Role Description
Thinking Machines is looking for a GenAI Engineer with a passion for
Generative AI
. You will be working on cutting-edge projects that leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) in building innovative conversational AI solutions. You'll tackle challenges like prompt engineering, model optimization, and ensuring seamless integration with existing systems. Your work will directly contribute to the creation of intelligent, responsive, and user-friendly AI solutions. If you're excited about the potential of GenAI and have the skills to bring it to life, we encourage you to apply

As a GenAI Engineer, you'll be a key player in creating cutting-edge conversational AI solutions. You'll harness the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) to design, build, and deploy innovative solutions that redefine how people interact with technology.

This role goes beyond just model development. You'll be involved in the entire lifecycle of GenAI, from brainstorming and prototyping to deploying and monitoring production-ready systems. A core focus will be on building robust and reliable systems that can handle real-world demands. Think user-facing applications powered by our machine learning models, accessed through APIs for real-time predictions and constantly evolving through feedback mechanisms. Your expertise will ensure these systems are highly available and deliver a seamless user experience.

Key Responsibilities

• LLM Integration: Integrate LLMs into solutions, ensuring seamless and natural language interactions.
• Prompt Engineering: Develop and refine prompting strategies to elicit desired responses from LLMs and achieve specific conversational goals.
• Fine-tuning and Optimization: Fine-tune pre-trained LLMs on specific tasks and datasets to improve performance and accuracy.
• Data Processing: Process and prepare data for training and fine-tuning LLMs.
• Model Evaluation: Evaluate the performance of LLMs and AI systems using appropriate metrics and methodologies.
• MLOps: Contribute to the development and implementation of MLOps practices for GenAI systems, including model deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Collaboration: Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including data scientists, software engineers, and product managers, to deliver high-quality GenAI solutions.
• Research and Development: Stay abreast of the latest advancements in LLMs and GenAI research to identify and implement cutting-edge techniques.

Role Requirements
We're Looking For Someone Who Has

• 2+ years of experience in machine learning or software engineering work. Hands-on experience with LLMs and GenAI technologies is a plus.
• Passion for GenAI: A strong interest in and enthusiasm for the field of GenAI and LLMs.
• Coding Proficiency: Strong programming skills in Python and experience with relevant libraries (e.g., Transformers, LangChain).
• Machine Learning Knowledge: Good foundations with machine learning principles and algorithms.
• Cloud Computing Experience: Experience working with cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS) and deploying machine learning models in cloud environments.
• Problem-solving Skills: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal communication skills to effectively collaborate and present technical ideas.
• Initiative: Proactive and self-directed, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.

Ideal Candidates Have

• Experience with product development
• Performed MLOps in a professional capacity
• Relevant certifications (e.g. AWS Cloud Practitioner, or any Cloud ML Certificates)

Benefits and Perks
We Offer The Following Compensation And Benefits

• Competitive salary — the compensation amount is positively correlated with the difficulty of the job, relevant experience, fit, and skill factors.
• Hybrid Set-Up — Hybrid-remote means employees are required to come in an average of two days a week for client engagements and internal in-person days intended for collaboration, socials, and strategic planning.
• Individual professional development budget — an annual budget for conferences, training courses, books, and software is available to sharpen your skills and build new ones to help you grow in your role.
• Full health benefits — generous health insurance package upon hiring, with options to include dependents.
• Apprenticeship and yearly performance reviews with the leadership team to discuss career and personal goals, job progress and any questions and concerns.
