Research Scientist / Research Engineer

About the role

We are seeking a Research Scientist / Research Engineer to advance adaptive, efficient AI systems in Ireland. The role bridges cutting‑edge machine‑learning research with real‑world product impact, focusing on real‑time learning, gradient‑free optimization, and model efficiency.

Key responsibilities

• Design and develop adaptive machine‑learning systems that learn continuously from real‑time feedback and product signals.
• Innovate model and system architectures to enable real‑time learning and adaptive AI behavior.
• Co‑design algorithms that integrate user feedback and product data to improve performance.
• Develop methods for collecting, shaping, and leveraging synthetic and real‑world data.
• Collaborate with software, hardware, and research teams to optimise full‑stack system efficiency.
• Define and evaluate metrics tied to real‑world impact and user value.
• Translate research concepts into production‑ready, scalable solutions.

Required profile

• PhD or equivalent research experience in computer science or a related field.
• 4‑5+ years of industry experience in machine‑learning or AI research.
• Deep expertise in at least one area such as model efficiency, real‑time alignment, or algorithmic optimisation.
• Strong systems thinking with the ability to optimise across the full ML pipeline.
• Experience working in large‑scale industrial or research‑lab environments.
• Excellent collaboration skills and a willingness to experiment with bold ideas.

Required skills

• Python programming.
• Experience with deep‑learning frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX or TensorFlow.
• Knowledge of optimisation techniques, including reinforcement learning from human feedback and fine‑tuning methods.

What we offer

• Flexible work arrangements.
