GenAI Staff Machine Learning Engineer, AI Runtime

P-984

Founded in late 2020 by a small group of machine learning engineers and researchers, MosaicML enables companies to securely fine-tune, train and deploy custom AI models on their own data, for maximum security and control. Compatible with all major cloud providers, the MosaicML platform provides maximum flexibility for AI development. Introduced in 2023, MosaicML’s pretrained transformer models have established a new standard for open source, commercially usable LLMs and have been downloaded over 3 million times. MosaicML is committed to the belief that a company’s AI models are just as valuable as any other core IP, and that high-quality AI models should be available to all.

Now part of Databricks since July 2023, we are passionate about enabling our customers to solve the world's toughest problems — from making the next mode of transportation a reality to accelerating the development of medical breakthroughs. We do this by building and running the world's best data and AI platform so our customers can use deep data insights to improve their business.

• Below are some example projects:
• Composer : Large-scale distributed deep learning training library
• Streaming : Library for efficient data loading from cloud object storage
• LLM Foundry : Framework for developing and evaluating Large Language Models

We look for:

• Hands on experience with the internals of deep learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow) and GenAI models (e.g. GPT, StableDiffusion)
• Experience with large scale, distributed training on GPUs (e.g., Nvidia, AMD) and alternative deep learning accelerators
• Strong sense of design and usability
• Effective communication skills and the ability to articulate complex technical ideas to cross-disciplinary internal and external stakeholders
• Prior history of contributing to or developing open source projects is a bonus but not a requirement
