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 Continua to your group texts to kick its tires! We've seen rapid growth over the last quarter, and are looking for someone who can help us improve the quality of our agent experience and scale to the next level.
This a hybrid position that can be based in Seattle, WA or New York, NY.
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 machine learning engineer with broad knowledge and skills in natural language processing (NLP). 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:
Know the pitfalls and tricks for building with LLMs, especially RAG systems
Have experience with the level of obsession over detail needed to produce high quality ML systems.
Are experienced and comfortable building backend systems and working across a code base, not just in Jupyter notebooks.
Are experienced writing Python (knowing Go is a plus)
You know how to work independently to handle ambiguity
We're willing to compromise on years of experience for the right candidate who brings energy, intelligence, and a passion for our mission.
A little about us:
Our team is a fantastic bunch of accomplished engineers and researchers from Google, Slack, Disney, and AI startups. We're pretty clued in on the technology side and have a strong vision of how the transformative technology of the last few years along with our own secret sauce (not just a ChatGPT wrapper) can help a huge number of people.
Compensation & Benefits:
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!
