Are you interested in Natural Language Generation, do you like experimenting with data, have a passion for driving change and are you up for challenging state-of-the-art methods? 

We are looking for a Machine Learning expert who's willing to specialize in Natural Language Processing and Natural Language Generation. 

If the following traits match your profile, we would be more than happy to receive your application.

• you enjoy working on challenging problems and experimenting with innovative techniques; 
• you have a desire to lead change; 
• you feel comfortable working with huge amounts of unprocessed data;  
• you have experience orchestrating different machine learning mechanisms. 

Who are we?

We are SageWrite (https://sagewrite.com/), an Icelandic AI startup that is developing the first and world’s best text-generation and text-enhancement platform for academic writing. We use state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence techniques to help academics write better papers, faster. Our platform takes in a rough outline of what researchers want to write and generate the corresponding text for them. Research drives progress: our mission is to help researchers spend less time writing their papers, and more time working on perfecting their ideas and research.

What will you do? 

You will be:

• Training large-scale deep learning models and thinking deeply about why they might be making the predictions that they are making;
• Reading, analyzing and critiquing papers in fields such as NLP and NLG;
• Participating in brainstorming sessions and research meetings with our team and external advisors, where we discuss and challenge each other’s ideas;
• Developing our internal package; 
• Writing production code to serve our trained models on the cloud.

Who are you?

• You have 2 + years of experience with Machine Learning or NLP research;
• You have experience with data mining activities document classification/retrieval, dimensionality reduction, neural network modeling;
• You are passionate about artificial intelligence and machine learning. You love reading papers, blog posts, talking about the latest trends in the field and discussing new ideas.
• You can write, test and prototype machine learning models;
• You have a BA degree or higher in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, or equivalent experience;
• You believe in the value of scientific research, you have a desire to help researchers get their work published. 

We place a lot of emphasis on the quality of the data we use for training, but we also expect some experience with building end-to-end systems based on machine-learning or deep-learning methods (ETL, modeling and deployment).

What might distinguish your application?

• Experience with a wide variety of machine learning and deep learning toolkits such as Keras, TensorFlow, PyTorch;
• Experience with deep learning-based NLP models such as BERT, OpenAI GPT-2/3, T5 and other transformers;
• Experience with traditional NLP tools such as BoW models, word vectors, and Python NLP toolkits such as SpaCy, NLTK, HuggingFace;
• Experience working with AWS, Docker, Airflow and Kubernetes.

What do we offer?

• A competitive salary;
• Remote working arrangements: this position is fully remote;
• High degree of responsibility and the opportunity to grow into a senior role as the company scales. We hope you'll stay with us for the long run;
• The possibility to lead changes in the field of NLP;
• Authorship on high-impact papers on NLP and NLG techniques;
• Paid attendance at top machine learning conferences;
• A deep sense of meaning, having a significant role in helping researchers all over the world get their research out in the world, where it can drive progress.
