This a hybrid position in Seattle, WA or New York, NY. We are onsite 3+ days per week.
What you'll do:

Who you are:

You're an experienced
machine learning engineer
with broad knowledge and skills in natural language processing (NLP). You're detail-oriented when it matters to make sure things get done right, but also know how to strike the balance between speed and perfection in a fast-moving startup environment. You:

  • Know the pitfalls and tricks for building with LLMs, especially RAG systems.
  • Have experience with the level of obsession over detail needed to produce high quality ML systems.
  • Are experienced and comfortable building backend systems and working across a code base, not just in Jupyter notebooks.
