About You (Job Description)

We are looking for an exceptional Applied Researcher, someone with a comprehensive background in various data science sub-fields and robust programming abilities. Your mission will involve advancing our pioneering research in areas such as optimization, debugging, and the intricate process of unlearning within the realms of Deep Learning and Large Language Models.

This role demands an in-depth acquaintance with LLMs—ranging from sophisticated analysis, manipulation and precise fine-tuning. You'll also dive into working with similarity-based algorithms, training classical models among other tasks.

Hirundo navigates through diverse data landscapes, each presenting unique, often unprecedented challenges. You’ll need to bring a versatile, multidisciplinary skill set across multiple data modalities — including computer vision, sensor data (e.g., radar and lidar), speech, text, and beyond — to tackle state-of-the-art data problems from all angles.

Positioned at the crossroads of innovation in a rapidly evolving startup, you as a data scientist will not only pioneer solutions for complex problems but also crucially influence our product's development. This is a rare opportunity to directly impact our offerings from a user-centric perspective, facilitating meaningful interactions with various teams across different organizations.

Employment type: Full-time. Hybrid: 3 days in-office, 2 days remote.

Location: Hirundo is a 5-minute walk from the Binyamina train station.

We accommodate for unique needs that could arise in today’s work life: what we care about is building a successful, and humane, team.
