University or Organization: Kasisto Inc 
Department: Platform Engineering
Job Location: New York, USA (Telecommute)
Job Title: NLP Engineer
Job Rank: Programmer

Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics; Computational Linguistics 


Description:

What we need: 
We are looking for an NLP Engineer to contribute to the architecture and
development of our cutting-edge conversational AI platform by creating
sophisticated natural language understanding (NLU), intelligent interpretation
and context handling, conversational flows and reasoning, and interactive
natural language generation (NLG).

What you will be doing: 
You will design, build, and maintain new and existing conversational AI models
for personal and institutional banking across various languages and locales.
The position encompasses the entire scope of designing an intelligent digital
assistant, including text normalization and tokenization, NLU, interpretation
and context handling, reasoning and conversational flow, and NLG. You will
also oversee and assist with the customization, translation and localization,
development of tools, and maintenance of high-quality intelligent digital
assistants, in order to enable financial institutions to facilitate and engage
customers with our powerful conversational banking platform.

Candidates must have a strong background that includes production-level
experience with Machine Learning, NLP, and a solid command of object-oriented
programming. Candidates should be familiar with tuning, evaluating, and
debugging NLP systems. Our platform is multilingual, spanning many languages
and locales, so the candidate must be comfortable working with diverse
language data and should be an expert in the structure and patterns of
language. A mastery of multiple languages or a background in linguistics,
while not required, is strongly recommended.

This position is ideal for someone who wants to make AI-powered intelligent
digital assistants smarter and more useful, and who has a passion for language
and NLP. You will have a major impact on the behavior of our conversational AI
systems that are being used by millions of banking consumers across the world,
while working independently within a small, creative, and supportive
environment of passionate people. This is an excellent opportunity for someone
looking to gain hands-on experience with a lot of creative control inside a
rapidly growing tech startup.
 
What you need for this position: 
 - 3+ years of professional experience with NLP technology
 - Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Linguistics, Data Science, or a
related field, preferably with a focus on Artificial Intelligence or Machine
Learning
 - Strong proficiency in Java and a solid Computer Science foundation; must be
able to write production-level code and understand OOP principles
 - Experience with current research and trends in the fields of NLP and ML
 - Experience with building DNN-based NLP models using frameworks such as
TensorFlow or PyTorch
 - Experience with developing multilingual NLU technology, text processing,
statistical NLP, and/or conversational agents
 - Experience with Python, JavaScript, shell scripting and/or SQL is a plus
