• Multi-modal Information Extraction: Uncover key insights from diverse data formats like text, tables, and charts.
• Term Disambiguation: Identify semantically equivalent financial terms expressed in different ways.
• Financial Machine Translation: Translate financial statements across languages with high fidelity.
• Collaborate with software engineers, data scientists, and finance experts to scope projects and integrate models into production environments.
• Build robust data pipelines for preprocessing, model training, evaluation, and deployment.
• Conduct rigorous experimentation and benchmarking to ensure model accuracy and reliability.
• Monitor and maintain live ML systems, proactively addressing performance issues.
• Contribute to innovation by staying up to date with emerging AI/ML research and sharing knowledge across the team.

What We’re Looking For

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or related field—or equivalent industry experience.
• Strong programming skills in Python and experience with Git and version control workflows.
• Solid grasp of machine learning and deep learning fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience with Natural Language Processing, including:
• Text preprocessing, regex, tokenization, stemming, lemmatization
• Transformer models and large language models (LLMs)
• Familiarity with Computer Vision and basic image processing techniques.
• Proficient with ML libraries and frameworks such as PyTorch, HuggingFace, OpenCV, scikit-learn, NumPy, spaCy, NLTK.
• Ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills and experience managing multiple projects independently.
• Experience in ML research in areas like representation learning, information retrieval, or object detection.
• Self-motivated with a passion for continuous learning and innovation in AI.

Bonus Skills

• Experience with Django or backend development.
• Exposure to LLMs, vector databases, and frameworks like LangChain.
• Familiarity with deploying NLP/ML models on cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
