Why this role?

As a Member of Technical Staff in the Safety for Agents team, you will make a meaningful impact on the development of better and fairer Large Language Models (LLMs). Your primary focus will be on data generation, post-training algorithms, and evaluation methods to ensure Safety in the next generation of models that can access external resources and take actions in the world. You will work closely with other cross-functional machine learning teams and data annotation teams, and will also collaborate with product and policy teams.

This role combines expertise in machine learning, ethical and responsible AI, experimental design, and data generation and management.

It will require curiosity to tackle totally new scientific problems, engineering skills to implement the pieces we need to test solutions to these, and a desire to dive into messy data and results. You will be on a small team with a lot of autonomy and decision-making power, responsible for making the next generation of LLMs better for society as a whole.

You may be a good fit if you have:

Strong statistical skills and experience evaluating scientific experiments related to data collection and model performance.
Extremely strong software engineering skills.
Strong expertise in designing and conducting data collection tasks, including working with human annotators.
Experience analyzing datasets with respect to their quality, biases, and suitability for training ML models.
Hands-on experience training large language models (LLMs) on distributed training infrastructures.
Familiarity with evaluating and improving the generalizability and robustness of ML systems.
Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX).
Excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and present findings.
One or more papers at top-tier venues (such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AIStats, MLSys, JMLR, AAAI, Nature, COLING, ACL, EMNLP).

If some of the above doesn't line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply! If you want to work really hard on a glorious mission with teammates that want the same thing, Cohere is the place for you.
