AI Engineer, Foundation Models
Principal Responsibilities
*U.S. citizenship required due to the nature of our work*
We are hiring an AI Engineer who thrives in fast iteration loops and wants to build training pipelines, run experiments, optimize models, and ship AI that directly impacts R&D and operations. You will work shoulder to shoulder with the AI and materials science teams to implement experiments, improve performance, manage datasets, and wrap models for deployment. This is a hands-on, full stack AI engineering role with tremendous room for technical and career growth.
Key Responsibilities
- Execute training runs, ablations, evaluations, and model experiments under the guidance of the AI Architect.
- Own model codebases: data loaders, training loops, evaluation harnesses, inference tooling.
- Optimize model performance (compute, memory, distributed training).
- Partner with the Data Platform Engineer on dataset creation, feature/data contracts, and labeling.
- Package models for production and collaborate with Deployment Engineer and users/operations teams to iteratively improve
Key Requirements
- 5+ years in model training, experimentation, and AI/ML tooling
- Exceptional programming and ML engineering fundamentals (Python, PyTorch, training pipelines).
- Experience in full stack deployments.
- Interest in scientific and physical modeling applications is a plus.
