• Proficiency in Python with a good grasp of PyTorch or other deep learning frameworks;
• Strong foundation in statistics and familiarity with common ML algorithms. In-depth understanding of neural networks;
• Proven interest in the latest developments in generative AI, natural language processing or computer vision – through related experience or side projects.

GREAT ADVANTAGE WILL BE:

• Previous hands-on experience in computer vision with traditional algorithms or the latest models;
• Deep understanding of recent NN architectures, transformers, diffusion models, attention mechanisms, etc;
• Hands-on experience in training or fine-tuning large language models or diffusion models;
• Professional experience with managing ML models in production;
• Knowledge of data science libraries in Python such as NumPy and Pandas;
• Professional web development experience in Python;
• PhD in a related field.

WHAT WE OFFER: 

• Working on in-house built products, using the latest technologies;
• Competitive salary with achievement bonus;
