Role

Who you are

Someone who loves to code. This is a hands-on position and is not suitable for those who want to simply oversee projects.'
Knowledgable and eager to keep up-to-date with best engineering practices
Passionate about people, mentorship, and teaching, as a primary responsibility of yours is to help other engineers grow their technical skills
Very proficient with Python
Knowledgeable about machine learning. You don’t need to be a world-famous published researcher, but you should be comfortable with training deep neural networks and much of the latest machine learning theory and practice

What the job involves

We are looking for a technical leader who can lead a strong team of versatile engineers both through direct guidance and by example
You will provide guidance to team members on their technical projects, from pair programming and code reviews to empowering them to make higher-level decisions
As an IC as well as a leader and mentor, you will play a key role in determining our technical strategy
Code, a lot, as an IC to our technical roadmap
Mentor and pair program with other engineers to help them develop their practical skills
Perform code reviews and provide feedback so that other engineers can continually hone and improve their craft
Help establish best practices and standards in our codebase to improve the quality of our systems

Application process

We try to reply either way within a week or two at most (usually much sooner)

Our take

Since the widened attention placed on generative AIs such as Chat GPT, it seems that investors have intensified their interest in general intelligence. Imbue is one of the most recent AI research and training companies to step into the limelight after it achieved unicorn status in a $200 million Series B funding round in 2023.

With competition including the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic, Imbue researches and improves the reasoning of AI models. Its focus on foundational AI means that its training has a wide range of lucrative applications. Using a full-stack approach (essentially building its tech from scratch) enables the creation of feedback loops that gradually develop even better AI models.
