AI Researcher - Foundation Models & Generative AI - Base44

We are seeking a highly accomplished AI Researcher to be part of the development of next-generation Foundation Models and Generative AI systems. In this role, you will bridge the gap between cutting-edge academic research and production-grade AI infrastructure. You will build, design, and fine-tune large-scale architectures (including LLMs, Multimodal, and Tabular Foundation Models) while applying them to complex, real-world domains like agentic behavior, coding and decision making.
In your day-to-day, you will:
Conduct pioneering research in deep learning and generative AI, specializing in Foundation Models, NLP, alignment, and multimodal learning
Deal with the impact of the models on production traffic, cost quality and latency
Train and scale state-of-the-art architectures using techniques like Post-Training SFT, Knowledge Distillation, LoRA, and sparse/hybrid model architectures
Own the AI lifecycle-from algorithmic prototyping and synthetic data generation to deploying production-grade AI features in fast-paced or big-data environments
Drive research initiatives, author publications/patents, and collaborate with other research teams to integrate intelligent capabilities into core products.
