PpWithin the bAgorai Innovation Hub /bwe are looking for a talented and proactive resource, who will work directly with the AI Architect and Head of Technology on use case definition and technical direction. /p pThe researcher will work at the intersection of language understanding, knowledge representation, and trustworthy AI. This means combining LLMs with structured knowledge to ground reasoning; designing evaluation frameworks that surface failure modes before they reach production; and building information extraction systems whose outputs can be audited. /p h3Key responsibilities /h3 ul liOwn the research-to-production arc on language understanding and knowledge-grounded AI: from literature review and experimentation to deployment and monitoring; /li liDesign AI systems whose outputs can be explained, audited, and trusted in regulated contexts — and know when simpler approaches serve that goal better than complex ones; /li liBuild production-quality services around your models: APIs, inference pipelines, evaluation harnesses; /li liDesign evaluation frameworks that go beyond benchmark metrics — testing for failure modes, edge cases, and behavior under distribution shift; /li liWork on information extraction, semantic understanding, and structured knowledge problems grounded in real industrial data; /li liStay current with the research frontier in language models, interpretability, and trustworthy AI; /li liContribute to technical standards and code quality across the team; /li liWork on a genuinely hard and open research problem with direct industrial application. /li /ul h3Requirements /h3 ul liMaster's degree or PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Engineering or a related STEM field; /li liAt least 3–5 years of experience working with NLP or language understanding systems in production environments, such as text classification, information extraction, semantic search, RAG, or generative systems; /li liAt least 3–5 years of experience in applied NLP or computer vision, working with real-world data and operational constraints rather than benchmark-only environments; /li liExperience working across one or more of the following sectors: Healthcare, Financial Services, Mobility/Transport, Agriculture. /li /ul h3Technical Skills /h3 ul liFluent across the stack: LLM-based systems, classical ML, APIs, microservices, inference optimization; /li liStrong software engineering fundamentals: your code is modular, testable, and maintainable by someone other than you; /li liComfort with the full arc from prototype to production: you know what a model registry is, you have thought about inference latency, you have monitored a deployed model; /li liWorking knowledge of Python ML ecosystem: PyTorch or JAX, HuggingFace, experiment tracking (MLflow, WB), serving frameworks. /li /ul h3Soft Skills Personal Attributes /h3 ul liEntrepreneurial mindset: takes ownership, operates with autonomy and drives things forward without waiting for direction; /li liGenuine interest in trustworthy and explainable AI — not as a theoretical topic but as a design constraint that shapes how you build; /li liExcellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to interact effectively with both technical teams and C-suite executives or institutional clients. /li /ul h3Languages /h3 ul liEnglish: Full professional proficiency required (primary working language for international projects and publications); /li liItalian: Knowledge of Italian is considered an advantage. /li /ul h3Company Profile /h3 pAgorai is a B2B AI Innovation Hub founded in Trieste, Italy, backed by Generali, Fincantieri, Illy, and Regione FVG. Our mission is to HumanAIze the future — developing AI that is safe, responsible, and built to benefit humanity as a whole. We work on industrial and enterprise use cases, but also on projects with direct public benefit: public safety, territorial development, and societal challenges where AI can make a genuine difference. We build solutions we own, sell, and scale. We are at the very beginning: no bureaucracy, no legacy, high ambition. /p h3Location /h3 pTrieste (Italy) /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
