• Develop and maintain knowledge graphs and embeddings for semantic search and reasoning.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to deploy scalable AI solutions in production environments.
• Conduct experiments and evaluations to benchmark model performance and ensure robustness.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest research in NLP, graph neural networks, and LLM architectures.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in applied machine learning or NLP.
• Hands-on experience with LLM fine-tuning using frameworks like Hugging Face Transformers, DeepSpeed, or LoRA.
• Strong understanding of graph databases (e.g., Neo4j, RDF, DGL) and knowledge graph construction.
• Proficiency in Python and ML libraries (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn).
