About the role

Research engineers build the systems that make Same intelligent. Often that involves staring down ambiguous research problems. And inventing clever techniques for solving them.

Sample projects include...

  1. Training the world's best next-action-prediction and apply models
  2. Inventing inference tricks for faster code edits
  3. Creating retrieval models and PL techniques to solve codebase awareness

You might be a fit if...

  1. You've trained and served state-of-the-art models.
  2. You're unfazed hunting down kernel-level memory leaks on large-scale MOE runs.
  3. You love using the most productive tool for the job, whether that be creating a model, leveraging an existing one, or something other than ML entirely.
