    • Design and deploy state-of-the-art machine learning models, advancing our LLM capabilities through RAG, fine-tuning, and RLHF to drive marketing automation.
    • Collaborate cross-functionally with product and engineering teams to integrate AI models into scalable products, transforming complex AI insights into actionable marketing strategies.
    • Drive the research and integration of emerging AI technologies, conducting deep statistical analysis to identify the patterns and metrics that fuel successful campaigns.

The ideal candidate will bring:

    • 8+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying sophisticated machine learning solutions, with a deep focus on agentic systems, NLP, or deep learning.

    • A proven ability to architect scalable data pipelines, MLOps processes, and ML platforms that support high-volume model training and inference.
    • Expert-level proficiency in the Python ecosystem (e.g., scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face) and advanced SQL for data warehousing and ETL processes.
    • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), distributed computing (Spark or Dask), and a deep understanding of database architectures.
    • Exceptional communication skills, with the talent to distill complex technical concepts and data into clear, actionable business strategies for non-technical stakeholders.
    • A passion for democratizing AI for SMBs and a natural instinct for uncovering meaningful patterns and relationships within data to drive significant business value.
