AI Research & Model Development

  • Continuously track latest AI research , model architectures, and open-source innovations (LLMs, vision models, multimodal systems).
  • Conduct deep technical analysis of foundation models — transformer internals, embeddings, retrieval architectures, diffusion, etc.
  • Build and fine-tune custom AI models for tasks such as language understanding, summarization, transcription, classification, and reasoning.
  • Experiment with emerging architectures (Mixture of Experts, RAG, GraphRAG, multi-agent systems) to enhance accuracy and adaptability.
  • Develop evaluation frameworks for model performance, fairness, and interpretability.

    • Productization & Innovation

  • Work with engineering teams to translate research prototypes into market-ready products .
  • Define technical strategy and architecture for AI-driven product lines.
  • Contribute to internal IP creation — model enhancements, pre-training pipelines, or domain-specific datasets.
  • Lead feasibility assessments for model-hosting infrastructure, inference optimization, and deployment scalability.

    • Thought Leadership & Continuous Learning

  • Stay ahead of global AI trends by following leading research labs, open-source communities, and academic breakthroughs.
  • Produce internal whitepapers, presentations, and tech briefs summarizing emerging technologies.
  • Represent the organization in conferences, panels, and AI research forums.
  • Mentor junior researchers and engineers in AI methodologies and experimentation.

    • Strategic Collaboration & Solutioning

  • Experience with Python , PyTorch , TensorFlow , Hugging Face , and LangChain ecosystems.
  • Hands-on experience with model training, fine-tuning, and evaluation .
  • Ability to read and interpret AI research papers , reproduce experiments, and assess feasibility.
  • Understanding of LLM internals (tokenization, attention, context windows, embeddings, quantization).
  • Strong analytical skills to connect technical innovation with business value .
  • Excellent written and verbal communication for presenting research and influencing stakeholders.

    • Nice to Have -

  • Experience building domain-specific AI models (e.g., financial document analysis, claims automation, customer service bots).
  • Exposure to retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) , graph-based reasoning , or multi-agent orchestration .
  • Background in data curation , synthetic data generation , or evaluation pipelines .
  • Familiarity with AWS Sagemaker , Vertex AI , or custom training environments .
  • Published research or contributions to open-source AI projects.

    • Soft Skills -

  • Strong curiosity and comfort with ambiguous, open-ended problems .
  • Strategic mindset — can balance research creativity with product pragmatism.
