AI Engineer

This role is a bit of a hybrid of engineering // analytics // product management // research. It would suit someone already in an AI Engineering role as well as software engineers or data scientists that have gone deep into LLMs sand building AI features.

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

What you’ll do:

• By 30 Days, you will have
  • Upgraded existing features to be smarter and/or faster by combining your prompt engineering experience with the latest available models.
  • Improved or created new evaluations for our existing features.
  • 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)
