Job Description
Machine Learning is integral to the continued success of our company. Our product roadmap is exciting and ambitious. You will join a global team of curious, helpful, and independent scientists and engineers, united by a commitment to deliver cutting-edge, well-engineered Machine Learning systems. You will work closely with product and engineering teams across Turnitin to integrate Machine Learning into a broad suite of learning, teaching and integrity products.
We are in a unique position to deliver Machine Learning used by hundreds of thousands of instructors teaching millions of students around the world. Your contributions will have global reach and scale. Billions of papers have been submitted to the Turnitin platform, and hundreds of millions of answers have been graded on the Gradescope and Examsoft platforms. Machine Learning powers our AI Writing detection system, gives automated feedback on student writing, investigates authorship of student writing, revolutionizes the creation and grading of assessments, and plays a critical role in many back-end processes.
Responsibilities and Requirements:
We expect Senior Machine Learning Scientists to be versatile and have a well-balanced set of skills. You will focus on model training and maintenance with significant capacity for research (developing novel model architectures), dataset construction, and model hardening (preparing the model and code for production pipelines).
Day-to-day, your responsibilities are to:
Work with subject matter experts and product owners to determine what questions should be asked and what questions can be answered.
Work with subject matter experts to curate, generate, and annotate data, and create optimal datasets following responsible data collection and model maintenance practices.
Answer questions and make trainable datasets from raw data, using efficient SQL queries and scripting languages, visualizing when necessary.
Develop and tune Machine Learning models, following best practices to select datasets, architectures, and model parameters.
Utilize, adopt, and fine-tune Language Models, including third-party LLMs (through prompt engineering and orchestration) and locally hosted LMs.
Stay current in the field - read research papers, experiment with new architectures and LLMs, and share your findings.
Optimize models for scaled production usage.
Communicate insights, as well as the behavior and limitations of models, to peers, subject matter experts, and product owners.
Write clean, efficient, and modular code, with automated tests and appropriate documentation.
Stay up to date with technology, make good technological choices, and be able to explain them to the organization.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
Experience working with text data to build Deep Learning and ML models, both supervised and unsupervised. Experience with deep learning in other modalities such as vision and speech would be a strong bonus.
A strong understanding of the math and theory behind machine learning and deep learning.
Software engineering background with at least 8 years of experience (we use Python, SQL, Unix-based systems, git, and github for collaboration and review).
Machine / Deep Learning development skills, including experiment tracking (we use AWS SageMaker, Hugging Face, transformers, PyTorch, scikit-learn, Jupyter, Weights & Biases).
An understanding of Language Models, using and training / fine-tuning and a familiarity with industry-standard LM families.
Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, AI, Machine Learning, applied math or related field, with relevant industry experience, or outstanding previous achievements in this role. A Computer Science background is required as opposed to statistics or pure mathematics. We're an applied science group leaning towards deep learning and therefore software development proficiency is a prerequisite.
Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
Fluent in written and spoken English.
Would be a plus:
Familiarity in coding for at-scale production, ranging from best practices to building back-end API services or stand-alone libraries.
Essential dev-ops skills (we use Docker, AWS EC2/Batch/Lambda).

While we leverage ready-made training platforms, we also write our own training loops. Additionally, the models need to be directly deployable in our products, therefore, production level coding and software engineering proficiency is required. You may train large models (up to 100s of billions of parameters) therefore, ability to train on multiple GPUs and nodes and knowledge of the latest model training and inferencing advancements is necessary. Next, the models must perform well in production not only in terms of accuracy but also compute-cost. Delivering such software requires a sufficiently deep Computer Science background. Dataset exploration, generation (synthetic), design, construction and analysis, are a routine part of the job and may occupy a significant fraction of your time. Also, datasets can be large (billions of samples), therefore the ability to write parallel and efficient pipelines is a necessary skill. You will also be involved in code & model maintenance, code hardening (preparing the model and code for production pipelines), developing and staging demos and presenting your work within the company as well as via publications in peer reviewed venues (preferably A/A+ rated).
Day-to-day, your responsibilities are to:
Research and develop production grade Machine Learning models as described above. Optimize models for scaled production usage.
Work with colleagues in the AI team, other Engineering teams, subject matter experts, Product Management, Marketing, Sales and Customer support to explore ongoing product issues, challenges and opportunities and then recommend innovative ML/AI based solutions.
Help out with ad-hoc one-off tasks as a team player within the AI team.
Work with subject matter experts to curate and generate optimal datasets following responsible data collection and model maintenance practices. Explore and access SQL, no-SQL and web data and write efficient parallel pipelines. Review and design datasets to ensure data quality.
Investigate weaknesses of models in production and work on pragmatic solutions.
Utilize, adopt, and fine-tune off the shelf models, including LLMs exposed via API (through prompt engineering and agents) and locally hosting LMs and other foundation models.
Stay current in the field - read research papers, experiment with new architectures and LLMs, and share your findings.
Write clean, efficient, and modular code with automated tests and appropriate documentation.
Stay up to date with technology and platforms, make good technological choices, and be able to explain them to the organization.
Work with downstream teams to productionize your work and ensure that it makes into a product release.
Communicate insights, as well as the behavior and limitations of models, to peers, subject matter experts, and product owners.
Present and publish your work.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, AI, Machine Learning, applied math or related field or outstanding previous achievements demonstrating excellence in Deep Machine Learning, Computer Science and Software Engineering.
At least 5 years of industry experience in Machine / Deep Learning (we use the python ecosystem for ML), Computer Science and Software Engineering.
A strong understanding of the math and theory behind machine learning and deep learning is a prerequisite.
Academic publications in peer reviewed conferences or journals related to Machine Learning - preferably A/A+ rated such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI, TMLR, JMLR, IJCAI, ICANN, KDD, ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, COLING, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, IEEE etc.
Machine / Deep Learning development skills, including popular platforms (we use AWS SageMaker, Hugging Face, Transformers, PyTorch, PyTorch Lightning, Ray, scikit-learn, Jupyter, Weights & Biases etc.).
An understanding of Language Models, using and training / fine-tuning and a familiarity with industry-standard LM families.
