  • You enjoy hard problems and open-ended assignments
  • You use data to make decisions, and experiment your way around hard problems

Bonus points

  • You've developed products with LLMs before (extra if you've already built your own agents)
  • You have fine-tuned foundational models to tailor responses to specific data use cases
  • You have experience with LlamaIndex and Memgraph to produce knowledge graphs

Perks and benefits

  • The best equipment and tools, like a spec'd out MacBook, and dev prod tools like Cursor, Claude, and Linear to help you move fast
  • Flexible work arrangements with in-office work or hybrid work for the right candidate
  • Our current office is in San Francisco, just steps from Caltrain
