- Passion for AI ethics: you’re committed to making AI models safer and more useful for society
- Excellent communication skills: you can clearly explain decisions and trade-offs to other senior engineers
- Startup experience (early-stage engineer or founder strongly preferred)
- Experience with Python or Ruby on Rails, and React/Typescript
- CS degree from a top school or equivalent STEM background
What You’ll Do
- Develop innovative solutions to enhance annotation efficiency using the latest AI advancements.
- Create intuitive interfaces for data exploration and visualization, including tools for RLHF processes.
- Design and implement systems for large-scale data processing to support AI model training and evaluation.
- Build interactive products to effectively communicate complex instructions to our workforce.
- Contribute to products that facilitate the collection and analysis of human feedback for RLHF and other AI training methodologies.
