• Technical Execution: Own the end-to-end development of high-performance systems that drive algorithmic innovation and resolve high-impact technical bottlenecks.
• Collaboration & Integration: Work closely with cross-functional teams to integrate content signals into production recommendation and discovery pipelines.
• Scalability & Performance: Ensure models are not only accurate but also optimized for low-latency inference and high-concurrency production environments.
Basic Qualifications
• Education: Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, or a related quantitative field.
• Experience: 5–8+ years of professional experience in AI/ML research or advanced engineering (industry experience preferred).
• Technical Depth: Strong hands-on experience in at least two of the following:
Multimodal Learning: Integration of video, text, image, and audio signals.
Computer Vision: Video understanding, temporal modeling, or representation learning.
NLP: Semantic modeling, content quality assessment, or news stream analysis.
• Frameworks: Expert proficiency in PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
• MLLM/VLM Expertise: Practical experience working with or fine-tuning Multimodal Large Language Models.
• Production Skills: Proven track record of deploying large-scale AI models in production environments.
Preferred Qualifications
Track Record: Contributions to high-impact projects or publications in top-tier conferences (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS).
System Design: Experience building automated content tagging or recommendation signals from the ground up.
Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with Digital Signal Processing for audio or aesthetic evaluation for images/video.
