  • Apply cutting-edge NLP advancements to improve Khmer text understanding, including tokenization, word segmentation, and interpretability of model behavior on Khmer.
  • Identify, collect, and curate high-quality, diverse datasets in Khmer for LLM training, validation, and testing.                     
  • Build and maintain scalable data pipelines for large-scale collection, cleaning, deduplication, and filtering of Khmer text.                    
  • Generate and curate synthetic and augmented Khmer data to address gaps in low-resource domains.       
  • Train and fine-tune Large Language Models using extensive Khmer datasets.                     
  • Optimize LLM performance for tasks such as text generation, summarization, translation, question answering, and sentiment analysis in Khmer.                                        
  • Collaborate closely with MLOps Engineers to integrate trained LLMs.                     
  • Work on containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) of LLM services.                     
  • Build and maintain data visualization and analytics pipelines to monitor model performance, training metrics, and data quality using enterprise big data tools.                    
  • Design and implement rigorous evaluation methodologies and metrics tailored for Khmer LLMs.                     
  • Conduct comprehensive testing and analysis to identify model biases, ethical concerns, and areas for improvement.                    

JOB REQUIREMENTS

  • Understanding of Khmer linguistics and script characteristics, including word segmentation and tokenization challenges.                                    
  • Knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and software engineering best practices.                                    
  • Minimum of 3+ years of hands-on experience in Natural Language Processing (NLP) or Machine Learning engineering.                                    
  • Proven experience working with Large Language Models (LLMs), including pre-training, fine-tuning, or deployment.                                    
  • Strong proficiency in Python and relevant NLP/ML libraries                                    
  • Experience with cloud platforms for training and deploying ML models.                                    
  • Experience building and managing large-scale datasets and data pipelines.                                    
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset, with attention to detail in experimentation and evaluation.                                    
  • Clear communicator, able to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
