Job Description
Ready to own the complete ML stack while reshaping how Generative AI transforms advertising?
Join this start-up as Founding ML Engineer building a Generative AI based advertising platform.
You’ll contribute to a sophisticated solution that leverages consumer interaction data and generative models to create personalized ads across multiple modalities - from language to image and video generation.
Despite being only 5 people strong, they're already generating revenue and have secured seed funding from prestigious investors including a16z. Now they're ready to scale and tackle even more complex challenges with their AI-based system.
In this role, you'll be solving complex technical challenges such as implementing RLHF to enhance system intelligence, advanced prompting and fine-tuning of LLMs, and improving user efficiency. You'll have significant autonomy, owning the entire pipeline and keeping up to date with the state of the art to maintain top-level performance.
The role combines research, development, and experimentation, with approximately 20-30% focused on research, 40% on building and training models, and 30-40% on experimentation, performance improvement and deployments. While primarily focused on language/text, the team works across multiple modalities, so an interest in multimodal applications would be valuable.
Requirements:
- 2+ years industry experience
- Strong expertise in NLP and LLMs (prompting and fine-tuning)
- Experience with RLHF implementations
- Solid foundations in Deep Learning
- Proven track record in building production ML systems
Experience with recommendation systems or ad tech would be beneficial but isn't essential.
Your package includes a base salary of up to $225k (negotiable based on experience), plus a 10% bonus, competitive equity, healthcare benefits, unlimited holiday and more. Total compensation will be adjusted relative to your level of experience.
The role is based on-site in San Francisco, with visa sponsorship available for exceptional candidates.
The interview process is straightforward:
- Initial call with recruiter (30 mins)
- Conversation with Founder (30 mins)
- Technical assessment or on-site interview
- Team meeting (can be combined with stage 3)
