• Domain Knowledge: A solid understanding of transformer architectures and the mechanics of RAG.
• Soft Skills: A research-oriented mindset with the ability to troubleshoot complex, non-deterministic systems.

Nice To Haves

• GPA: 3.5 or higher preferred.

Responsibilities

• Architect & Optimize RAG Pipelines: Improve retrieval accuracy using vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus, or Weaviate).
• LLM Implementation: Experiment with and fine-tune prompts and workflows using models like GPT-4, Claude, or Llama 3.
• Data Engineering: Assist in the cleaning, chunking, and embedding of proprietary datasets.
• Evaluation: Implement benchmarking frameworks to measure hallucinations, faithfulness, and relevancy of model outputs.

Benefits

• Mentorship: Direct access to several AI chief architects and weekly 1-on-1 growth sessions.
• Portfolio Impact: Significant contribution to a live AI project that you can showcase to future employers.
• Flexibility: We respect your academic schedule and offer flexible working hours.
