Do you find yourself frustrated by the need to dilute your technical insights for general audiences? We are on the lookout for someone who is passionate about diving deep into the world of AI and eager to become a leading authority in the field.
This position lets you immerse yourself in what you love most: coding to evaluate new AI technologies, setting up automated benchmarks, and pinpointing edge cases, all while having the opportunity to share your knowledge widely. You’ll be instrumental in guiding over 150 enterprise software companies in their AI implementation journey, pushing the boundaries of AI capabilities and unearthing groundbreaking methods.
Embracing an AI-centric approach, this role empowers a solo contributor to achieve what would typically require a team of ten or more. You’ll explore and craft pioneering solutions and architectures, redefining AI’s potential without the burden of management layers or office politics.
Your tasks will include developing prototypes, conducting experiments, and crafting detailed technical content for engineering teams to adopt. Instead of gathering dust in PowerPoint decks, your research will have a tangible impact on how businesses create and deploy AI systems.
If you’re thrilled by the prospect of discovering new AI potentials, debunking vendor claims, and finding innovative solutions—and you love sharing these revelations—this role is tailor-made for you. Within a year, you’ll be acknowledged as a prominent voice in the realm of AI’s practical boundaries and opportunities.
