About the role
Senior Scientist role focused on synthetic data generation for training frontier models, contributing to NVIDIA NeMo open-source libraries, and advancing multimodal synthetic data generation across text, code, structured, and multimodal data.
Responsibilities
- Build synthetic data generation pipelines using LLM-based methods and automated quality evaluation, producing datasets that improve the pre- and post-training of LLMs such as Nemotron — reasoning, coding, structured output, and multimodal understanding.
- Advance multimodal synthetic data generation — image, document, video, and audio — in partnership with NVIDIA's model teams.
- Design and maintain open-source libraries and SDKs with clean APIs and strong documentation.
- Drive software excellence with modern tooling, architecture based on configuration, and professional Git/CI-CD.
- Publish original research at top machine learning and AI conferences to maintain NVIDIA's technical leadership.
- Mentor interns and junior researchers to develop technical growth within the team.
Qualifications
- PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- A research background of 3+ years in synthetic data generation, generative modeling, multimodal machine learning, or related areas. Comparable experience is also considered.
- Deep technical understanding of LLMs, how data shapes their pre- and post-training, and inference frameworks such as vLLM or TGI.
- Proven track record of developing or maintaining software libraries used by a broad developer community.
- Strong publication record at premier venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL or similar.
