Data Analyst/AI Scientist (Brno Office, Czech Republic)

Do you like the idea of a brand new team where you have the opportunity to influence your future way of working? Are you attracted to the idea of a virtual assistant which is more than just a wrapper on top of somebody else’s large language model technology? We are building a team to develop and deliver Red Hat’s own flavor of large language model to power our product-supporting virtual assistants, and we’re looking for people like you.

Be prepared to work in a highly distributed environment which is somewhat unshaped and very fast paced, adding a bit of startup freshness and agility to our corporate stability. This is a dual role: while wearing a Data Analyst hat, you’ll elevate the fine-tuning and evaluation of our large language models (LLM), and oversee all facets of human data management, ensuring seamless operations and high-quality, diverse, and scalable data collection. At other times, wearing an AI Scientist hat, you’ll use your expertise with generative AI to fine tune and evaluate large language models using Red Hat’s unique knowledge and expertise.

You will be part of a broader ecosystem which gives Red Hat customers and the open source community the ability to be self-sufficient in deploying and operating virtual assistants for Red Hat products. For this, we need highly collaborative and self-driven individuals who seek to have broad impact.

What you will do

• Lead and coordinate LLM data collection and labeling projects..
• Collaborate with the data science team to maintain and enhance the human feedback annotation tools.
• Establish and manage operational processes for human data management.
• Drive execution of human data initiatives, including drafting labeling guidelines, reviewing data, and optimizing for quality, diversity, and volume—while improving tooling and processes for greater efficiency.
• Deliver clear evaluation reporting through dashboards and data analysis.
• Create and maintain a broad network of people with whom you partner with to achieve your objectives.
• Modify pre-trained large language models to make their responses fit for the intended purpose. Design, run, and analyze scientific experiments to constantly improve our fine tuning results.
• Explore and experiment with emerging AI technologies relevant to software development, proactively identifying opportunities to incorporate new AI capabilities into existing workflows and tooling.

What you will bring

• Excellent English written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience with Generative AI. Possess a solid understanding of how LLMs function, including principles of prompt engineering.
• Experience with distributed version control systems such as Git.
• Excel at managing projects and building strong relationships across internal teams and external partners using both written and verbal communication.
• Experience with Python development, AI, and Machine Learning platforms, tools, and frameworks, such as: Tensorflow, PyTorch, LLaMA.cpp, and Kubeflow.
• Experience with data labeling, collection and analytical workflows is a plus
• Understanding of Generative AI’s elementary concepts, such as prompt tuning, prompt engineering, RAG, tokenization, and chunking is a big plus
• Experience with languages and tools, such as Python and SQL, for data manipulation and analysis is an advantage
