A hands-on builder who enjoys training models, running experiments, debugging pipelines, and integrating ML systems into production while staying grounded in product impact and real-world quality. Strong coding and experimentation skills (Python, PyTorch/JAX/Tensorflow), and the ability to communicate clearly and align research with product and engineering priorities. Ability to lead complex research efforts, to communicate clearly and collaborate across teams, while staying grounded in product impact, user experience, and real-world performance. Nice to have Experience with machine translation, multilingual NLP, efficient long-context modeling, language quality estimation, or multimodal machine translation. Experience designing evaluation and reward signals using automatic metrics, Model-as-judge evaluation, non-verifiable rewards, and human-in-the-loop evaluation. Experience with multi-objective optimization, consistency models, unified multimodal generation. Experience with diffusion models. Publications at top-tier venues.
