TL;DR · Applied Scientist AI/ML

As an Applied Scientist AI/ML, you will join a nimble team focused on pushing the boundaries of applied machine learning and artificial intelligence. You will be responsible for designing and deploying architectural improvements to deep neural network based home valuation models while building interpretable models to explain pricing decisions. Your daily work involves incorporating unstructured data like images, videos, and text into forecasting pipelines using large language models and vision-language models. You will also improve feature engineering, optimize risk models, and enhance human-in-the-loop systems. The role requires advanced expertise in Python, deep learning architectures such as ConvNets and Transformers, and a solid foundation in statistics and experimental design. You will utilize tools like Pyspark for distributed data processing to solve complex problems involving structured and unstructured housing data within the real estate domain.
