Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • Build and operate large-scale data ingestion systems for training frontier AI models, including web crawling, data extraction, normalization, versioning, and delivery to pre-training pipelines.
  • • Design and implement specialized crawlers for high-priority data sources to acquire high-quality, diverse datasets from the open web and other large-scale sources.
  • • Run experiments to evaluate crawling strategies, extraction methods, and ingestion tradeoffs, using measurable downstream impact on model performance to guide iterations.
  • • Analyze ingested datasets to identify gaps, redundancy, and quality issues, and propose improvements to enhance training corpus effectiveness.
  • • Develop scalable, observable, testable, and maintainable ingestion pipelines capable of handling multi-TB to PB-scale data campaigns.
  • • Collaborate directly with AI researchers, pre-training teams, and data quality engineers to close the loop between data acquisition and model performance outcomes.
  • • Debug production issues in ingestion infrastructure and continuously improve system reliability, efficiency, and performance.
  • • Review code and contribute to engineering standards across the data ingestion stack, ensuring robustness and reproducibility in data pipelines.
  • • Work with technologies such as Ray, Beam, Spark, or similar distributed systems to manage complex data acquisition workflows.
  • • Communicate system behavior, design tradeoffs, and experimental results clearly to cross-functional teams including researchers, operations, and external partners.
  • • Contribute to defining the foundation of open superintelligence by building the data infrastructure that enables training of next-generation foundational models.
  • • Operate in a hybrid research–engineering environment where data decisions directly influence model capabilities and require rapid experimentation and iteration.
  • • Participate in daily team lunches and dinners, regular off-sites, and team celebrations as part of a talent-dense, collaborative culture.
  • • Receive relocation support and flexible paid time off to optimize personal and professional balance.

🎯 Requirements

  • • Experience building web crawling, data ingestion, or large-scale data acquisition systems using Ray, Beam, Spark, or similar technologies.
  • • Familiarity with how LLMs are trained and evaluated, and an intuition for what makes data useful for training.
  • • Comfortable working with very large datasets (multi-TB to PB scale) and building systems that are observable, testable, and maintainable.
  • • Comfortable designing experiments and using data to guide system improvements.
  • • Excellent communication skills; able to explain system behavior and communicate tradeoffs clearly.
  • • Ability to collaborate tightly across functions: researchers, infra, operations, and external partners.

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Top-tier compensation: Salary and equity structured to recognize and retain the best talent globally.
  • • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.
  • • Fully paid parental leave for all new parents, including adoptive and surrogate journeys, with financial support for family planning.
  • • Paid time off when needed, relocation support, and daily lunch and dinner provided.
