• Understanding of transformer architectures, attention mechanisms, and LLM internals
• Research experience or published papers in relevant fields
• Knowledge of Hebrew and/or Arabic (advantage for multilingual projects)
• Experience with data annotation, experiment design, or A/B testing
• Contributions to open-source AI/ML projects

Ideal Candidate Profile

We're looking for intellectually curious individuals who:

• Are passionate about understanding how AI systems "think" and learn
• Can quickly absorb complex technical documentation and apply it practically
• Enjoy experimenting with different approaches to solve novel problems
• Have a scientific mindset with strong hypothesis-testing abilities
• Can work independently while contributing to collaborative research efforts
• Are excited about being at the forefront of AI development

Work Arrangement

• Hours: 20 hours per week (flexible scheduling)
• Location: Fully remote from anywhere in Israel
• Duration: Ongoing with project-based assignments
• Perfect for students, recent graduates, or professionals seeking to transition into AI

What We Offer

• Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art AI technology and methodologies
• Direct involvement in training models for leading tech companies
• Exposure to diverse AI challenges across multiple domains
• Flexible schedule that accommodates other commitments
• Competitive hourly compensation
• Continuous learning opportunities in rapidly evolving AI landscape
• Professional development and skill building in prompt engineering
• Remote work environment with cutting-edge collaborative tools
