Job Description

Key job responsibilities

As a Sr. Applied Scientist, you will be mapping business problems to high-impact solutions with focus on language models. You will turn theoretically sound ML/AI methods into practically applicable models designed for processing massive volumes of data in large-scale environments. You will define business-relevant solutions implemented as end-to-end ML/AI functions that integrate with our partners' production systems. You dive deep into all aspects of the practical machine learning development cycle, encompassing sound use of data pre-processing techniques, analysis, modelling, and validation methods. You master the complex theory under the hood of machine learning and you keep up to date with the latest scientific development in information processing, modelling, and learning methods. You take lead of the scientific and technical work in cross-team collaborations with the ultimate objective of creating a delightful experience for our customers using our solutions.

A day in the life

In a fast-paced innovation environment, you work together with our scientists and ML-engineers. You develop and deploy experiments and models at scale. You develop science initiatives with long-term impact on the business.
