About the role

About Fathom:

We think it’s insane that so many people and businesses rely on notes to remember and share insights from their meetings.

Notes are time-consuming and stressful to create while trying to hold a conversation. Even when done well, notes are a poor solution compared to hearing something first-hand.

We started Fathom to rid us all of the tyranny of note-taking, and people seem to really love what we've built so far:

🥇 #1 Highest Satisfaction Product of 2024 on G2

🔥 #1 Rated on G2 with 1,900+ reviews and a perfect 5/5 rating

🥇 #1 Product of the Day and #2 AI Product of the Year

🚀 Most installed AI meeting assistant on both the Zoom and HubSpot marketplaces

📈 We’re hitting usage and revenue records every week

We're growing incredibly quickly, so we're looking to grow our small but mighty team.

Role Overview:

As an AI Engineer at Fathom, you'll be hands-on with LLMs, prototyping and refining our features. Your work will directly shape our product by generating practical specifications that steer our engineering team towards impactful updates and novel capabilities.

This role is open to the US only, and does require 3 days per week in-office in San Francisco, California.

    • Explored some of the most interesting datasets held privately today.
  • By 90 Days, you will have
    • Prototyped new AI features that address valuable use cases.
    • Fine-tuned models that exceed general frontier models for our specific needs.
    • Developed new processes to speed-up how we migrate to new AI models.

Show off in your application! (Important)

When applying, include a quick demo of something you made with LLMs that you’re really excited about. It should showcase your fit for the role. Include it in any form you’d like (such as a link to a short video or a repo).

Requirements:

  • Foundational analytics (able to manipulate data in Python or SQL).

Soft Skills:

  • Attention to detail, and a high level of scrutiny for impactful applications of LLMs.
  • Curiosity-driven and pragmatic with a focus on delivering results.
