  • Develop robust and diverse evaluation for mid-training checkpoints.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Expertise in ML and large model scaling, with familiarity across all kinds of scaling laws.
  • Strong ability to design ML experiments.
  • Familiarity with state-of-the-art techniques for curating AI training data for text, image, audio, and video modalities.
  • Strong engineering abilities in Spark, Ray, and other frameworks for large-scale data processing.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

$180,000 - $440,000 USD

Base salary is just one part of our total rewards package at SpaceXAI, which also includes equity, comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and various other discounts and perks.
