Your role:We are looking for highly skilled Software Engineers to work on our cutting-edge Conversational AI system for the Drive-Thru. Our team uses linguistic expertise, software engineering skills, and data-driven approaches to solve complex Natural Language Understanding (NLU), Knowledge Representation (Ontology), Dialog Management, and Natural Language Generation (NLG) problems. 
This is a hands-on technical role where you will spend time designing, coding, and implementing software solutions for the NLP components at WatsonX Orders. You will also take ownership of the architecture and design of foundational parts of the NLP code to help us scale our product to multiple clients and languages.
Responsibilities:Partner with computational linguists, machine learning experts, and domain experts to improve the core functionality of our Conversational AI. Proactively identify opportunities to enhance system scalability, reliability, and performance through architectural enhancements and optimizations. Address technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and other quality issues through systematic testing and refactoring. Contribute to our work moving from an in-memory product database to a cloud-based solution for managing our Ontology data. Actively maintain standards and best practices at IBM WatsonX Orders, including policy judgments about code style, documentation, and library use.
