About the Role

As a Research Scientist at Entropia, you will research and develop improvements to our existing AI systems and design new AI-native features for our customers. We are looking for individuals with past research experience that are excited about translating research into tangible outcomes and new product experiences.

This role is based in Paris, France. We mainly use an in-person work model, with a flexible work-from-home policy.

Responsibilities

Research Scientists at Entropia may work on the following:

• Design of Innovative AI Solutions: Propose innovative solutions based on new AI technologies (continuing the pre-training of small language models, building datasets & benchmarks for specialised industries, aligning multimodal models with business-specific inputs/outputs, etc.) to optimise or automate existing processes. Lead R&D projects aimed at developing new methods in artificial intelligence to improve the security and auditability of automated business processes.
• Development of Prototypes: Design and build prototypes to test and validate innovative concepts before industrialisation.
• Deployment of Developed Solutions: Support the implementation of projects, ensuring effective coordination with various stakeholders (IT team, business units, infrastructure, etc.).
• Technology Watch: Weekly review of the latest major advancements published in AI, particularly in the fields of small language models (SLMs), multimodal models, and alignment techniques (DPO, IPO, Abliteration, etc.), as well as attending or participating in conferences.
• R&D Project Management: Plan and coordinate R&D activities, ensuring compliance with deadlines and allocated budgets.

Candidates should have 4+ years of experience (post-PhD), and must have operated in a Tech Lead, or Research Lead capacity in prior work. Additionally, you may be a strong fit for this role if you:

• Are excited about redefining knowledge work through an AI-native lens.
• Can translate open-ended problems into actionable, short-term goals and execute on them aggressively.
• Communicate both low-level technical details and high-level strategic plans effectively.
