Requirements
- We’re training and deploying frontier models for developers and enterprises who are building AI systems to power magical experiences like content generation, semantic search, RAG, and agents.
- We believe that our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI.
- Our mission is to push machine learning forward through open, collaborative research and hands-on experimentation.
- We work on frontier problems in NLP and AI while creating space for researchers and engineers from different backgrounds to contribute, learn, and grow.
- We focus on advancing machine learning while expanding access to applied research training and global collaboration.
- We pursue this mission in two ways: - Creating open, collaborative research spaces where engineers and researchers work side-by-side on ambitious ML problems. - Expanding access to applied research training, helping early-career engineers grow into strong research contributors.
- We care more about curiosity, strong fundamentals, and a willingness to learn quickly in a fast-moving research environment.
- You may be a fit if you: - Have a strong engineering background in machine learning, NLP, or related areas (through a Master’s degree, industry experience, or equivalent hands-on work). - Enjoy writing clean, reliable code and building systems that others can use and extend. - Are comfortable experimenting, running ablations, analyzing results, and iterating quickly. - Have
- experience with deep learning frameworks and model optimization techniques (PyTorch, distributed training, RLHF, finetuning, evaluation frameworks) - Like collaborating closely with researchers and translating ideas into practical implementations. - Are excited to grow your research instincts while staying grounded in engineering excellence.
