  • Advanced NLP & Vision: Spearhead research into Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision to enhance our product suite and user experience.
  • Code Review & Mentorship: Provide technical leadership, conduct rigorous code reviews, and mentor junior engineers to maintain high engineering standards.
  • Collaborate with Cross-Functional Teams: Partner with product managers, data scientists, and designers to deliver end-to-end AI solutions.
  • Optimize Infrastructure: Ensure AI models run efficiently on cloud infrastructure, focusing on latency, throughput, and cost optimization.

Qualifications

  • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field; PhD is a plus.
  • Experience: 10+ years of experience in software engineering and machine learning, with at least 5 years in a lead or principal engineering role.
