosted by major providers and using vector-based semantic search techniques
\n
• Contribute to a team culture that values openness, quality, robustness, and scalability while fostering innovation.
\n

What you’ll have

\n
• Strong knowledge of algorithms and data structures
\n
• Strong knowledge of machine learning lifecycle and hands-on experience on a variety of fundamental methods
\n
• Strong experience with deep learning and large language models
\n
• Experience with prompting techniques involving LLMs

\n
• Experience with big data storage and processing frameworks such as Hadoop, Hive, and Spark
\n

We understand that not everyone will match each of the above qualifications. However, we also realize that everyone has unique experiences that can add value to our company. Even if you think your background might not perfectly align, we'd love to hear from you!
