Requirements

  • Strong foundation in ML research or systems (advanced degree or high-impact work in industry)
  • Deep experience with NLP and LLMs (fine-tuning, LoRA, RAG, quantization)
  • Experience shipping ML models in production environments (latency, safety, or interpretability critical)
  • Ability to think creatively about tradeoffs between performance, explainability, and reliability

Responsibilities

  • Train and fine-tune large open-source language models for clinical reasoning, medical question answering, and evidence-grounded generation
  • Design and scale multimodal embeddings to encode clinical documents, structured EHRs, and payer policies
  • Own the lifecycle of ML systems—from research prototypes to fault-tolerant, privacy-compliant services
  • Build robust retrieval pipelines for real-time semantic search and RAG architectures in the clinical domain
  • Collaborate with clinicians, engineers, and product leaders to ensure outputs are interpretable, auditable, and aligned with real-world constraints
  • Contribute to a culture of ML excellence through code reviews, experimentation frameworks, and internal knowledge sharing

Latent AI

Optimizes AI for edge computing applications

About Latent AI

Latent AI focuses on enhancing artificial intelligence for edge computing, which involves processing data close to where it is generated, like on smartphones and IoT devices. Their main product is an edge MLOps workflow that automates and simplifies the deployment of AI models on these devices, ensuring they are efficient, secure, and require minimal maintenance. This company stands out from competitors by specifically targeting the edge computing market and providing a software development kit (SDK) called Latent LEIP, which aids developers in creating and deploying AI models. The goal of Latent AI is to make AI more accessible and efficient for applications that need real-time data processing, such as in autonomous vehicles and smart cities.
