Are you passionate about building scalable AI and machine learning systems that power world-leading research and healthcare platforms?
Do you enjoy turning cutting-edge NLP, search, recommendation, and Generative AI innovations into reliable, secure, and production-ready solutions that create real-world impact?
About our Team
Our global team support products education electronic health records that introduce students to digital charting and prepare them to document care in today’s modern clinical environment. We have a very stable product that we’ve worked to get to and strive to maintain. Our team values trust, respect, collaboration, agility, and quality.
About the Role
Join the team that powers Elsevier’s research platforms—Scopus/Scopus AI, ScienceDirect/ScienceDirect AI, and journal submission & peer review workflows. You will bridge Data Science and Engineering to turn experimental NLP/IR/GenAI models into secure, reliable, and scalable services. Our systems operate over one of the world’s largest scholarly corpora, so you’ll work on AI-based features (GenAI, Agentic AI, RAG, etc.) search/ranking quality, and knowledge graph aware retrieval while enforcing content rights and editorial confidentiality.
Key Responsibilities
ML & LLM Engineering, Search and Recommendation Engines
- Automate and orchestrate machine learning workflows across major cloud and AI platforms (AWS, Azure, Databricks, and foundation model APIs such as OpenAI)
