Job description

About the company

Our client is an artificial intelligence company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Carry out hands-on research on publicly available neural networks, testing methods for the early and refinement stages of learning, and build the measurement tools that confirm whether a change genuinely helps. The role takes a research question from first idea through to a working implementation, working closely with engineers who build production systems, and calls for a high degree of independence.

What you'll do

- Plan and carry out studies on publicly available neural networks, choosing the learning method that suits each question.

- Build systems that transform records of human work into material suitable for learning.

- Explore ways to represent workflows, context and decisions so that model performance improves.

- Create measures of output quality and dependability across lengthy, multi-step tasks.

- Set up repeatable experiment and training routines.

- Work alongside infrastructure engineers to move proven methods into live systems.

- Take a research question from first idea to a working result, owning each step.

- Investigate failed training runs and tell real gains apart from results that only look promising.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- 2 to 5 years of relevant experience.

- Practical, hands-on time with publicly available neural networks, including their foundational or refinement training phases.

- Coding proficiency proven by building research prototypes, learning infrastructure or repeatable test setups.

- Track record standing up data preparation flows for learning systems and gauging trained model quality.

- Experience designing studies independently and working out why training runs fail.

- Sound grasp of how data quality, parameter tuning, measurement and study design interact.

- Ability to turn research findings into measurable gains on extended tasks.

- Comfort working on-site five days per week.

Bonus points

- Prior work at an organization centered on applied AI is a plus.

- Work with models that learn from records of how people carry out tasks.

- Familiarity with making learning runs faster and cheaper, or with spreading computation across many machines.

- Shared research outputs or public code that others can use.

- Startup or entrepreneurial experience.
