Description

AI Engineer II 

  

Own Your Impact. At Propio, we don't believe careers happen to people. We believe people create them.


Here, you're trusted to make decisions, challenge assumptions, drive innovation, and shape outcomes. Your success is not limited by hierarchy or tenure. It's fueled by your ambition, your curiosity, and your willingness to own your impact. If you're looking for a role where you can simply maintain the status quo, this probably isn't it, but if you're looking for a place where your ideas matter, your growth is accelerated, and your work creates meaningful impact across the world, we'd love to talk.


Why Propio?

Every day, communication changes lives. A patient receives care they otherwise couldn't access. A family gains critical information. A business connects with a customer. A community becomes more inclusive. These moments happen because barriers are removed. And behind those moments are Propio team members who show up every day to solve problems, innovate, and build the future. This isn't just work. This is world impact.


As an AI Engineer II, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the continued growth and transformation of Propio.


You'll be empowered to:

  • Take ownership of important initiatives and outcomes.
  • Drive meaningful business results.
  • Influence decisions and contribute new ideas.
  • Partner with talented, high-performing team members.
  • Challenge yourself through continuous learning and growth.
  • Help shape the future of a rapidly growing  organization.

What You'll Own 

The AI Engineer II will design and optimize machine learning solutions that enhance Propio's translation and localization capabilities, working closely with the translation team and the AI Engineers. This role focuses on developing neural machine translation models optimized for low-resource and specialized languages, improving post-editing workflows, and integrating AI seamlessly with linguist workflows to deliver faster and more accurate translations. 

  • Design, train, and deploy neural machine translation (NMT) systems for multilingual scenarios, with emphasis on low-diffusion languages. 
  • Optimize models for low-resource and specialized domain languages, leveraging techniques like transfer learning and few-shot adaptation. 
  • Collaborate with the LLM AI Engineer to integrate large language models into translation pipelines and compare approaches for different language pairs. 
  • Develop post-editing and quality assurance tools to augment human translators, incorporating human-in-the-loop feedback. 
  • Work closely with linguists, product managers, and engineers to integrate AI into translation pipelines and gather domain feedback. 
  • Continuously evaluate and benchmark model performance using standardized metrics (BLEU, COMET) and custom domain-specific metrics. 
  • Stay current with research advancements in multilingual NLP and low-resource translation techniques. 


What Makes Someone Successful Here

The most successful people at Propio aren't necessarily the ones with the longest resumes. They're the people who:

  • Take ownership instead of waiting for direction.
  • Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow.
  • Continuously seek better ways of working.
  • Turn ideas into action.
  • Hold themselves and others accountable to high standards.
  • Are driven by making a measurable impact.

Requirements

What You'll Bring 

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, Statistics, or related field.
  • Strong background in NLP and machine translation systems. 
  • Proven experience optimizing models for low-resource or underrepresented languages. 
  • Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face). 
  • Experience with multilingual datasets, translation quality evaluation, and human feedback incorporation. 

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Prior work in translation, interpretation, summarization, or cross-lingual QA
  • Contributions to open-source NLP projects and translation quality projects
  • Experience working with speech-to-text pipelines or multimodal systems

  

Even if your experience doesn't perfectly match every qualification, we encourage you to apply. We're looking for potential, drive, and a commitment to growth as much as experience.
