Avalara Machine Learning Lead - Natural Language Processing

At Avalara, we are building the next generation of automated tax compliance products by using modern machine learning techniques. As part of the AI/ML team, you'll work on real-world, large-scale applications that push the boundaries of machine learning and AI. If the prospect of building impactful systems excites you, we'd love to connect! You will be reporting to Senior Manager AI/ML What Your Responsibilities Will Be Algorithm Development: Design and program integrated software algorithms to structure, analyze, and use data in both structured and unstructured environments. Statistical Modelling: Apply experimental methodologies, statistics, optimization, probability theory, and machine learning to create tools, statistical models, and algorithms using general-purpose software and statistical languages. Insights and Optimization: Develop descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive insights and algorithms to improve product and system performance. ML and Statistical Techniques: Use techniques such as decision trees, logistic regression, Bayesian analysis, NLP, and other methods to design algorithms that enhance product quality, data accuracy, and system performance. Code Implementation: Translate algorithms and technical specifications into efficient, production-ready code using modern programming languages like Python Debugging: Implement programming practices, perform testing and debugging, and increase system efficiency. Documentation: Create comprehensive documentation and maintenance procedures for implemented systems and algorithms. Generative AI Applications: Develop and implement generative AI technologies for applications such as content generation, conversational systems, and interactive user experiences. Emerge Technologies: Adapt machine learning methodologies to areas like artificial intelligence, image processing, and other modern technologies to promote solutions. Cloud-Based Solutions: Deploy scalable solutions in cloud-based environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, and GCP).
