The Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) team is looking for a highly-skilled SDE to lead a new initiative which transforms how Large Language Models (LLMs) reason and handle complex and ambiguous tasks, required for building Generative AI (GenAI) powered, state of the art conversational agents.

As an SDE on the team you will own building tier-1 services which are responsible for end to end orchestration and execution of conversational agent requests. From getting the best prompt and context for the request, to picking the correct model to inference, to interpreting LLM's output, creating an actionable plan and executing it.

Key job responsibilities
* Ability to quickly learn cutting-edge technologies and algorithms in the field of Generative AI on greenfield projects to participate in our journey to build the best conversational agent.
* Responsible for the development and maintenance of key platforms needed for connecting LLMs to actual user requests and real world APIs which act on them required for building conversational agents.
* Work with other team members to investigate design approaches, prototype new technology and evaluate technical feasibility.
* Work closely with Applied scientists to handle myriad of conversational use cases along with optimizing latency, cost and capacity.
* Work in an Agile/Scrum environment to deliver high quality software in a fast-paced environment.

About the team
Join our AGI team and work at the forefront of AI. Collaborate with top minds pushing boundaries in LLMs, reinforcement learning, and more. Gain valuable experience and accelerate your career growth. This is a unique opportunity to create history and shape the future of artificial intelligence.
