As a Data/Software Engineer, you will develop production software and data systems, leveraging cloud-native technologies and strong Python programming skills.
Academic Content Developer (AI Optimization & Foundations)
📜 Description
- Implement optimizers from first principles and instrument gradient flow, learning-rate schedules, and regularization diagnostics.
- Build course artifacts to production standards, including instrumented optimizers and analytical briefs.
- Utilize Python, NumPy, scikit-learn, PyTorch, Jupyter, Docker, and cloud VMs for development.
- Produce public writing samples demonstrating technical explanations and adherence to publication standards.
- Maintain reproducibility discipline with pinned dependencies and documented parameters.
🛠️ Requirements
- Masters Degree in Computer Science or related
- 5+ years shipping production software, including 2+ years in production AI/ML
- Able to implement optimizers from first principles (not by calling a framework's built-in optimizer) and instrument gradient flow, learning-rate schedules, and regularization diagnostics
- Working fluency in probability and information theory (likelihood, entropy, KL divergence)
- Able to personally build a course artifact to production standard, including an instrumented optimizer and analytical brief
- Hands-on with Python, NumPy, scikit-learn, PyTorch (basics through autograd/custom optimizer loops), Jupyter, Docker, one cloud VM (AWS/GCP/Azure), Weights & Biases, Modal (CPU + T4/A10), matplotlib
- Public writing samples showing technical explanation (docs, workshop material, book chapter, or open-source project known for its docs), including ability to write to publication standard
- Reproducibility discipline (pinned dependencies, containers, seeded runs, documented decoding parameters)
- Professional written English
✨ Benefits
- Remote work modality (home office).
- Joining a dynamic and growing organization with international reach.
