Job Requirements / Description

Do you have a passion for teaching machines how to think, learn, and adapt? Are you excited by the idea of training AI models to understand and respond to complex data sets, transforming raw data into intelligent insights? If you love fine-tuning algorithms and empowering AI systems to get smarter, then our client has the perfect opportunity for you. We're looking for an AI Trainer (aka The Model Whisperer) to lead the development, training, and optimization of machine learning models that will drive our AI solutions forward.
As an AI Trainer at our client , you'll work closely with data scientists, machine learning engineers, and product teams to build, train, and improve AI models. Your expertise will ensure that models not only perform accurately but continue to learn and adapt as they encounter new data. Whether it's for natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, or predictive analytics, you'll be at the forefront of creating smarter, more robust AI systems.
Key Responsibilities:

  1. Develop and Train AI Models:
  • Work with data scientists and engineers to design, build, and train machine learning models, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. You'll develop models for a range of AI applications, such as image recognition, NLP, and recommendation engines.
  • Data Preparation and Labeling:
    • Lead the data collection and labeling process, ensuring that AI models are trained with high-quality data. You'll clean, preprocess, and curate datasets, turning raw data into well-structured inputs for training.
  • Fine-Tune and Optimize Models:
    • Experiment with different model architectures, hyperparameters, and optimization techniques to improve model performance. You'll ensure that models generalize well and perform accurately in production environments, minimizing bias and overfitting.
  • Monitor Model Performance:
    • Continuously monitor the performance of models in production, detecting potential drift and retraining models when necessary. You'll ensure that models adapt to new data and remain robust over time, meeting real-world performance expectations.
  • Collaboration and Cross-Functional Work:
    • Collaborate closely with data engineers, software developers, and product managers to ensure that AI models are integrated effectively into products and services. You'll contribute to the overall architecture and implementation of AI-driven solutions.
  • AI Model Documentation and Education:
    • Document the training processes, model architectures, and performance metrics for AI models. You'll help create guides and resources for team members, enabling others to understand and work with the models you've trained.
  • Stay Up-to-Date with AI Advancements:
    • Keep current with the latest AI and machine learning techniques, tools, and best practices. You'll experiment with new approaches and technologies to continually improve the models you work on, ensuring our client stays at the cutting edge of AI development.
    Requirements
    Required Skills:
