Meet the team!

Our Engineering team is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the systems and technologies that drive Unifonic’s solutions. We work closely with other departments to ensure our products and services meet the needs of our customers. If you are passionate about technology and are excited about working on cutting-edge communication and engagement solutions, we want you on our team.

As a Senior Machine Learning (AI) Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and deploying advanced machine learning solutions across various domains, including NLP, Text Classification, RAG, LLMs, Recommender engines, and Anomaly detection. This role involves end-to-end project ownership, from data preprocessing to the creation of service APIs, and offers opportunities to work on cutting-edge AI technologies.

Help us shape the future of communication by:

Leading the end-to-end design, development, and deployment of robust and scalable machine learning solutions, with a strong emphasis on NLP and RAG architectures.
Architecting and implementing RAG systems, combining large language models (LLMs) with robust retrieval mechanisms to improve the accuracy, factual grounding, and interpretability of generated content.
Applying advanced NLP techniques for tasks such as text classification, entity recognition, sentiment analysis, summarization, question answering, and information extraction.
Researching, evaluating, and integrating state-of-the-art NLP models and RAG frameworks (e.g., Transformers, BERT, GPT variants, Vector Databases, Semantic Search).
Mentoring junior team members on the team, sharing knowledge, and advising the best machine learning and software engineering practices and approaches.
Establishing and maintaining robust communication channels with other cross-functional teams to facilitate the integration of machine learning solutions into other Unifonic products.
Developing and optimizing highly confident machine learning algorithms and models and creating/exposing the service APIs using frameworks such as Flask, FastAPIs, or other relevant frameworks.
Staying up to date with the latest machine learning research papers, and AI trends (i.e. Generative AI).
Collaborating with the data engineering team and other teams to collect and analyze extensive datasets, extracting insights and patterns, in real-time, near-real-time, or batch processing mode.
Implementing proof of concepts and prototypes to demonstrate the potential of new AI use cases and innovations.
Building scalable, maintainable machine learning services, which should handle thousands of requests per second, and help to perform the required load tests to meet the SLA.
Reviewing the code of other team members and suggesting improvements to ensure the SOLID principles and clean architecture.
Assisting in the project documentation and demos.

Requirements

What you'll bring:

Proven experience designing and implementing RAG systems, including familiarity with various retrieval strategies (e.g., BM25, dense retrieval, hybrid approaches) and knowledge graph integration.
Hands-on experience with LLM orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or similar tools for building and managing autonomous agents.
Deep expertise in various NLP techniques and models, including but not limited to:
Transformer architectures (e.g., BERT, GPT, T5, LLama, Mistral)
Large Language Models (LLMs) and their fine-tuning/adaptation
Vector embeddings and similarity search
Text classification, named entity recognition (NER), sentiment analysis, summarization, and question answering.
Hands-on 3-5 years of relevant work experience as a Machine Learning Engineer.
Hands-on 3+ years of experience with Python.
Excellent analytical abilities, with the capacity to collect, organize, and analyze large datasets to glean valuable insights.
End-to-end experience in training, e
