- Build and scale pipelines for synthetic data generation, filtering, and quality control
- Define evaluation frameworks and benchmarks to measure real-world model improvement
- Partner with cross-functional teams to translate product goals into data strategies
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience in machine learning, ideally with a data-centric focus
- Experience working with large multimodal datasets and generative models
- Strong intuition for how data quality and composition impact model behavior
- Experience across the full ML lifecycle, from data to training to evaluation
- Proficiency with ML frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX
