Engineering Manager – Mosaic AI Runtime Full-time

P-1313

Founded in late 2020 by a small group of machine learning engineers and researchers, MosaicML enables companies to securely fine-tune, train and deploy custom AI models on their own data, for maximum security and control. Compatible with all major cloud providers, the MosaicML platform provides maximum flexibility for AI development. Introduced in 2023, MosaicML’s pretrained transformer models have established a new standard for open source, commercially usable LLMs and have been downloaded over 3 million times. MosaicML is committed to the belief that a company’s AI models are just as valuable as any other core IP, and that high-quality AI models should be available to all.

Now part of Databricks since July 2023, we are passionate about enabling our customers to solve the world’s toughest problems – from making the next mode of transportation a reality to accelerating the development of medical breakthroughs. We do this by building and running the world’s best data and AI platform so our customers can use deep data insights to improve their business. We leap at every opportunity to solve technical challenges, striving to empower our customers with the best data and AI capabilities.

• Strong sense of software design and usability of ML systems
• Experience applying software engineering methodologies and best practices including coding standards, code reviews, build processes, testing, and security.
• Prior history of contributing to or developing open source projects is a bonus but not a requirement

We value candidates who are curious about all parts of the company’s success and are willing to learn new skills and technologies along the way.
