Salary
💰 $185,000 - $340,000 per year
About the role
- Compose together tens to thousands of calls to language models to accomplish tasks that we can't accomplish with a single call.
- Curate datasets for finetuning models, e.g. for training models to extract policy conclusions from papers
- Set up evaluation metrics that tell us what changes to our models or training setup are improvements
- Scale up semantic search from a few thousand documents to 100k+ documents
Requirements
- You need to have a strong software engineering background. We want to apply your experience building systems, designing architecture, and thinking about good abstractions. Elicit will need you to do much more than write scripts.
- You must be familiar with language models (training, fine-tuning, evaluation), or have a comparable machine learning or natural language processing background (e.g. experience with information extraction, semantic search)
- You'll need a startup mindset. We expect to measure our impact in part by the people whose lives we improve through reasoning and models of the future. We know you care about that too. You’ll want to test lots of ideas, get feedback, and watch yourself learning and growing every day.
Benefits
- Flexible work environment - work from our office in Oakland or remotely as long as you can travel to work in-person for retreats and coworking events
- Fully covered health, dental, vision, and life insurance for you, generous coverage for the rest of your family
- Flexible vacation policy, with a minimum recommendation of 20 days/year + company holidays
- 401K with a 6% employer match
- A new Mac + $1,000 budget to set up your workstation or home office in your first year, then $500 every year thereafter
- $1,000 quarterly AI Experimentation & Learning budget, so you can freely experiment with new AI tools to incorporate into your workflow, take courses, purchase educational resources, or attend AI-focused conferences and events
- A team administrative assistant that you can delegate personal and work tasks to
- Commuter benefits, a relocation bonus, and more!
