AI Engineer

📍 Location: Paris (Hybrid or On-site)

💼 Employment type: Full-time

🧠 Focus: Vision-Language Models, Generative AI, NVIDIA GPU Optimization

TowardsChange is an international consulting and venture studio specializing in artificial intelligence, SaaS, data, and digital transformation. We partner with organizations to accelerate their AI adoption and modernization, while also incubating innovative internal projects into high-potential startups.

We’re looking for a talented AI Engineer with expertise in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and NVIDIA technologies to join our Paris team. This role bridges R&D, applied AI, and innovation, contributing to both client engagements and in-house product initiatives.

As part of our AI practice, you’ll design, train, and optimize multimodal AI systems that combine computer vision and natural language understanding, leveraging NVIDIA GPUs and state-of-the-art deep learning frameworks.

Key responsibilities:

• AI Model Development: Design, fine-tune, and evaluate Vision-Language Models (e.g. CLIP, BLIP, LLaVA, Kosmos, Gemini-style models).
• GPU Acceleration & Optimization: Implement training and inference pipelines optimized for NVIDIA platforms (CUDA, TensorRT, NeMo, DGX).
• AI Agent Integration: Develop and deploy AI agents using external or internal inference APIs for applied use cases.
• Data & Evaluation: Build multimodal datasets, conduct benchmarking, and drive continuous performance improvements.
• Research & Thought Leadership: Stay ahead of emerging trends in Generative AI, multimodal learning, and agentic architectures.
• Collaboration: Work closely with data scientists, engineers, and product managers within our venture studio ecosystem.

• Master’s degree (or PhD) in Machine Learning, AI, Computer Vision, or related technical field — from a Grande École or top-tier university preferred.
• 3–6+ years of professional experience in AI R&D, applied deep learning, or machine learning engineering.
• Proficiency in Python, PyTorch, and modern AI toolkits (Transformers, Diffusers, Hugging Face).
• Hands-on experience with NVIDIA technologies (CUDA, TensorRT, NeMo) and GPU-based training pipelines.
• Demonstrated ability to deploy AI agents using inference APIs (academic, research, or production context).
• Fluent in French and English, with strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Curious, rigorous, and entrepreneurial — comfortable working in a fast-moving innovation environment.

• Join a high-impact AI venture studio at the crossroads of consulting, R&D, and startup incubation.
• Work with state-of-the-art NVIDIA infrastructure (DGX, TensorRT, NeMo).
• Opportunity to lead applied AI projects in Vision-Language and Generative AI.
• Exposure to international clients, founders, and researchers.
• Dynamic, hybrid environment in central Paris with opportunities for growth and leadership.
