• Understand and experiment with architectures behind image, video, and other generative AI systems.

• Work with pretrained models and adapt them for specific product requirements.

• Explore techniques such as fine-tuning, transfer learning, LoRA, and other model optimization approaches.

• Stay updated with recent ML research and identify techniques that can improve our products.

ML Engineering & Deployment

• Build and maintain ML training and inference pipelines.

• Work with PyTorch and other machine learning frameworks to implement and optimize models.

• Assist in deploying models into production environments.

• Optimize inference latency, GPU utilization, and memory consumption.

• Collaborate with backend engineers to integrate ML models into scalable production systems.

• Write clean, modular, and maintainable Python code.

Research & Experimentation

• Read and understand relevant research papers and translate useful ideas into working implementations.

• Run experiments, analyze results, and document findings.

• Benchmark models against performance, quality, and efficiency metrics.

• Identify opportunities to improve existing models and ML workflows.
