Our Client
They are reducing the cost of building LLM. They are hiring a Founding Machine Learning Engineer. Their model router comes out of NLP research and they raised $9M from the likes of General Catalyst (Stripe, Airbnb) and NEA (Databricks, Salesforce). All of their sales have been inbound—they haven’t had to reach out to large enterprise customers; they have reached out for their product.
About the Role:
Building a good model-router is technically challenging. It requires training reward models from human feedback, developing more effective routing models, reducing model costs, and hosting models in a production-ready way. In this role you will:
- Work alongside the founders to develop model-routing technology and bring it into production, shaping the direction of the product.
- Lead a team of ML engineers who left companies like Google and Microsoft.
- Introduce new techniques, tools, and architecture that improve the performance, latency, throughput, and efficiency of our deployed models.
You'll thrive in this role if you:
- Have an understanding of modern ML architectures and an intuition for how to optimize their performance, particularly for inference.
- Worked on model evaluation, coding in Pytorch, and using LLMs in production.
- Have a good intuition for when off-the-shelf solutions will work and build tools to accelerate your own workflow quickly if they won’t. Stay scrappy to get the job done.
- Can figure out what the most important problems are, own those problems end-to-end, and are willing to pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to solve that problem.
- Have at least 3 years of professional ML engineering experience or equivalent.
