Job Description
Machine Learning Engineer II, LLM Applied Science
Company: Pinterest
Location: San Francisco, CA
As Pinterest Labs, you'll work on tackling new challenges in large language models (LLMs) and generative AI along with a world-class team of research scientists, and machine learning engineers. You'll conduct research that can be applied across Pinterest engineering teams and engage in external collaborations and mentoring, while also performing research in any of the following areas: LLM training and adaptation, instruction tuning and alignment, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), multimodal foundation models, personalization and user modeling with LLMs, LLM evaluation and benchmarking, efficient traininging/inference, safety alignment, and inclusive AI.
What You'll Do:
In-Office Requirement Statement: We let the type of work you do guide the collaboration style. That means we're not always working in an office, but we continue to gather for key moments of collaboration and connection. This role will need to be in the office for in-person collaboration 1-2 times/quarter and therefore can be situated anywhere in the country.
