Job Summary

Conduct AI research and experimentation by identifying meaningful problems, reproducing and extending ideas from recent papers, and formulating hypotheses for novel algorithms and architectures. Build experimental prototypes to validate research, perform rigorous evaluations including ablation studies, and analyze results to improve model accuracy, efficiency, and robustness. Translate promising research into practical AI capabilities by collaborating with engineering and product teams to transition prototypes into production. Publish findings in high-quality journals and conferences while presenting insights to internal and external technical audiences. Maintain deep expertise in one AI/ML domain such as Generative AI, Computer Vision, or Reinforcement Learning to drive interdisciplinary problem-solving.

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 3 peer-reviewed research publications in Q1 journals and/or A conferences, through any qualifying combination.
  • The publications must represent substantive research contributions in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Science, or a closely related field.
  • Candidates will be evaluated primarily on the quality, relevance, originality, and depth of their research contributions.

  • Evaluate open-source and proprietary models for specific applications.
  • Develop techniques to improve factuality, reasoning, robustness, and reliability.
  • Research computer vision and visual representation learning techniques.
  • Explore image understanding, detection, segmentation, classification, generation, and visual reasoning.
  • Research vision-language and multimodal foundation models.
  • Develop multimodal retrieval, reasoning, and generation systems.
  • Explore image, video, and cross-modal understanding.
  • Build datasets and experimental pipelines for model training, fine-tuning, and evaluation.
  • Design appropriate benchmarks, metrics, and evaluation methodologies for your research domain.
  • Perform quantitative and qualitative analysis of model performance.
  • Conduct error analysis and investigate model failure modes.
  • Perform ablation studies and controlled experiments.
  • Compare approaches across relevant quality, computational, latency, scalability, and efficiency metrics.
  • Develop reproducible research and evaluation pipelines.
  • Translate research concepts into practical AI capabilities and prototypes.
  • Research intelligent systems for problems such as search, recommendation, prediction, classification, reasoning, optimization, perception, and decision-making.
  • Develop domain-specific AI systems.
  • Identify promising academic research and evaluate its applicability to real-world problems.
  • Collaborate with AI Engineering, Software Engineering, Product, and Platform teams to transition successful research prototypes into production.
  • Investigate AI robustness, reliability, interpretability, and explainability.
  • Evaluate models for failure modes, hallucinations, bias, adversarial behavior, and other risks.
  • Develop appropriate evaluation methodologies and guardrails.
  • Research methods for improving model transparency and reliability.
  • Contribute to responsible AI research practices.
  • Identify novel and impactful research problems.
  • Develop research hypotheses and novel approaches.
  • Publish research in high-quality journals and conferences.
  • Present research findings to internal and external technical audiences.
  • Track developments from leading AI research labs, conferences, journals, and open-source communities.
  • Contribute to research publications, patents, technical reports, and open-source projects where applicable.
  • Research Problem → Hypothesis → Novel Approach → Implementation → Rigorous Experimentation → Evaluation → Publication → Practical Impact
  • The successful candidate does not need to be an expert in every area of AI.
  • We are looking for strong researchers with deep expertise in a particular AI/ML domain who can contribute to a broader AI research organization, collaborate across disciplines, and learn adjacent technologies when required.
