- Run comprehensive benchmarking and evaluation frameworks aimed at improving model performance, latency, and cost efficiency across multiple use cases.
- Fine-tune and train large language models to ensure reliability in production environments, particularly for incident management applications.
- Research and experiment with advanced methodologies such as Reinforcement Learning, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, and autonomous reasoning to push the boundaries of current AI capabilities.
- Translate research breakthroughs into scalable features that directly impact customers as a key contributor within the engineering team.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to integrate new AI features into existing products while maintaining high standards of quality and reliability.
- Monitor system performance post-deployment to identify areas for improvement and implement enhancements based on user feedback.
- Document processes thoroughly to support knowledge sharing within the team and facilitate onboarding of new members.
- Participate actively in regular team meetings to discuss progress, share insights from experiments, and contribute ideas for future product directions.
What you bring:
Your proven track record as a Machine Learning Research Engineer will be evident through your hands-on experience with large language models—whether it’s fine-tuning GPT-4 or optimising Llama for specific use cases. You bring strong programming abilities in Python or Go alongside familiarity with distributed systems that underpin modern cloud infrastructure. Your expertise extends into data engineering where you’ve designed robust pipelines capable of handling vast amounts of structured and unstructured information. A solid grasp of machine learning theory enables you to experiment confidently with advanced methods like Transformers or self-supervised learning. Beyond technical skills, your ability to connect empathetically with teammates ensures effective collaboration while your commitment to continuous improvement keeps you at the forefront of industry developments. You thrive in environments that value knowledge sharing and communal achievement—making you an ideal fit for this supportive organisation.
- Demonstrated deep experience working hands-on with large language models such as GPT-4, Llama, Gemini or similar foundation models including fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and model optimisation.
- Proven software engineering skills in Python, Go or C++, ideally with exposure to distributed systems or cloud infrastructure environments.
- Expertise in data engineering encompassing large-scale pipeline design, embeddings creation, vector database management or search system implementation.
- Solid understanding of machine learning fundamentals including Transformers architecture, deep learning principles and self-supervised learning techniques.
- Ability to collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams while communicating complex technical concepts clearly to non-specialist stakeholders.
- Commitment to continuous learning demonstrated by staying up-to-date with emerging trends in reinforcement learning frameworks (RLHF/RLCEF) or multi-agent AI architectures.
- Experience building or researching Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems is highly desirable for this role.
- Strong interpersonal skills enabling you to foster positive relationships within an inclusive team setting focused on shared success.
- A responsible approach towards project delivery ensuring reliability and scalability of deployed AI solutions for enterprise clients.
- Enthusiasm for nurturing others through knowledge sharing sessions or mentoring junior engineers as part of communal growth.
