We’re looking for software engineers to help us build models vastly more capable than GPT-3, CLIP, and DALL-E. We train our models on some of the largest machine learning supercomputers in the world, which requires a team with deep software engineering expertise in order to extract maximum performance.
The challenges we face are difficult, but are similar in shape to those you’d see at a growing web startup. We’re constantly improving the instropectability and reliability of our systems, finding new performance bottlenecks, and designing better abstractions for managing our code. We sweat the details, making sure we understand every piece of our system, but are also pragmatic — we’ll sometimes pause further progress to perfect our tooling to understand a new issue, and sometimes we’ll just ignore weirdness or instabilities in order to continue training our models. Our stack is primarily Python + Kubernetes.
No machine learning experience is required — we can teach you whatever ML you need — but we look for depth of software and infrastructure experience. This role is not a support role; you’ll be expected to be self-directed and find the most important problems to solve while working in close concert with a team with a shared goal.
We look for a track record of the following:
