WHO WE ARE

Reply is a company that specialises in Consulting, Systems Integration and Digital Services with a focus on the conception, design and implementation of solutions based on the new communication channels and digital media. Reply partners with key industrial groups in defining and developing business models made possible by the new technological and communication paradigms such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Cloud Computing, Digital Communication, the Internet of Things and Mobile and Social Networking.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

• Core activities . You will interview client stakeholders, run structured workshops, and translate business priorities into concrete AI use cases. You will collect functional and technical requirements, assess where relevant data sits and how ready it is for model development, and determine whether a specialized generative model is needed and how it should be developed through the Reply Model Factory across training, pretraining, or post-training paths.
• Technologies. You will work across the lifecycle of specialized Generative AI solutions, from use-case framing and model strategy to dataset definition, experimentation, evaluation, and model adaptation. You will collaborate with teams working on foundation models, pretraining, training, and post-training workflows, evaluation frameworks, cloud environments, and the Reply Model Factory to shape scalable, production-minded AI solutions.
• Team work . You will work closely with client stakeholders, strategists, designers, data scientists, and engineers in cross-functional teams, combining business understanding with technical judgment. We value structured collaboration, clear communication, and continuous learning, including access to the MIT xPRO course Designing and Building AI Products and Services.
