    Description

    Genies is culture's avatar technology company empowering developers and artists to create their own interoperable gamified consumer experiences. The company has raised $250 million from investors including Silver Lake, BOND, NEA, and Bob Iger. Initially, Genies were adopted by thousands of Hollywood icons including Justin Bieber and Rihanna through partnerships with Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group. Today, the company is also delivering avatars to the masses through experiences built with its Developer Kit and artist crowdsourced platform, The Workshop.

Collaborating with the broader innovative R&D team, you'll integrate multimodal techniques, allowing avatars to understand and respond to text, motions, speech, gestures, and facial expressions. Our mission is to revolutionize digital avatars, making them empathetic and authentic in user interactions, ushering in a new era of social engagement.

    Genies leads the way in developing next-gen AI avatars for celebrities, enabling personalized interactions and adaptive learning. Thousands of cultural influencers have already embraced Genies, training their smart avatars for fully personalized conversations, interactions, and gameplay in Genies' avatar social network. Our vision is to elevate digital interaction to an unprecedented level of personalization and immersion, bringing creators and influential tastemakers to life within our ecosystem. Join us on this journey to redefine the realm of digital avatars and elevate social interactions to new heights.

    • Identifying innovative NLP solutions for our product suite and defining the roadmap for their implementation.
    • Lead the training, fine-tuning, and deployment of large language models
    • Oversee the AI lifecycle from data acquisition to model deployment and real-time monitoring, guaranteeing efficiency at each phase.
    • Collaborate with cross-functional units, fostering knowledge exchange and enhancing business impact through machine learning.

    What you have:

    • Minimum of 3 years in model training, deployment, and procedures for efficiently acquiring and validating human-labeled data.
    • Experience training, fine-tuning and deploying large language models (LLM)
    • Proven track record of implementing NLP techniques to develop conversational agents, chatbots, or virtual assistants
    • Proficiency with deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and JAX.

    • Solid communication skills complemented by a history of fruitful collaborations.
    • Thrive in a high-tempo setting, demonstrating flexibility as project requirements shift.
    • Strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented programming.
    • Self-motivated and adept at operating independently.

    Nice to have:

    • An advanced degree (PhD or Master's) in computer science, artificial intelligence, or a related discipline.
    • Prior roles as a tech lead or manager.
    • Experience crafting machine learning models in cloud environments like AWS or GCP, with specific knowledge of Sagemaker being a plus
    • Published contributions in renowned machine learning conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, EMNLP, CVPR, MLSys, etc.) or journals.
