Research Engineer ML

About the Job:

Skyfall AI is on a mission to build the future of autonomous enterprises, and we're looking for a Research Software Development Engineer (RSDE) to join our cutting-edge AI research team. This role is ideal for engineers who thrive at the intersection of AI research and scalable software engineering, working on next-generation language models, reinforcement learning, and multi-agent systems. You’ll play a key role in developing AI training infrastructure, pushing the boundaries of LLMs and RL, and contributing to the broader research community through publications and open-source projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop Scalable AI Infrastructure – Design and build high-performance training pipelines for language models, reinforcement learning agents, and multi-agent systems.
• Implement Cutting-Edge AI Techniques – Work with state-of-the-art architectures, including transformer models, reinforcement learning frameworks, and generative AI techniques.
• Optimize AI Model Performance – Collaborate with researchers to improve training efficiency, fine-tuning strategies, and inference optimization for real-world enterprise applications.
• Contribute to Research & Open Source – Publish high-impact research, engage with the broader AI community, and contribute to leading open-source AI projects.
• Work with Large-Scale Systems – Leverage cloud-based GPU environments and distributed computing frameworks to train and deploy large-scale AI models.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field.
• Strong programming skills in Python, with experience in software engineering best practices.
• Experience with cloud-based GPU training environments (e.g., AWS, Lambda Labs, GCP).
• Hands-on experience with open-source AI frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX).
• Experience working with large-scale distributed systems and training pipelines.

Nice to Have Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field.
• Published research in top AI/ML conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL).
• Hands-on experience in LLMs, reinforcement learning, or multi-agent systems.
• Experience optimizing training pipelines for large-scale AI models.
• Contributions to open-source AI projects or AI research communities.
