Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • Build and own end-to-end machine learning pipelines spanning data collection, training, evaluation, inference, and production deployment for a proactive AI smart assistant.
  • • Fine-tune and adapt large language models using state-of-the-art methods including LoRA, QLoRA, SFT, DPO, and model distillation to improve task performance and reliability.
  • • Architect and operate scalable inference systems that balance latency, cost, and reliability under real-world production constraints.
  • • Design and maintain high-quality data systems for both synthetic and real-world training data to support model training and evaluation.
  • • Implement comprehensive evaluation pipelines that measure model performance, robustness, safety, and bias in partnership with research leadership.
  • • Own production deployment of ML systems, including GPU optimization, memory efficiency improvements, quantization, mixed precision, and scaling policies.
  • • Collaborate closely with application engineering teams to integrate ML systems cleanly into backend, mobile, and desktop product environments.
  • • Make pragmatic trade-offs to ship iterative improvements quickly, learning from real user interactions and production feedback.
  • • Operate under strict production constraints including low-latency requirements, cost efficiency, system reliability, and safety compliance.
  • • Translate research direction into production-grade ML systems with a focus on long-running workflows, persistent context, and real-world task completion.
  • • Ensure model behavior remains reliable despite non-deterministic outputs by implementing robust error handling, fallback mechanisms, and monitoring.
  • • Develop and maintain evaluation tooling to continuously assess model behavior across diverse use cases and edge scenarios.
  • • Optimize inference systems for multi-step reasoning and external tool interactions critical to the assistant’s ability to complete complex workflows.
  • • Work independently in an ambiguous, zero-to-one environment to define and execute technical roadmaps for ML infrastructure.
  • • Contribute to a high-talent-density team that values rapid iteration, collective decision-making, and shipping high-quality, magical user experiences.

🎯 Requirements

  • • Strong background in deep learning and transformer-based architectures.
  • • Hands-on experience training, fine-tuning, or deploying large-scale ML models in production.
  • • Proficiency with at least one modern ML framework (e.g. PyTorch, JAX), and ability to learn others quickly.
  • • Experience with distributed training and inference frameworks (e.g. DeepSpeed, FSDP, Megatron, ZeRO, Ray).
  • • Strong software engineering fundamentals – you write robust, maintainable, production-grade systems.
  • • Experience with GPU optimization, including memory efficiency, quantization, and mixed precision.

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Opportunity to work on a high-impact AI product bringing practical intelligence to billions of users.
  • • Collaborate with a high-talent-density, hands-on team that values rapid iteration and collective decision-making.
  • • Work in an environment that prioritizes shipping high-quality work while learning from real user feedback.
  • • Transparent and efficient interview process with prompt decision-making.
