Role Description
We are seeking an AI Research Engineer to improve the performance and reliability of our conversational AI assistant.
The role focuses on advancing LLM capabilities including reasoning, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), fine-tuning, and structured outputs.
You will research, experiment, and implement improvements that directl...y impact production AI systems.
Responsiblities
• Research and evaluate techniques to improve LLM reasoning, accuracy, and efficiency
• Design and run experiments with baselines, ablations, and statistical analysis
• Build evaluation frameworks and benchmarks for model performance across key tasks
• Improve RAG pipelines including embedding models, chunking strategies, re-ranking, and context optimization
• Explore fine-tuning methods such as LoRA, RLHF, and DPO for domain-specific models
• Identify and reduce failure modes such as hallucination, instruction drift, and reasoning errors
• Prototype advanced techniques like chain-of-thought reasoning, tool use, and multi-agent coordination
• Translate research insights into production-ready improvements and technical documentation
Qualification
• 4–5 years of experience in AI/ML research or applied AI engineering
• Strong understanding of LLM architectures, training dynamics, and inference optimization
• Hands-on experience with fine-tuning methods such as LoRA, RLHF, or DPO
• Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as PyTorch and HuggingFace
Must Have
• Experience building and evaluating LLM-based systems
• Strong knowledge of RAG pipelines, embeddings, and retrieval systems
• Experience designing reproducible experiments and evaluation benchmarks
• Ability to analyze model performance and implement improvements
Nice to have
• Published research in NLP, LLMs, or information retrieval
• Experience with Gemini, Claude, GPT, or similar model APIs
• Experience building automated evaluation and benchmarking systems
• Familiarity with model optimization techniques such as distillation or quantization
• Experience with agentic AI frameworks such as LangGraph or similar orchestration systems
