Senior Research Engineer, Natural Language Processing

The role is in a research and development team for speech and language technologies, focused on machine translation for anime, games and films. The aim is to preserve source worldbuilding and creative intent while reflecting target-language cultural nuance. Work covers machine-translation models, evaluation metrics and data development, with possible model compression and production-system integration. Strong academic results may be submitted to conferences. Applicants need a master’s in natural language processing, AI, machine learning or a closely related field, or equivalent practical experience; three years using Python, C/C++ and Linux/Unix; and two years in machine learning and NLP with PyTorch or TensorFlow. They must demonstrate research ability through conference publications, open-source contributions or other scientific activity, and have LLM development knowledge plus experience applying LLMs to downstream tasks using supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning. Applicants also need at least three years in computer science, AI/ML or a related field.
