Responsibilities:

• Architect and build ML systems for complex narrative analysis.
• Quantitatively improve key NLP models, designing and/or integrating new models.
• Effectively leverage cloud infrastructure for training and serving.
• Keep a finger on the pulse of SOTA for key topics.
• Present results internally and possibly at external conferences.
• Optimize ML systems for cost, latency, and quality.
• Facilitate the deployment of results in demos.

• Sophisticated experimental NLP background in academic or industrial research.
• 5+ experience programming.
• Fluent in Python and C++ (or Unreal C++).
• Intellectually curious, ambitious, open-minded, and proactive.
• Capable of taking high-level goals, making a plan, driving it forward, and being accountable for the results.

Nice to Haves:
