Vijil, Inc Senior Applied Scientist, Trustworthy AI Remote·Full time Apply for Senior Applied Scientist, Trustworthy AI

Vijil is looking for an Applied Scientist to research and develop methods for improving the trustworthiness of large language models.

Description

About Us

Vijil is a venture-funded AI software startup on a mission to help developers build intelligent agents that people can trust. We are building capabilities to continuously improve the trustworthiness of custom large language models.

About the Role

This is a full-time remote role for an Applied Scientist (not a Data Scientist). You will be responsible for research and development of novel machine learning techniques to improve the security and safety of large language models. You will continuously survey SOTA research in adversarial ML, red-teaming, and LLMs; you will pursue independent research to develop patents and write papers for peer-reviewed publication and top-tier conferences; you will develop small-scale prototypes (production-quality code nevertheless) and collaborate with ML engineers and cloud services developers to transform your prototypes into large-scale cloud services. Importantly, you will focus obsessively on the needs of customers -- AI developers at enterprises and startups who are customizing LLMs -- and let them guide the direction of your research.

About You

You believe in doing customer-obsessed science coupled with engineering to make a impact well beyond the lab. That means diving deep into problems that matter to your customers and delivering pragmatic solutions that stand the test of time. As part of a highly collaborative team, you rely on your exceptional (written and verbal) communication skills to inform and persuade. You have a strong analytical mind, you approach challenges with a problem-solving stance, and you have the grit and resilience to deal with setbacks. You find this work meaningful because you you feel it in your bones that we need to build trust into AI/ML systems in order to realize their transformative potential.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Ph D in ML, NLP, Neural Networks
  • 4+ years industry experience as an Applied Scientist or equivalent job
  • 4+ years experience developing deep learning models or systems
  • 4+ years research experience with NLP models or systems
  • 2+ year research experience with LLMs or systems for LLM operations
  • 1+ year research experience with LLM failure modes
  • Demonstrable proficiency in programming with Python, Java, or C++ (GitHub link appreciated)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with SOTA research in adversarial ML, LLM red-teaming, and responsible AI
  • Commitment to pragmatic development of trustworthy AI/ML
  • Experience working with cloud services on AWS, Azure, or GCP
  • Familiarity with software engineering best practices (version control, code review, testing, and deployment)
  • Proven ability to work collaboratively with software developers, product managers, and business leaders
  • Demonstrable written and verbal communication skills (writing samples appreciated)
  • Competitive base pay and equity.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance plans.
  • Flexible time-off policy.
  • Paid parental and family leave.
  • Immigration sponsorship.

How to Apply

If you are excited about making a meaningful impact on mechanisms to improve the security of generative AI models, please submit your resume and any examples of your relevant work. For any questions, email us at .

Vijil is an equal opportunity employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws pertaining to fair employment practices.
