Founding Machine Learning Engineer at Quotient AI
$150k – $225k
At Quotient, we are building an end-to-end evaluation platform for AI. We believe that model evaluation is essential to shipping successful AI products quickly and confidently. We enable researchers and developers to understand the tradeoffs they are making in training and deploying AI models and products. With Quotient, they can iterate faster towards more ambitious goals.
Quotient will enable AI products to become ubiquitous, reliable, and safe.
As AI applications expand in reach and complexity, we are committed to staying on the bleeding edge of understanding the quality, responsibility, and performance of AI, from inception to deployment.
Our founders most recently led AI evaluation for GitHub Copilot. We have raised a Seed Round from top VCs and angel investors.
About the Position
We are looking for experienced engineers who understand AI systems, and are excited about becoming global leaders in a completely novel field. We need people that can work independently as part of a small team.
You will be responsible for building the industry’s first end-to-end AI evaluation platform, starting with an offline evaluation harness and web platform. You’ll also help forge the foundation of our company’s engineering team and company culture.
We are a small team passionate about technology and research and the extraordinary things we can build when we combine the two. We’re also fun, collaborative, and have meaningful lives outside of work.
You might be a good fit if you’ve worked as an ML engineer or research engineer on ML-backed products. We are building a team in Boston, Massachusetts, and preference will be given to candidates who can join us in our office 2 days per week.
What you’ll do:
Work closely with the CTO and lead early product development, including designing and implementing a foundational evaluation platform.
Balance trade-offs for performance and usability for our initial customers. We want our platform to be easy to use, and for customers to get results fast.
Ship to learn: iterating, experimenting, and testing ideas to move us along our path to product-market fit.
Bootstrap our initial development processes, tooling, and infra.
Collaborate with external researchers, design partners, and early customers.
Requirements:
•
? 5 years of full time industry experience building production ML systems, with experience using deep learning frameworks like PyTorch, Tensorflow, or related libraries
