AI Engineer - R&D to Production (Multi-Modal: Video, Text, Audio)

Job description

Experience

4-5+ Years

Employment Type

Full-Time

About The Opportunity

Flatgigs is hiring AI Engineers for a confidential R&D-focused AI lab working across video, text, and audio problem spaces.

This is not a typical "apply a model and ship" role.

This is a research‑driven environment where problems are not clearly defined, and solutions are not obvious. You will spend time exploring, experimenting..., failing, iterating, and eventually solving problems that don't have playbooks.

If you need structured tasks and predictable outputs—this role will frustrate you.

If you enjoy going deep into problems and figuring things out from first principles—this is where you'll thrive.

What You'll Work On

Solve complex AI problems across:

Video understanding and processing

Text-based AI / NLP systems

Audio processing (nice to have, not mandatory)

Design, experiment, and iterate on AI models and approaches

Work on problems that may not have clear starting points or predefined solutions

Explore multiple approaches before arriving at optimal solutions

Contribute to research‑driven experimentation and innovation

What We're Looking For

Core Requirement

4-5+ years of experience in AI / Machine Learning

Multi‑Modal Exposure (Important)

Experience across at least two of the following areas:

Video

Text (NLP / LLMs)

Audio (bonus)

👉 Candidates limited to only one vertical may struggle in this environment.

R&D Experience (Critical)

Prior experience working in research or experimentation‑heavy environments

Exposure to:

Prototyping

Testing hypotheses

Iterative experimentation

Experience contributing to:

Research initiatives

Internal innovation projects

Publications (nice to have, not mandatory)

Problem‑Solving Depth

Ability to go beyond "making things work" and instead:

Understand why something works or fails

Debug deeply at the model or system level

Explore multiple approaches before finalizing a solution

Ideal Candidate Profile

Curious by nature — asks "why" more than "what"

Comfortable working in uncertain, ambiguous problem spaces

Enjoys experimentation and is not discouraged by failure

Think in terms of systems, patterns, and root causes

Has a tinkerer mindset — explores beyond surface‑level fixes

What Success Looks Like

You are able to approach open‑ended problems without predefined solutions

You explore multiple directions instead of settling for the first working solution

You contribute to building deep understanding, not just outputs

You can work across different AI problem types without becoming a bottleneck

Nice to Have

Research papers, publications, or contributions to open‑source AI projects

Experience with:

Multi‑modal models

LLMs and advanced NLP

Computer vision systems

Audio processing systems

Why This Role

Work on open‑ended, high‑impact AI problems

Opportunity to explore across multiple AI domains

Be part of a true R&D environment, not just product delivery

Freedom to experiment, fail, and learn

Hiring Approach

This is an ongoing hiring effort, not tied to a fixed headcount

Quality matters more than speed or volume

Strong candidates are hired continuously as they are identified

Confidentiality Note

This opportunity is being managed by Flatgigs on behalf of a confidential client. Client details will be shared with shortlisted candidates during the hiring process.
