• Assist teams in continuously improving the performance and reliability of released AI-powered features through iterative development and testing.

Your Equipment

• Verifiable ands-on experience in applying AI models and tools, whether for personal experimentation or solving real-world problems, and the ability to find and exploit capabilities of models through hands-on experience.
• Familiarity with popular AI frameworks and libraries, such as Hugging Face, LangChain, Llamaindex, and LMStudio.
• Proficiency in Python or JavaScript, and an understanding of the growing importance of human-written code in orchestrating and supplanting LLM power.
• First experience with retrieval augmented generation solutions and or multi-agent solutions.
• Understanding of the importance of systematic and automated evaluation efforts.
• Understanding of fundamental software engineering best practices, including version control, testing, and deployment.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think creatively.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team.
• Curiosity and a genuine passion for AI and a strong interest in its potential applications.

Bonus points for this role:

• If you have any experience with fine-tuning or working with production-ready GraphRAG solutions, that's a plus!
• Familiarity with productionizing AI models and integrating them into user-facing applications is a nice-to-have.
• While not required, exposure to cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure, and their AI services, can be beneficial.
• If you have any contributions to open-source AI projects or a portfolio of personal AI projects on GitHub, we'd love to see them!

Whether you are an experienced professional or a motivated starter, if you are passionate about harnessing the power of AI to build groundbreaking products and have some hands-on experience in software engineering, we would love to hear from you. Join our team and help us push the boundaries of what's possible with AI!
