Summary
This role can be either fully in-person or remote.
As a machine learning engineer, you’ll work very closely with a senior member of our research team on cutting-edge deep learning research, infrastructure, and tooling towards the goal of creating general human-like machine intelligence.
Example projects
• Implement a self-supervised network using contrastive and reconstruction losses.
• Create a library on top of PyTorch to enable efficient network architecture search.
• Open source internal tools.
• Implement networks from newly published papers.
• Work on tools for simple distributed parallel training of deep neural networks.
• Develop more realistic simulations for training our agents.
• Design automated methods and tools to prevent common issues with neural network training (e.g. overfitting, vanishing gradients, dead ReLUs, etc).
• Create visualizations to help us deeply understand what our networks learn and why.
You are
• Very comfortable writing Python.
• Familiar with PyTorch and training deep neural networks.
• Excited to work on open source code.
• Passionate about engineering best practices.
• Self-directed and independent.
• Excellent at getting things done.
Compensation and Benefits
• Work directly on creating software with human-like intelligence
• Flexible working hours
• Time and budget for learning and self improvement
• Compensation packages are highly variable based on a variety of factors. If your salary requirements fall outside of the stated range, we still encourage you to apply. The range for this role is $140,000–$350,000 cash, $10,000–$5,000,000 in equity.
How to apply
All submissions are reviewed by a person, so we encourage you to include notes on why you're interested in working with us. If you have any other work that you can showcase (open source code, side projects, etc.), certainly include it! We know that talent comes from many backgrounds, and we aim to build a team with diverse skillsets that spike strongly in different areas.
We try to reply either way within a week or two at most (usually much sooner).
About us
Imbue builds AI systems that reason and code, enabling AI agents to accomplish larger goals and safely work in the real world. We train our own foundation models optimized for reasoning and prototype agents on top of these models. By using these agents extensively, we gain insights into improving both the capabilities of the underlying models and the interaction design for agents.
We aim to rekindle the dream of the *personal* computer, where computers become truly intelligent tools that empower us, giving us freedom, dignity, and agency to pursue the things we love.
