Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • Develop and deploy generative AI and agentic AI systems to advance identity verification, fraud prevention, and risk intelligence solutions for a publicly traded software company.
  • • Design and implement deep learning models—including transformer architectures, graph neural networks, and reinforcement learning systems—used in real-time identification of people, businesses, assets, and their relationships.
  • • Collaborate with cross-functional teams of scientists, engineers, and product leaders to translate research into scalable, production-grade AI solutions that reduce fraud and support regulatory compliance.
  • • Build and optimize agentic AI systems with capabilities in tool usage, function calling, planning, multi-agent orchestration, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), ensuring reliable performance in production environments.
  • • Pre-train and fine-tune foundational large language models (LLMs), applying techniques such as supervised fine-tuning, RLHF, DPO, LoRA, PEFT, and model distillation to improve accuracy and efficiency.
  • • Design and ship AI-powered products end-to-end, from concept and experimentation to deployment at national or global scales, ensuring robustness, scalability, and measurable business impact.
  • • Evaluate agent behavior and model performance in live systems, using rigorous metrics to guide iterative improvements and maintain compliance with industry standards.
  • • Apply expertise in natural language processing (NLP) to develop generative AI applications for identity intelligence, including entity resolution, relationship mapping, and anomaly detection.
  • • Utilize Python and C++ with AI frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX to prototype, train, and deploy models in cloud-based environments.
  • • Engage in continuous learning by reading cutting-edge research and rapidly translating findings into working prototypes, bridging the gap between academic innovation and product delivery.
  • • Contribute to the development of scalable ML infrastructure, including distributed training pipelines and model serving systems optimized for low-latency, high-throughput use cases.
  • • Participate in defining the technical roadmap for AI capabilities within the identity and risk intelligence platform, aligning research initiatives with business objectives and customer needs.
  • • Maintain awareness of emerging trends in generative AI, agentic systems, and risk intelligence, ensuring the company's technology remains at the forefront of the industry.
  • • Support the documentation and knowledge-sharing of AI models and systems to enable collaboration across engineering, data science, and product teams.

🎯 Requirements

  • • Ph.D. in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field with focus on generative AI, agentic AI, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and/or graph neural networks—or equivalent industry experience
  • • 3–6 years of applied research experience in AI with a track record of shipping AI-powered products (not just prototyping or publishing)
  • • Hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic AI systems including tool usage, function calling, planning, multi-agent orchestration, and RAG
  • • Proficiency in Python or C++ and AI frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX
  • • Deep understanding of transformer architectures, LLMs, and NLP applications in generative and agentic contexts
  • • Experience building and deploying scalable AI/ML solutions in real-world, production environments at national or global scale

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Stock (RSU) grants
  • • 401(k) with generous company match
  • • Flexible PTO policy
  • • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • • Commuter benefits
  • • In-office healthy snacks and team events
