The Applied ML Research Engineer will join the ML team to turn raw enterprise data into structured knowledge graphs and embeddings, while prototyping new algorithms and improving model performance. Responsibilities: • Prototype and refine models for extracting structured knowledge from text • Apply knowledge distillation techniques to compress and optimize LLMs for downstream tasks • Explore the use of reinforcement learning and feedback loops for improving model behavior • Build evaluation pipelines for entity linking, retrieval, and semantic consistency • Develop new algorithms and data structures to improve extraction, tagging and resolution. • Read, implement, and build upon recent research in LLM alignment, distillation, and symbolic grounding • Collaborate closely with infra and data engineers to scale your research into production-ready components Qualifications: Required: • 2–4 years experience (research lab, internship, academic project, or early industry role) working in ML or NLP • Strong fundamentals turning research papers, algorithms and mathematics into working code • Exposure to knowledge distillation, RLHF, or curriculum learning techniques • Strong Python skills and familiarity with ML frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow • Experience with language models and transformers (e.g., BERT, LLaMA, or similar) • Solid understanding of ML fundamentals: training pipelines, loss functions, evaluation metrics • A collaborative mindset and willingness to work across research and engineering teams Preferred: • Familiarity with reinforcement learning, including policy optimization or reward modeling • Familiarity with using and scaling algorithms to manipulate data, including graph algorithms, text-manipulation, embeddings. • Experience with semantic representations such as knowledge graphs or entity embeddings • Comfort working with tools like HuggingFace Transformers, Ray, or vLLM • Understanding of small-model techniques (pruning, quantization, adapter layers) • Interest in the LLM ecosystem and techniques for model alignment or prompt tuning • Prior contributions to open-source projects or academic publications in ML/NLP Company: Founded in , the company is headquartered in , with a team of 2-10 employees.
