Job Description

JOB DESCRIPTION :

JOB Title : Data Scientist + ML Engineer (Gen AI) (NO C2C)

Location : Cupertino , CA (Remote , but needs to be onsite occasionally)

Duration : 12 months contract with possible extension

POSITION OVERVIEW :

We are looking for a highly skilled Data Scientist + ML Engineer (Generative AI)to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for developing, fine-tuning, and applying advanced generative AI models — including diffusion models, large language models (LLMs), and other state-of-the-art architectures. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional partners in research, data engineering, and operations to deliver high-quality machine learning solutions and scalable datasets.

This position requires a balance of technical depth and creative problem-solving. You should be comfortable working with large, complex datasets and possess a strong grasp of modern ML frameworks, distributed computing environments, and end-to-end data pipelines.

RESPONSIBILITIES :

  • Design and Implement LLM-Driven Synthetic Data Pipelines : Design and build work flows using LLMs and Gen AI techniques to create high-volume, high-quality synthetic data for model training and testing.
  • Design, implement, and deploy machine learning models with a focus on generative AI (diffusion models, LLMs, and related architectures)
  • Fine-tune, evaluate, and optimize large language models for specific downstream tasks and data needs
  • Develop and maintain scalable data pipelines supporting training, evaluation, and inference workflows
  • Conduct exploratory data analysis to surface insights and identify opportunities for model or data improvement
  • Partner cross-functionally with researchers, engineers, and data program managers to defi ne requirements and deliver high-impact ML solutions
  • Build and enhance internal tools, libraries, and automation work flows to accelerate experimentation and iteration

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS :

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related fi eld from an accredited U.S. institution
  • 2+ years of experience in Machine Learning or Software Engineering
  • Expert-level proficiency in Python and familiarity with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch
  • Strong foundation in machine learning algorithms, data preprocessing, and evaluation techniques
  • Demonstrated experience working with diffusion models, stable diffusion, or large language models (LLMs)
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills
  • Strong communication and documentation skills with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, iterative development environment
  • Create a job alert for this search
