Role Overview

As an AI Engineer at Fathom, you'll be hands-on with LLMs, prototyping and refining our features. Your work will directly shape our product by generating practical specifications that steer our engineering team towards impactful updates and novel capabilities.

This role is open to the US only, and does require 3 days per week in-office in San Francisco, California.

What you’ll do

• By 30 Days, you will have

  • Upgraded existing features to be smarter and/or faster by combining your prompt engineering experience with the latest available models.

  • Improved or created new evaluations for our existing features.

• By 90 Days, you will have

  • Prototyped new AI features that address valuable use cases.

  • Fine-tuned models for our specific needs.

  • Developed new processes to speed-up how we migrate to new AI models.

Show off in your application! (Important)

When applying, include a quick demo of something you made with LLMs that you’re really excited about. It should showcase your fit for the role. Include it in any form you’d like (such as a link to a short video or a repo).

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN US

• Startup experience. You’ll work closely with our CEO, a 2X Founder/CEO with a background in computer science and product design.

• We embrace being fully remote. We schedule meetings sparingly and instead heavily use async comms (Slack, Notion, Loom)

ABOUT THE INTERVIEW

• You’ll meet the entire team. We think it’s important that you get to meet everyone you’ll be working with.

• No bullshit. Ask us anything you like. We’ve never understood why companies pretend they’re something that they’re not in the hiring process - you’re going to find out eventually so we’d rather you know who we are up front so we can both make sure this is a good fit for all involved.

• Quick turnaround time. We know you have lots of options so we move fast usually in less than a week from start to finish.
