Job Description
THE MISSION
The company isn't just automating tasks; they are building the cognitive engine for the next generation of the web. They build Advanced AI Web Agents capable of navigating the complex, unscripted digital world at an unprecedented scale.
Led by veterans from Meta, Amazon, and Silicon Valley’s elite AI labs, their HCMC hub is the heart of our technical innovation. They are looking for a foundational ML Tech Lead to architect the systems that allow AI to think, adapt, and act across millions of digital interfaces. We are also looking for high-caliber Vietnamese talent—including overseas graduates and returnees—who want to bring world-class expertise back home to build the future of Agentic AI.
THE CHALLENGE
As a Tech Lead, you will own the frontier of Agentic AI. You won’t just be fine-tuning models; you’ll be solving high-stakes engineering puzzles, including:
- Autonomous Reasoning: Building real-time infra for AI decision-making in "noisy" environments.
- Adversarial Engineering: Designing "stealth" systems to operate seamlessly across the global web.
- Hyper-Scale Orchestration: Managing thousands of headless browsers with ultra-low latency.
- Rapid Prototyping: Moving from "impossible" to "Proof of Concept" in days, not months.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Architect the Future: Define the technical roadmap for our ML practice in Vietnam and influence our global strategy.
- Lead by Example: Remain hands-on in the code—prototyping, training, and deploying deep neural networks.
- Global Collaboration: Partner daily with our US-based teams to align high-level product vision with boots-on-the-ground execution.
- Scale the Culture: Mentor a high-performance team, fostering a culture of high ownership, technical excellence, and "product-first" thinking.
WHO YOU ARE
- A Technical Visionary: You don’t just follow a ticket; you drive direction using data-driven reasoning and a long-term view.
- Ambiguity-Friendly: You thrive in the "zero-to-one" phase of a startup where the answers aren't always in the documentation.
- Expert Practitioner: You have a deep intuition for how $ML$ systems behave in production, not just in research papers.
QUALIFICATIONS
The Essentials:
- Academic Foundation: Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field. (PhD is preferred)
- Experience: 8+ years of software engineering experience (or 4+ years post-PhD).
- Deep Learning Expertise: Strong track record of scaling systems using PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
- Communication: Professional English fluency is required. You must be comfortable defending technical decisions and collaborating with global stakeholders in English.
- Leadership: Proven ability to lead large-scale engineering efforts and plan multi-year technical roadmaps.
The "Plus" Factors:
- Experience training or fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) for specific business outcomes.
- Deep knowledge of Information Retrieval (indexing, ranking, and vector databases).
- A background in Optimization, Data Structures, and Algorithms.
- International Mindset: Vietnamese nationals who have studied or worked abroad (US, UK, Singapore, Australia, etc.) and are looking to make a massive impact in the local ecosystem.
WHY JOIN US?
- Silicon Valley in Saigon: Work in a flat hierarchy with the same standards, speed, and compensation philosophy as a top-tier US startup.
- Foundational Impact: You are not just a hire; you are a pillar of our ML practice in Vietnam.
- Relocation Support: We provide comprehensive support for Vietnamese professionals returning from abroad.
