Applied Scientist
Seattle, Washington
Our mission is to create best-in-class AI agents that seamlessly integrate multimodal inputs like speech, images, and video, enabling natural, empathetic, and adaptive interactions. We develop cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) that leverage advanced architectures, cross-modal learning, interpretability, and responsible AI techniques to provide coherent, context-aware responses augmented by real-time knowledge retrieval.
We seek a talented Applied Scientist with expertise in LLMs, speech, audio, NLP, or multimodal learning to pioneer innovations in data simulation, representation, model pre-training/fine-tuning, generation, reasoning, retrieval, and evaluation. The ideal candidate will build scalable solutions for a variety of applications, such as streaming real-time conversational experiences, including multilingual support, talking avatar interactions, customizable personalities, and conversational turn-taking. With a passion for pushing boundaries and rapid experimentation, you'll deliver high-impact solutions from research to customer-facing products and services.
Key job responsibilities
As an Applied Scientist, you'll leverage your expertise to research novel algorithms and modeling techniques to develop data simulation approaches mimicking real-world interactions with a focus on the speech modality. You'll acquire and curate large, diverse datasets while ensuring privacy, creating robust evaluation metrics and test sets to comprehensively assess LLM performance. Integrating human-in-the-loop feedback, you'll iterate on data selection, sampling, and enhancement techniques to improve the core model performance. Your innovations in data representation, model pre-training/fine-tuning on simulated and real-world datasets, and responsible AI practices will directly impact customers through new AI products and services.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 3+ years of building models for business application experience
- PhD, or Master's degree and 4+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience
- Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language
- Experience in any of the following areas: algorithms and data structures, parsing, numerical optimization, data mining, parallel and distributed computing, high-performance computing
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience in professional software development
- Experience with popular deep learning frameworks such as Pytorch, MxNet and Tensor Flow.
- Experience with large scale machine learning systems such as profiling, debugging / understanding of system performance and scalability
- Proficient in 2 of these areas: large language models, information retrieval, speech recognition, Computer Vision, and graph neural networks
