Job Description

The Role

We're hiring several AI/ML Engineers for the Synthetic Data Platform team. This is a greenfield project, an exciting new market and a key part of Cint’s 2026 product strategy. You will build models with a deep understanding of how respondents answer surveys. These will underpin new products which will be best-in-class for the industry, including:

• Survey Augmentation: filling missing responses to surveys

• Audience Profiling: predicting respondent characteristics from signals we have

• Agentic Insights: answering a client’s research questions using insights from existing data

The Team

You'll join our AI/ML team in Prague, working alongside engineers on augmentation and profile modelling, the data science team, and a product manager who owns the Synthetic Data roadmap. Customer pilots are already running, and feedback from those pilots shapes the roadmap.

Qualifications

What You'll Do:

• Build production augmentation and profile models: Design, train, evaluate, and deploy models against real survey data, owning the full path from experiment to production.

• Innovate on solutions: We aim to build the best simulation of survey responses in the industry. You'll design the experiments, baselines, and models to get us there.

• Use the latest technology: Build on the best open-weights LLMs with fine-tuning, build new ones from scratch with custom architectures or use third party models through an API; whatever gets us the best result.

• Partner with Data Science: Work with the data science team to ensure integrity of our statistical testing and experiment framework.

• Leverage AI tooling: Use Claude Code and agentic programming tools where appropriate.

What You Bring:

• Excellent programming skills and be proficient in Python. Knowledge of Java is a plus.

• Knowledge of traditional machine learning tools and techniques (support vector machines, gradient boosting)

• An understanding of LLMs and their architecture, ideally with experience in fine-tuning, e.g. LoRA, distillation

• Proficient in SQL, knowledge of Databricks is a plus

• Familiarity with cloud technologies, e.g. AWS

• Outstanding problem-solving and analytical skills

• Knowledge of maths, probability, statistics and algorithms

• You like to push the limits of your knowledge every day

• You own your conclusions and are comfortable presenting them and shaping outcomes
