Ok, you're sold, but what are we looking for in the perfect candidate?

• Expertise: You know how to train models. You understand which models work best, and use LLMs only when necessary. You watch out for recall, accuracy, and precision. In other words, you’ve done this before.
• Action oriented: You love to build. You like to ship fast, quickly iterate, and see amazement in users’ eyes.
• Creativity: You enjoy listening to user feedback and then building products in novel ways. You’re resourceful and enjoy finding alternate paths to success.
• Problem solving: you use data to help point you in the correct direction. You optimize relentlessly, and understand the impact you’re making on the business.
• Humility: You’re humble and love working in a team without ego to deliver products
• Adaptability: You thrive in a fast‑moving organization that uses light‑weight processes and cutting‑edge technology to have a huge impact.
• Confidence: You trust your abilities and you’re ready to push yourself to the next level.
• Communication: You are a clear communicator and demonstrated consensus‑builder.

Requirements

• 5+ years in overall Machine Learning experience, with at least three years focused on NLP and Contextual Embeddings.
• Proven record of an end to end workflow and with moving at least one NLP model to an enterprise production system.
• Expert in the understanding, practice, and deployment of state‑of‑the‑art deep neural network models.
• Experience in building and maintaining distributed backend services for ML/AI Applications.
• Strong grasp of CS fundamentals including abstractions, algorithms, probability, data structures and system design is preferred.
• Strong working knowledge of LLMs, including prompting, orchestration, RAG, context and cost management.
• Hands‑on experience designing and implementing evaluation frameworks for LLM‑based systems, including automated evals, human feedback loops, regression testing, and benchmark design.
• We don’t necessarily expect to find a candidate that has done everything listed, but you should be able to make a credible case that you’ve done most of it and are ready for the challenge of adding new skills to your resume.
