Job Description

About the role:

We are looking for a software engineer to join our product team and help build interfaces and APIs to interact with large language models. You will work with a team of engineers and researchers to design and implement key components of our product and platform.

Responsibilities:

• Build core components of the API to access large language models

• Develop conversational interfaces that leverage the language models
• Optimize the API and interfaces for performance, robustness, and ease of use
• Implement tools and processes to monitor model behavior and performance

You might be a good fit if you:

• Enjoy pair programming (we love to pair!)

Strong candidates may also:

• Have worked with NLP and ML models before and understand their capabilities and limitations
• Have experience with REST APIs
• Have experience with react and frontend frameworks
• Have experience with containerization and DevOps
• Have experience with QA and testing automation

The expected salary range for this position is:

Annual Salary:

$300,000—$405,000 USD

Logistics

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

US visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate; operations roles are especially difficult to support. But if we make you an offer, we will make every effort to get you into the United States, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
