Machine Translation Researcher (NMT & LLMs)

Job Title: Machine Translation Researcher (NMT & LLMs) Degrees in Computational Linguistics or CS degrees. Location: Fully Remote – India Reports To: VP of AI Employment Type: Full-time ________________________________________ About the Role We are looking for a highly experienced Machine Translation Researcher to join our team and drive innovation in Neural Machine Translation (NMT) and LLM-based translation systems . This is a fully remote, long-term position, allowing you to live and work from anywhere while collaborating with a global team. In this role, you will design, train, and deploy state-of-the-art machine translation models, work with large-scale multilingual datasets, and integrate advanced LLM-based translation and RAG pipelines into production workflows. You will also help push the boundaries of translation quality, particularly for low-resource languages and domain-adapted MT systems. This position is ideal for researchers who combine strong theoretical understanding of modern NLP architectures with hands-on experience building and deploying large-scale MT systems. ________________________________________ Key Responsibilities: Machine Translation Research & Development • Design, train, fine-tune, and evaluate Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models across multiple language pairs (both high- and low-resource languages). • Develop state-of-the-art Transformer-based encoder–decoder models for production translation systems. • Conduct research and experimentation in areas such as: o Domain Adaptation o Knowledge Distillation o Factored MT o Adaptive NMT o Low-resource MT with LLM augmentation • Improve model robustness, generalization, and domain specialization. LLM-Based Translation Systems • Fine-tune and adapt large language models for tra
