We do this by building and running the world’s best data and AI platform, so our customers can focus on the high value challenges that are central to their own missions.

Job description:

Most of the world's data+AI problems lie in enterprise domains, behind closed doors. Our research team's goal is to push the frontier of "domain adaptation" - how can we develop LLMs and AI systems that work well for custom domains. To do this we are tackling open research problems on a range of topics, from how to scale/automate eval, fine tune with synthetic data, retrieval augmentation, fast/efficient inference and more. 

You will work with our research team on projects focused on adapting LLMs and AI systems towards enterprise domains. This may include:

• Adapting, improving, and evaluating a method from the literature.
• Designing an entirely new method for domain adaptation.
• Composing together multiple methods to create new recipes for efficient post-training.
• Evaluation of LLMs and AI systems. 

Your qualifications and qualities:

• Required:
• Research experience in and proficiency with the fundamentals of deep learning.
• Pursuing a PhD in computer science or related fields (electrical engineering, neuroscience, physics, math, etc.).
• Proficient software engineering skills, including with PyTorch.
