  • 5+ years experience as an Engineer focused on Machine Learning
  • High proficiency with modern machine learning concepts like deep learning, natural language processing, multimodal models, reinforcement learning, fine-tuning, with expertise in one or more areas
  • Experience with model training pipelines and model architectures (e.g. Transformers, RNNs)

  • Experience working with vector databases (e.g. Chroma, Pinecone)
  • Adept with cloud application architectures and services such as Google Cloud Platform or Amazon Web Services
  • Experience developing software products in a startup or highly lean environments

  • Excitement to build AI-driven products that can impact future experiences on the web
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and the unknown

Bonus

  • Experience building scalable applications with 100k+ users 
  • Experience with data security fundamentals and best practices
  • Experience with building pipelines for prompt engineering strategies and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
  • Experience with ML development frameworks such as Langchain
  • Experience integrating solutions into modern web frameworks such as React / Svelte
  • Experience with other web programming languages such as Javascript.
  • Familiarity with Data Science or Data Infrastructure principles

What you’ll get:

  • Generous performance-based bonus plans to all eligible employees - we share in our success as one team
  • Rich medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Generous retirement contributions with 100% immediate vesting (regardless of whether you contribute)
