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.

You will:

• Design and productionize state of the art tooling and open source technologies to enable the development of frontier foundation models for Databricks customers
• Solve complex problems at scale around data preprocessing, model training, hyperparameter tuning and model evaluation
• Implement advanced optimization techniques to reduce the resource footprint of models while preserving their performance and balancing usability for our developers and customers
• Collaborate with product managers and cross-functional teams to drive technology-first initiatives that enable novel business strategies and product roadmaps
• Facilitate our user community through documentation, talks, tutorials, and collaborations
• Contribute to the broader AI community by publishing research, presenting at conferences, and actively participating in open-source projects, enhancing Databricks’ reputation as an industry leader.
• Below are some example projects:
• Composer: Large-scale distributed deep learning training library
• Streaming: Library for efficient data loading from cloud object storage
• LLM Foundry: Framework for developing and evaluating Large Language Models

We look for:

• Hands on experience with the internals of deep learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow) and GenAI models (e.g. GPT, StableDiffusion)
• Experience with large scale, distributed training on GPUs (e.g., Nvidia, AMD) and alternative deep learning accelerators
• Strong sense of design and usability
• Effective communication skills and the ability to articulate complex technical ideas to cross-disciplinary internal and external stakeholders
• 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 technologies along the way.
