Senior Computational Linguist
Primary stack
Job description
About the Position
We are hiring to create software research and development labs in a few different areas. These are true R&D labs in the sense that they will be expected to produce commercial products. We are still early on in the process, so the current focus is on building development teams for implementing proof of concept and example systems with some of our existing technology.
We are looking for a number of Senior Computational Linguists to work on projects in the following areas:
- Detecting coordinated disinformation
- Heterogenous sensor fusion
- Detecting implicit bias in online sources
The areas overlap and teams will be expected to work across projects. Some example tasks that these projects involve include, but are not limited to: building complex chat-bots to solicit information from the public, fusing data from various sensors / sources (to begin with this will be text but may also include speech further down the line), and developing sets of linguistic features to detect implicit bias. This may include improvements of existing approaches, for example quote attribution or subject/object identification, or the development of novel ideas. Team members are expected to think on their feet and not be afraid to try new things. If successful, there is the potential to collaborate on patents.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement proof of concept systems
- Work on projects related to detecting disinformation and implicit bias
- Collaborate with teams on overlapping projects
- Build complex chat-bots and fuse data from various sources
- Develop linguistic features for detecting implicit bias
Requirements
- At least 5 years of industry or equivalent experience
- Proven ability to come up with original solutions to complex Computational Linguistics problems
- Ability to write code and use NLP toolkits
- Ability to work with at least one of the following languages: English, Ukrainian, Gulf Arabic, French, Spanish, Chinese.
Nice to Have
- Experience building and maintaining ontologies
- Experience building and maintaining knowledge bases for complex chatbots
- Experience with large-scale text annotation
- Prior experience working in the military, law enforcement, or intelligence domain
We Offer
- Opportunity to work in true R&D labs
- Potential to collaborate on patents
- Chance to develop novel ideas and improve existing approaches
