- Work closely with other ML/AI engineers, infrastructure engineers, designers, and cofounders on existing and future products
Qualifications
- 6+ years in machine learning experience
- Experience shipping ML-based products is required
- Experience in large-language model evaluation and post-training is required
- Experience in audio / voice ML is a plus
