Senior Researcher, Natural Language Processing

Responsibilities

• Responsible for NLP research and development including LLM reasoning, conversational agents, machine translation, part-of-speech tagging, sentence analysis and named entity recognition.
• Optimize existing online algorithms, develop efficient and reliable NLP solutions by combining business needs and data.
• Explore applications of NLP techniques and deep learning algorithms in games.
• Follow the latest developments in academia and industry and quickly apply findings in your work.

Qualifications

• Familiar with NLP fundamentals, with a strong understanding of statistical models, related machine learning principles, and experience working on NLP related projects.
• Proficient in at least one programming language, familiar with basic data structures and algorithms.
• Practical experience working with large language models (e.g., DeepSeel, Qwen, LLaMA), including model fine-tuning, instruction tuning, and evaluation. Familiarity with training optimization frameworks like DeepSpeed, FSDP, and LoRA is highly preferred.
• Experience using tools and frameworks such as LLaMAFactory, Hugging Face Transformers, LangChain, or OpenLLM for model deployment, serving, or pipeline development. Comfortable with using modern MLOps practices for NLP workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to publish research results in top-tier NLP conferences (e.g., ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, NeurIPS, ICLR) or practical contributions to open-source LLM/NLP projects is preferred.
• Comfortable with both classical (e.g., CRF, SVM) and deep learning approaches (e.g., Transformers, RNNs, CNNs, LSTMs, GANs). Deep understanding of transformer architectures, attention mechanisms, and distributed training techniques is a strong advantage.
