Conduct advanced research in artificial intelligence and machine learning, including deep learning, graphical models, reinforcement learning, computer perception, natural language processing, and data representation. Define complex business problems, design and deliver modeling solutions, evaluate model performance, establish scientific and engineering specifications, and build analytical roadmaps. Assess production implementation requirements, improve data capture methods, apply statistical and mathematical techniques, and resolve root causes and process bottlenecks.
## About the role
Adakerja is seeking a Research Scientist to join our team. In this role, you will be familiar with artificial intelligence, machine learning, computational statistics, and applied mathematics, particularly including areas such as deep learning, graphical models, reinforcement learning, computer perception, natural language processing, and data representation.
You will have a keen interest in producing new science to understand intelligence and technology.
## What you'll do
- Take ownership to define business problems, analyze and design solutions for complex problem areas and/or opportunities in existing or new business initiatives; review model performance during implementation and identify opportunities for improvement
- Own the delivery of modeling solutions; define and prioritize science or engineering specifications for new approaches
- Evaluate cross-team perspectives, use quantitative methods to derive justification, and build consensus on a roadmap on the required level of analyses to meet goals
- Understand how easily a recommended solution can be implemented in a production system and/or operational process
- Understand the various methods for capturing data from systems (e.g., logging, log harvesting, etc.)
- Apply advanced scientific methods and principles, mathematical theory, and/or statistical analysis to improve upon existing approaches. You work to resolve the root cause of problems, including any bottlenecks in the team’s processes

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
