Senior AI/ML Researcher (Contract)

*1 year initial contract*

This role can be performed remotely from EU.

We are excited to be partnering with a leading technology giant who are looking for AI/ML Researcher to work with their AI research team.

Responsibilities:

• Contributing to the development of new approaches to automate data management using generative AI, models, reinforcement learning, and machine learning theory.
• Proposing and developing advanced AI/ML models to address real-world data management and governance issues.
• Translating mathematical problem definitions and model/solution specifications into efficient executable code
• Keeping track of the latest progress in the (selected) AI/ML areas: generative AI, generative models, diffusion models, reinforcement learning, generative agents, large language models, optimisation and machine learning theory
• Contribute to rapid and iterative development of validated software prototypes based on AI technologies, and benchmark alternative solutions
• Opportunity for publishing or contributing to the publishing of research papers in top-tier AI/ML venues

Requirements:

• A strong research background, either a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Communications, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field; or a master's degree.
• 2+ years of industrial or post-doctoral research experience in Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning.
• Strong practical experience with Machine Learning (i.e., Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, Decision Trees, Ensemble models, Clustering, Association relationship mining, Bayesian Networks).
• Hands-on experience with building, hyper-parameter fine-tuning, and incrementally training neural networks for time-series and graph-structured data.
• Experience with data-centric AI methods (i.e. Drift Detection, Data Augmentation, Data Balancing, Outlier Removal) for systematic engineering of training data prior to model induction is a great plus.
• Experience with agent-based autonomous systems (i.e. Multi-Agent Systems) is a great plus.
