Software Dev Engineer III, AGI Foundations

Description

The Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) team is looking for a highly-skilled Senior Software Engineer, to lead the development and implementation of cutting-edge technologies to push the boundaries of efficient inference for Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) models.

Key job responsibilities

• Design, develop, test and deploy inference solutions for high-end LLMs
• Create solutions that facilitate the usage and building of artificial intelligence workflows and optimize them for cost and latency.
• Design and build innovative technologies in a large distributed computing environment and help lead fundamental changes in the industry.
• Build solutions on top of AWS that are easy to use for customers, scalable, fault-tolerant and great to manage.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams of engineers and scientists to identify and solve complex problems in GenAI
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, and contribute to the overall growth and development of the team
• Perform on-call duty to ensure an exceptionally frictionless experience for customers.

A day in the life
Senior engineers in our team are independent and have much freedom in the way they contribute. They stay up-to-date with new solutions, read recent papers, explore ideas, brainstorm and freely connect with others to cooperate. They detect, investigate and resolve complex problems, sometimes through creating software solutions, and sometimes just through finding and reusing something that exists. They partner with leaders to focus on right things and make good decisions. They are making sure the team follows best design and programming best practices, as well as lead operational efforts.

About the team
Our team provides generative AI solutions that are the backend for novel products which are pioneering the next generation of AI applications. We are an open-minded team that looks for growing and improving not only the services we are managing, but also themselves. We are determined in our mission to innovate on behalf of our customers and are looking for talented engineers that want to go this path together with us. On some days this means we are collectively going the extra mile to get a solution out today, on other days we sit together, celebrate (and also joke) about the things we have build and achieved so far.
