Senior DS Researcher

Company: Avito Location: Moscow, hybrid, RU Employment Type: FULL_TIME

About the Team

In the R&D team, we create new ML technologies based on cutting-edge scientific papers. Currently, the focus is on generative computer vision, speech synthesis (Text-to-Speech), and multimodal embeddings. We connect current scientific directions with Avito's tasks to implement solutions into products as early as possible and improve the user journey. We also collaborate with DS teams: we test hypotheses through A/B tests and bring PoCs to working solutions and product improvements.

Examples of Future Tasks

• research cutting-edge approaches to solving complex problems — from scientific and architectural perspectives — and design effective ML systems;
• develop and implement MVPs in several GenAI areas;
• publish research results at A* level conferences and participate in shaping the company's scientific agenda;
• interact with ML engineers, analysts, and product teams to test hypotheses and scale solutions.

It would be great if you:

• have a deep specialization in one of the DL areas, such as computer vision, and a broad understanding of other directions;
• have solved research problems, implemented SOTA, and adapted architectures to the specifics of data, as well as product and technical constraints;
• understand the full cycle of working with ML in large technology companies;
• can present research results in the form of scientific papers and present them to stakeholders.

Conditions

Work in a strong team, flexible schedule, extended voluntary medical insurance, high salaries, career growth, and a real contribution to the product.
