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:

1. Initial call with recruiter (30 mins)
2. Conversation with Founder (30 mins)
3. Technical assessment or on-site interview
4. Team meeting (can be combined with stage 3)
