_x000D_Job Description:

DataRobot is the leader in Value-Driven AI, a unique and collaborative approach to generative and predictive AI that combines an open platform, deep expertise and broad use-case experience to improve how organizations run, grow and optimize their business. The DataRobot AI Platform is the only complete AI lifecycle platform that interoperates with an organization’s existing investments in data, applications and business processes, and can be deployed on prem or on any cloud environment. Global organizations, including 40% of the Fortune 50, rely on DataRobot to drive greater impact and value from AI.

This position aims to advance DataRobot’s unique generative AI position in the market, communicate findings to technical leadership, and foster collaboration on generative AI innovation across teams. DataRobot is an innovative leader in technology to apply AI and realize value. In order to continue this mission, DataRobot runs an AI research team focused on advancing the next frontier of AI technologies that will unlock value across businesses and industries. In particular, this team focuses on advancing deep learning and generative AI approaches and applications, publishing research in scientific journals, and sharing findings internally and externally. Their findings are also integrated into product features in order to have practical impact across hundreds of the world’s largest companies.Researchers at DataRobot have a unique advantage in being able to see the impacts of their work as it is integrated into product capabilities rapidly inside a startup environment. Additionally, they will have unique exposure to many of the world largest enterprise company AI builds to understand the innovations that will have the highest real-world impacts.DataRobot’s research areas today involve enabling businesses to realize value with AI. For example, generative AI assessment involves developing novel approaches to gain confidence in generative AI pipelines behavior before deployment. Research into improving the quality of RAG outputs (or related techniques) includes novel LLM fine-tuning, optimizing embeddings, and agent-based retrieval strategies. Cost reduction research involves developing new strategies to reduce latency and costs of generative AI pipelines. And finally, genAI consumption research involves improving how users engage with AI systems, such as agent based problem solving experiences.

Key Responsibilities:

• You will help identify technology gaps in the industry, particularly in areas that will unlock new value for use-cases for business, and determine research plans to incorporate into research pipelines by writing and motivating strategic research plans
• You will execute on long-term research plans with an efficient team in order to advance the state-of-the-art, resulting in scientific publications, advanced development prototypes, and external facing demonstrations
