Job Description

Research Scientist – Core AI - Lead

Locations:

Experience : 10+ years


What you’ll do

  • Invent

    new methods in

    deep learning/foundation models

    (architectures, training objectives, optimization, alignment, evaluation).
  • Own the

    research cycle

    end-to-end: literature review → hypothesis → method design → experiments &

    ablations

    → paper →

    open-source

    artifacts → transfer to product teams.
  • Build rigorous

    evaluation

    : benchmarks, baselines, statistical tests, reproducibility (seeds, configs, logs).
  • Collaborate with engineers to scale training & inference (distributed training, profiling, efficiency).


Must-have (strict)

  • PhD (preferred) or MS (Research) in AI/ML/CS


  • First-author, peer-reviewed papers proposing new models/algorithms/objectives in top venues (NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR/ACL/EMNLP/TMLR/JMLR) within the last 3–4 years.


  • Demonstrated from-scratch development for tabular/structured problems: e.g., novel sequence/tabular transformers, time-series objectives, structure-aware pretraining, new loss/regularizers, or agentic reasoning/evaluation methods beyond RAG/prompting.


  • Strong math & systems: linear algebra, probability, optimization; PyTorch or JAX, distributed training, experiment tracking; clean research code and ablation hygiene.


Agentic AI (required exposure)

  • Research experience with

    agentic systems

    (single or multi-agent) covering

    planning, tool-calling, self-critique/evaluators, safety/guardrails

    , or

    learning-to-reason

    —with

    novelty

    beyond wiring APIs.
  • Evidence of

    method contributions

    (e.g., new planner/objective, coordination mechanism, evaluator metric) on

    structured/tabular

    tasks.


Nice to have

  • Work on

    efficiency

    (flash-attn, quantization, LoRA/QLoRA, distillation),

    alignment

    (RLHF/DPO/ORPO), or

    multimodal

    (vision-language/audio).
  • Experience designing

    scaling laws

    , data curriculum, or

    safety/robustness

    evaluations.


not

  • Computer-vision-heavy

    profiles (image/video-centric portfolios).
  • Roles limited to

    prompting/RAG/agent wiring

    without novel methods or first-author papers.
  • Only application/survey papers;

    no code or ablations

    to reproduce claims.
