Research Engineer, Strategic Initiatives, Multimedia

As a Research Engineer in Strategic Initiatives, you will use your machine learning expertise to collaborate with domain experts and other machine learning scientists within our Strategic Initiatives programs. Domains may include, but are not limited to, GenAI pre-training, post-training and inference across modalities, and the trustworthiness of data.

Key responsibilities:

• Engage with existing research efforts in the Strategic Initiatives Program to solve key challenges using your broad machine learning experience.
• Collaborate with researchers and machine learning engineers to identify and develop novel machine learning approaches to solve meaningful strategic problems.
• Engage with product teams to drive the deployment of our research.
• Report and present research findings and developments (including status and results) clearly and efficiently both internally and externally, verbally and in writing.
• Suggest and engage in team collaborations to meet research goals for the wider Science programme.

• MSc/Bachelor in Computer Science, or ML practical experience
• Experience with GenAI models for text or multimodal (image, audio, video) across the training and inference lifecycle
• Experience with embeddings and autoraters
• Quantitative skills in maths and statistics.
• Programming experience across common scripting languages and pipelining tools.
• A real passion for AI!

• PhD demonstrating significant advances in machine learning
• Experience in robust and large-scale deployment and inference of those models
• Demonstrated success in delivering high quality research impact.
