Turnitin is headquartered in Oakland, with offices in Dallas, Pittsburgh, Newcastle (UK), Stockholm (Sweden), Cologne (Germany), Amsterdam (Netherlands). Our diverse community of colleagues is unified by a shared desire to make a difference in education.

    Our remote-first culture allows for every employee to get the same access to learning and career opportunities, and it enables us to think differently about where and how we recruit talent from all kinds of diverse backgrounds.

    Machine Learning is integral to the continued success of our company.

    Responsibilities and Requirements We expect Senior Machine Learning Scientists to be versatile and have a well-balanced set of skills.

    Develop and tune Machine Learning models, following best practices to select datasets, architectures, and model parameters.
    Utilize, adopt, and fine-tune Language Models, including third-party LLMs (through prompt engineering and orchestration) and locally hosted LMs.

    Stay current in the field - read research papers, experiment with new models and LLMs, and share your findings.

    Communicate data insights, as well as the behavior and limitations of models, to peers, subject matter experts, and product owners.

    Experience working with text data to build predictive models, both supervised and unsupervised.

    A strong understanding of the math and statistics behind machine learning theory and fluency with general machine learning domains such as classification, regression, unsupervised clustering and recommender engines.

    Software engineering background with 2-3 years of experience (we use Python, SQL, Unix-based systems, git, and github for collaboration and review).

    An understanding of Language Models, using and fine-tuning, encoding and decoding, and a familiarity with industry-standard LM families (such as BERT, GPT, and Bloom).

    Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics or related field, with relevant industry experience, or outstanding previous achievements in this role.

    Fluent in written and spoken English.
    Familiarity in coding for at-scale production, ranging from best practices to building back-end API services or stand-alone libraries.
    ~ Experience with advanced prompting, fine-tuning or training an LLM, open-source or cloud, using industry accepted platforms (such as mosaic.
