Staff GenAI Research Scientist

You might be a good fit if you…

• Have 2+ years of full time experience in an industry research lab or equivalent academic experience.
• Have produced novel research related to topics of practical importance in contemporary AI, such as training generative AI models like LLMs and text-to-image models, improving upon pre-trained models, evaluating these models, etc.
• Have specialized expertise in topics like fine-tuning, RLHF, LLM tool-use, etc.
• Are comfortable working with large-scale LLMs in the 10s to 100s of billions of parameters.
• Have strong foundations in software engineering and empirical research.
• Are passionate about getting your work into the hands of real users and - more broadly - democratizing access to modern AI technology.
• Have strong communication skills and a desire to work on a small, fast-paced team.

A PhD is NOT required for this role. We are open to hiring candidates with bachelor's and master's degrees and to new graduates. We are open to hiring candidates who are currently in "research engineer" roles at other companies. 

Your Responsibilities

• Keeping up to date with the research literature and thinking beyond the state of the art to address the needs of our users.
• Developing and implementing methods that improve training efficiency and extend or improve model capabilities, reliability, and safety.
