MTS - AI Research

Advance the state of enterprise AI through research and prototyping

full-time
Kuala Lumpur or Singapore
Highly competitive
GitHub Required

Overview

Work at the intersection of research and application. You'll explore new techniques for enterprise AI problems, prototype solutions, and transition promising ideas into production systems. Unlike pure research roles, you'll be grounded in real problems faced by enterprises: model hallucinations in critical workflows, bias in hiring systems, interpretability for regulated industries. Your job is to push the frontier of what's possible while shipping working systems.

Responsibilities

  • Identify and investigate open problems in enterprise AI applications
  • Design experiments and analyze results
  • Implement prototypes and run empirical evaluations
  • Collaborate with delivery teams to transition research to production
  • Publish findings (papers, blog posts, open-source code)
  • Present research internally and at client workshops

Requirements

  • PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field (or equivalent research experience)
  • Published research in top-tier venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, etc.) or significant open-source contributions
  • Strong engineering skills: can implement ideas in code and ship to production
  • Track record of turning research into practical applications

Required Skills

PythonMachine Learning

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with large language models or generative AI
  • Built ML systems used in production by real users
  • Contributions to major ML frameworks or libraries
  • Industry research experience (not just academic)

A Day in the Life

Morning: Run experiments on prompt optimization for structured output. Afternoon: Code review on production integration of new technique. Evening: Write up results for internal tech talk.

Why This Role

Work on problems that matter, with real constraints and real users. Ship code, not just papers. Learn from engagement with diverse industries. Build things people use.

Technical Challenge

This role requires completing a technical challenge as part of the application process. Challenge: Medium: Analytics Dashboard Backend

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a pure research role?

No. Roughly 60% research (experiments, prototypes, analysis), 40% engineering (production integration, tooling, infrastructure).

Can I publish?

Yes, with approval. We encourage sharing knowledge that doesn't reveal client-specific information. Internal tech reports always welcome.

What's the challenge?

Medium-difficulty data/ML challenge. We evaluate: problem formulation, experimental design, code quality, communication of results.
