Xometry is seeking a Senior Data Scientist to join their Generative AI team. This role focuses on training and fine-tuning Visual Language Models (VLMs) for multimodal document understanding. The ideal candidate will leverage their expertise in machine learning and computer vision to advance Xometry's capabilities in processing and extracting structured data from complex documents and images. This is a 1-year contract position.
The role involves:
- Developing, fine-tuning, and evaluating Visual Language Models (VLMs) to enhance document understanding.
- Designing and implementing data preparation, cleaning, and augmentation processes tailored to multimodal model training.
- Leveraging transfer learning and pre-trained models to accelerate model development.
- Using cloud resources (e.g., Amazon Web Services) to scale training and fine-tuning processes.
- Collaborating with data engineering and MLOps teams to deploy VLMs into production.
- Interpreting model outputs and improve model accuracy using data analysis and visualization tools.
- Experimenting with state-of-the-art model architectures, continuously optimizing VLM performance.
- Participating in peer reviews, sharing insights, and contributing to an environment of continuous learning.
Requirements:
- A bachelor’s degree is required; an advanced degree (M.S. or PhD) is highly preferred.
- 5+ years of experience in data science and machine learning, with expertise in Visual Language Models or multimodal machine learning.
- Strong experience with machine learning libraries and frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Hugging Face.
- Proficiency in Python, including libraries like pandas, numpy, and scikit-learn.
- Solid understanding of deep learning techniques and experience with transfer learning, fine-tuning, and model evaluation.
- Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS SageMaker) for model training and deployment.
- Familiarity with data processing and visualization tools (SQL, Jupyter Notebooks, Looker, etc.) and basic database knowledge (e.g., Snowflake, MongoDB).
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a strong ability to work in an environment that values teamwork, innovation, and continuous learning.
Xometry offers:
- A team-oriented setting, participating in peer reviews, sharing insights, and contributing to an environment of continuous learning and improvement.
