Taguig, Philippines Socium - Teams Done Differently Full time

Director - APAC | Women and Youth in Tech Advocate

About the Client:

A leading IT firm based in Taguig.

About the role:

As the Head of the Applied AI team, your work is to discover, invent, solve, and prototype. From devising experiments and building robust implementations to designing new algorithms, you’ll lead a small team of AI Engineers and work on applying artificial intelligence to critically important, often ambiguous, problems.

This is a hybrid role.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Attract and develop a diverse team of ML/AI experts, guiding and coaching them on all aspects of their research. Foster a collaborative environment for brainstorming, advising, and knowledge sharing.
  • Partner on the technical vision and strategy for our different early-stage and early investigation projects; co-design and co-lead a technical roadmap.
  • Develop, implement, and deploy robust, scalable ML/AI solutions for real-world problems across multiple projects and scientific domains, utilizing state-of-the-art developments and techniques with a focus on foundation models and transformer architectures.
  • Design and build hybrid AI models, potentially integrating LLMs with other tools and techniques (e.g., graph-based ML, reinforcement learning).
  • Provide research and engineering leadership on early explorations: defining problem scope, identifying optimal AI/ML approaches, and evaluating their merits.
  • Guide data strategy and contribute to ML pipeline development and system evaluation.
  • Contribute to code reviews, establish best practices for ML engineering, and optimize code for performance and scalability.

Key Qualifications:

  • Relevant Degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related technical field.
  • Experience leading a team of research scientists and in mentoring and guiding junior researchers or engineers.
  • Experience in applying ML/AI techniques to complex problems.
  • Experience in AI Architecture is a must for this position.
  • Strong, hands-on experience with LLMs/Transformers, including their theoretical underpinnings and practical application in post-training (e.g., fine-tuning, RLHF, prompting, agent development).
  • Experience deploying backend LLM applications.
  • Proficiency in Python and deep experience with ML/Deep Learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, HuggingFace, LangChain).

It’d be great if you also had these:

  • Experience with graph-based machine learning techniques.
  • Meaningful experience or a strong understanding of applying AI/ML in another scientific discipline, such as biology, psychology, neuroscience, or a related field.
  • Demonstrable research experience, evidenced by contributions to projects, and ideally through publications in relevant ML/NLP venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP).
  • Industry experience in a startup or fast-paced R&D environment.

Client can offer:

  • Opportunity to lead and shape the future of a global brand in a key market
  • Competitive compensation and performance incentives
  • Worldwide exposure and access to cross-border projects and leadership programs
  • Supportive and inclusive culture that values innovation and diversity

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior Tech leader looking to make a strategic impact in a collaborative, stakeholder-driven environment. If this sounds like the right fit for you, we encourage you to connect for a confidential discussion.
