Senior Data Scientist - VLM (LATAM)

Xometry is seeking a Senior Data Scientist to join our Generative AI team. The candidate will focus on training and fine-tuning Visual Language Models (VLMs) for multimodal document understanding. The ideal candidate will leverage their expertise in machine learning and computer vision to advance Xometry's capabilities in processing and extracting structured data from complex documents and images.  This is a 1-year contract.  

Responsibilities:

  • Develop, fine-tune, and evaluate Visual Language Models (VLMs) to enhance document understanding, focusing on multimodal data such as text, images, and technical drawings.
  • Design and implement data preparation, cleaning, and augmentation processes tailored to multimodal model training, ensuring high-quality data pipelines for VLMs.
  • Leverage transfer learning and pre-trained models to accelerate model development and optimize performance on Xometry’s specific data.
  • Use cloud resources (e.g., Amazon Web Services) to scale training and fine-tuning processes for VLMs efficiently.
  • Collaborate with data engineering and machine learning operations (MLOps) teams to deploy VLMs into production and monitor their performance.
  • Interpret model outputs and improve model accuracy and robustness by applying data analysis and visualization tools (such as Python, Jupyter Notebooks, and SQL).
  • Experiment with and implement state-of-the-art model architectures, continuously optimizing VLM performance in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
  • Work within a team-oriented setting, participating in peer reviews, sharing insights, and contributing to an environment of continuous learning and improvement.

Requirements:

  • A bachelor’s degree is required; an advanced degree (M.S. or PhD) in computer science, data science, machine learning, or a related field is highly preferred.
  • 5+ years of experience in data science and machine learning, with expertise in Visual Language Models or multimodal machine learning.
  • Strong experience with machine learning libraries and frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Hugging Face.
  • Proficiency in Python, including libraries like pandas, numpy, and scikit-learn.
  • Solid understanding of deep learning techniques and experience with transfer learning, fine-tuning, and model evaluation.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS SageMaker) for model training and deployment.
  • Familiarity with data processing and visualization tools (SQL, Jupyter Notebooks, Looker, etc.) and basic database knowledge (e.g., Snowflake, MongoDB).
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a strong ability to work in an environment that values teamwork, innovation, and continuous learning.
  • Familiarity with computer vision tasks and frameworks, as well as experience with multimodal data, is a plus.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
