Are proficient in Python and have experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or Jax

Have a strong software engineering background and are interested in working closely with researchers and other engineers

Enjoy pair programming (we love to pair!)

Care about code quality, testing, and performance

Are passionate about the potential impact of AI and are committed to developing safe and beneficial systems

Strong candidates may also:

Have a strong background in machine learning, reinforcement learning, or high performance computing

Have experience with virtualization and sandboxed code execution environments

Have experience with Kubernetes

Have contributed to open-source projects or published research papers in relevant fields

Candidates need not have:

Formal certifications or education credentials

Experience with LLMs or machine learning research before

Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
