Senior Machine Learning Engineer

At Continua, we've built an AI agent that users can invite into group conversations to make planning, coordination, and information retrieval effortless. It's early days for this specific Continua product, but we think we're on to something.

Try adding 332-286-3377 to group texts to kick its tires! We've seen extremely rapid growth over the last few months, and are looking for someone who can help us improve the quality of our agent experience and scale to the next level.

What you'll do:

You'll work on building and improving the best LLM group chat experience there is. This includes:

• Fine-tuning models to boost conversational quality and improve scalability.

• Owning new ideas for engaging features and working across the stack (i.e. not just in Jupyter notebooks) to take them from concept to production.

• Identifying novel ways to build a "memory" which leads to a personalized and unique experience for our users.

• Leading technical decision making to find solutions which are both innovative and practical.

Who you are:

You're an experienced (Senior/Staff) machine learning engineer with broad knowledge and skills. You're detail-oriented when it matters to make sure things get done right, but also know how to strike the balance between speed and perfection in a fast-moving startup environment. You:

• Have experience fine-tuning LLMs for both generative and discriminative use cases.

• Have created datasets for such fine-tuning (human-labeled or synthetic)

• Know the pitfalls and tricks for building with LLMs

• Are experienced writing Python, and using an ML framework such as Pytorch, Jax, or TensorFlow.

• You know how to work independently to handle ambiguity

• Candidates in NYC are preferred, though SF and Seattle are also options (3 days in-office).

We're willing to compromise on years of experience for the right candidate who brings energy, intelligence, and a passion for our mission.

We compensate with a competitive salary and equity, health benefits, 401k, and the opportunity to help shape the future of AI agents during this transformative moment in computing history!
