About the role
Your primary responsibility is to architect, design, and implement state-of-the-art Generative AI models (auto-regressive, diffusion, Discrete Diffusion, Hybrid SSM etc.) and port these models to any hardware platform. You will also leverage your expertise to train, fine-tune, and optimize models that impact Large Language Models (LLMs) (Multimodal & Multilingual), ensuring they are optimal in terms of accuracy, naturalness, and performance.
Responsibilities
- Develop and deploy LLM/MLLMs in various languages.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including AI scientists, software engineers, and domain experts to develop customized solutions.
- Integrate the power of LLMs/MLLMs into existing applications to ensure optimal performance and speed on resource-constrained platforms.
- Stay updated with the latest advancements in Generative AI, Conversational AI, and language modeling, and incorporate new techniques, technologies, and best practices to enhance system performance.
Requirements
- Extensive experience and demonstrated mastery in developing LLM/MLLMs.
- Well-versed with commercial deployments, post-deployment support, and model profiling and optimization for production environments.
- Advanced degree (Ph.D. preferred) in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field.
- Exceptional programming skills in Python with a strong ability to implement complex machine learning algorithms.
- Proven track-record in developing conversational AI systems, particularly with diverse elements like acoustic models, language models, and pronunciation models.
- Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving capabilities, and a collaborative mindset.
