The Role:
You will turn cutting-edge AI research into robust products by sitting between the research and applied teams. The work involves taking new model capabilities from concept to scalable, well-documented APIs serving production traffic.
Responsibilities:
- Design and ship customer-facing APIs, owning them from prototype through launch and ongoing iteration.
- Collaborate daily with researchers to productionize new techniques, ensuring the resulting services meet customer expectations for latency and reliability.
- Contribute across the backend stack, including services, inference infrastructure, SDKs, and tooling as needed.
Requirements:
- Strong backend engineering experience with customer-facing APIs in production.
- Comfort operating with ambiguity and misaligned research and product timelines.
- Genuine curiosity about AI/ML to understand models for engineering decisions.
- Strong collaboration skills to work effectively with researchers, applied engineers, and customers.
