AI Researcher - Foundation Models & Generative AI - Base44

HybridTel Aviv, IsraelFull-timeSenior

We are seeking a highly accomplished AI Researcher to be part of the development of next-generation Foundation Models and Generative AI systems. In this role, you will bridge the gap between cutting-edge academic research and production-grade AI infrastructure. You will build, design, and fine-tune large-scale architectures (including LLMs, Multimodal, and Tabular Foundation Models) while applying them to complex, real-world domains like agentic behavior, coding and decision making.

In your day-to-day, you will

  • Conduct pioneering research in deep learning and generative AI, specializing in Foundation Models, NLP, alignment, and multimodal learning
  • Deal with the impact of the models on production traffic, cost quality and latency
  • Train and scale state-of-the-art architectures using techniques like Post-Training SFT, Knowledge Distillation, LoRA, and sparse/hybrid model architectures
  • Own the AI lifecycle—from algorithmic prototyping and synthetic data generation to deploying production-grade AI features in fast-paced or big-data environments
  • Drive research initiatives, author publications/patents, and collaborate with other research teams to integrate intelligent capabilities into core products
  • 5+ years of experience as a Research Scientist or Algorithm Developer within world-class AI labs or high-growth GenAI startups
  • Ph.D. or Master’s degree with honors in computer science, data science, statistics, or a highly quantitative field from a top-tier institution
  • Expert-level proficiency in PyTorch and deep learning training/inference optimization
  • Hands-on experience training, fine-tuning, or optimizing large-scale LLMs in research or production environments
  • Advanced programming skills in Python and/or C/C++ with experience in production-grade code and big data infrastructure
  • A portfolio of peer-reviewed publications in top-tier AI/ML venues or granted patents in advanced machine learning systems
  • We're Base44, a newly acquired part of Wix, on a mission to redefine how software is built. Our AI-powered platform enables anyone to create custom software applications using natural language—no coding required. Operating like a startup within Wix, we're fast, collaborative, and focused on solving complex problems with simple, powerful solutions.
  • We exist to empower creators, solo founders, startups, entrepreneurs, and side hustlers to bring their ideas to life. Whether you're launching a product, validating a concept, or exploring a new idea, Base44 is here to help you build it.
  • We're growing rapidly, the potential is immense, and with your expertise, we can drive user-driven growth to new heights.
