Menlo Park, California, United States Character Full time
About Us

At Character, our mission is to empower individuals with Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Our vision is to enable people to utilize our technology at any moment, every day.

We are a full-stack AI company with a globally scaled direct-to-consumer platform. As a leading personal AI platform, we are uniquely centered around people, allowing users to personalize their experience by interacting with AI 'Characters.'

We have achieved significant milestones, including being named Google Play's AI App of the Year. Our team is comprised of AI pioneers, including Noam Shazeer, who co-invented the key technology powering Large Language Models (LLMs), and Daniel De Freitas, who created and led LaMDA, the breakthrough conversational tech project powering Bard.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Data Engineer to join our team. As a key member of our organization, you will be instrumental in building the world's best LLMs by collecting and refining the essential training data that powers them.

Your responsibilities will be twofold:

  • First, you will identify and collect data at the scale required to feed our largest models. This involves managing a diverse set of sources, including structured and unstructured content from text and multimedia formats. Your engineering expertise is crucial in crafting the infrastructure and tools necessary to efficiently collect and manage petabytes of data.
  • Second, you will experiment with various methods of extracting a balanced and comprehensive training dataset from the raw data. You will leverage your expertise in data to build datasets reflecting a hypothesis, train models, and evaluate experimental results. Through this experimentation, you will create the training datasets for our largest models.

These are critical steps in the construction of AI. With petabytes of data and numerous design decisions, each step requires careful attention. Expertise in AI is not necessary, but enthusiasm for the space and a track record of adapting to new domains is important.

Requirements

To be successful in this role, you will need:

  • 5+ years of production software engineering experience
  • Experience building large-scale data processing pipelines, with tools like PySpark, Beam, or Flink
  • Familiarity with Machine Learning and NLP and willingness to learn more on the job
  • Track record of adapting to new domains and a desire to use data to improve products

Additional desired experience includes:

  • ML experience as an ML engineer, Data Scientist, or another similar role
  • Experience with cloud platforms like AWS or Azure, or tools such as Kubernetes and Terraform
  • Passionate about Conversational AI or large language models

We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability, or any other legally protected status. We value diversity and encourage applicants from a range of backgrounds to apply.
