Research Engineer

Position : NLP Research Engineer

Location : On-site, HSR Layout, Benagluru.

Type : Full Time

About the Role :

We are seeking a driven NLP Research Engineer with 2–3 years of hands-on experience in model development and prototyping. In this R&D-focused role, you will explore and implement state-of-the-art LLM architectures, prompt engineering strategies, and LLM training techniques tailored to healthcare and oncology text. Your primary responsibility is to drive proof-of-concepts—from rapid iterations to rigorous experimental evaluations on clinical-text tasks. While our production teams will help with deployment, you’ll collaborate closely to hand off scalable prototypes that demonstrate clear performance gains.

What We Expect You to Bring :

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, AI / ML, or a related field
• 2–3 years of professional R&D experience in NLP or ML research roles
• Strong Python skills and deep familiarity with PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Proficiency in working with NLP frameworks (e.g., spaCy, NLTK, HuggingFace Transformers, LangChain, vectorDBs, etc), deep learning libraries (e.g., PyTorch), and common data preprocessing techniques.
• Expertise in prompt engineering, few-shot learning, and fine-tuning for domain-specific tasks
• Familiarity with building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with LLM fine-tuning using LoRA and SFT methods
• Solid understanding of experimental design, ablation studies, and statistical significance testing
• Familiarity with clinical or biomedical NLP is a plus
• If you have worked with Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), that’s a plus
• Excellent communication skills for sharing insights in seminars, whitepapers, or publications
