We are a small startup founded by students seeking a proficient Machine Learning Engineer skilled in open-source LLM, NLP, and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation). The ideal candidate will have experience in deploying bots on Telegram.

In essence, our goal is to develop a bot capable of solving typical exam tasks. The exam is humanitarian and straightforward, requiring no special skills. We have all the necessary materials and clear instructions to be uploaded to a knowledge base via the API we want you to develop.

While this project won't consume extensive time (3 weeks max), establishing a strong foundation could pave the way for long-term relations if executed excellently!!

We are in pursuit of a professional who not only performs tasks proficiently and efficiently but also offers valuable advice, shares opinions, and devises creative solutions. Most importantly, we aim to have this bot deployed by the first of May (ideally).

Skills required:
- Proficiency in developing and integrating AI models to process and generate answers for typical exam tasks
- Ability to develop an API that will connect the Telegram bot with the AI model efficiently
- Willingness to provide advice and creative ideas to enhance the functionality and performance of the bot
- Understanding of how to optimize the Telegram bot to handle a high volume of users effectively.
- Capability to work with provided materials and guides on exam-solving techniques, ensuring they are uploaded into the API's knowledge base for the bot's reference.
- Readiness to assist in selecting the appropriate AI model for the project, whether it be OpenAI or Saiga, based on project requirements and objectives
- Ability to connect additional AI services such as Google Vision or alternatives to enhance the bot's capabilities

Additional Considerations:
- Experience with Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques for understanding and processing exam tasks.
- Familiarity with security protocols to safeguard user data and ensure privacy
- Flexibility to adapt to project requirements and implement changes as necessary
- Effective communication skills and willingness to collaborate with a team of developers (be prepared to explain complex concepts in simple terms to non-professionals :) )
- Commitment to meeting deadlines and delivering results
