TL;DR · AI Research Engineer, Representation Learning

Join our AI Research team as an AI Research Engineer in Alpharetta, GA or Midtown Atlanta, where you will develop Transformer-based models for structured and time-series credit risk data. Your daily tasks include advancing experimental research by building and experimenting with transformer models to enhance model performance, analyzing internal representations to understand how the model encodes complex financial concepts, conducting rigorous experiments, developing research prototypes using PyTorch/TensorFlow, collaborating on integration with ML Engineering teams, and driving strategic expansion into broader modeling architectures. Ideal candidates have a PhD or MS in a quantitative field with deep learning expertise, strong mathematical maturity, experience in representation learning, training intuition, and proficiency in Python. Advanced knowledge of sequence-to-sequence models, diffusion models, and temporal embedding techniques is preferred.

What you'll do

  • Develop and experiment with transformer-based models for structured and credit time-series data.
  • Analyze learned representations to uncover how the model encodes complex financial concepts.
  • Conduct rigorous experiments to validate hypotheses on model behavior and training dynamics.
  • Train, evaluate, and debug deep learning models using PyTorch/TensorFlow to create prototypes.
  • Extend core models into broader discriminative and generative modeling architectures.
  • Maintain expertise in modern deep learning techniques including sequence-to-sequence and diffusion models.

What we're looking for

  • PhD in ML/AI/CS/EE or related field with 3+ years of experience, or MS with 5+ years.
  • Strong foundation in Transformer architectures, attention mechanisms, and sequence modeling.
  • Deep knowledge of linear algebra, statistics, probability for characterizing model behavior.
  • Experience analyzing learned representations (latent spaces, embeddings) from deep learning models.
  • Technical intuition for deep learning training dynamics including stability and gradient behavior.
  • Ability to write clean, efficient Python code for developing research prototypes.
