MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEER - LLM

Welcome to CloudWalk - a fintech company that is committed to revolutionize the payments industry by harnessing the transformative potential of large language models (LLMs).
We are seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to join one of our Conversational AI teams, where you will turn advanced LLM research into impactful real-world applications.
\ Conversational AI at CloudWalk.
Our Conversational AI teams are shaping the future of fintech, integrating LLMs with graph workflows and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to address a wide array of challenges.
Projects range from customer-facing bots that streamline financial management to internal systems that improve operational efficiency.
We operate at the intersection of research and application, alternating between phases of deep exploration into new technologies and focused delivery of impactful solutions.
This dynamic approach ensures our innovations are practical and deliver genuine benefits to our customers.
Our team.
Our team is on a mission to empower customers to manage their finances entirely through a conversational interface.
From executing transactions to delivering real-time business analytics, we leverage LLMs to create seamless and engaging user experiences.
Collaboration is at the heart of our team’s culture, where data scientists, machine learning engineers, and software engineers come together to tackle challenges, learn from failures, and celebrate successes.
This synergy drives our ability to innovate and deliver transformative results.
Your role.
You will engage in a dynamic workflow that alternates between exploration and exploitation, focusing on enhancing knowledge integration, optimizing performance, and ensuring low-latency responses.
Whether experimenting with research-driven ideas or implementing practical solutions like knowledge base updates and system optimizations, your work will directly shape customer experiences.
Your contributions might include.
Refining and enhancing existing RAG pipelines to improve accuracy, scalability, and low-latency performance.
Exploring and prototyping innovative methods for knowledge integration and retrieval strategies to enhance system performance and user experience.
Designing and implementing workflows to manage conversation flows, particularly for high-risk scenarios requiring user confirmation.
Updating and maintaining knowledge bases to ensure accuracy, consistency, and fast retrieval times, while developing semi-automated solutions to streamline the process.
Monitoring and optimizing system performance, identifying and addressing latency bottlenecks to ensure reliability and scalability.
You will work collaboratively with data scientists, software engineers, and other stakeholders to align priorities and contribute where your expertise is most impactful.
