Adaptive ML is building a reinforcement learning platform to tune, evaluate, and serve specialized language models. We are pioneering the development of task-specific LLMs using synthetic data, creating the foundational tools and products needed for models to self-critique and self-improve based on simple guidelines. Adaptive Engine enables companies to build and deploy the best LLMs for their business. Our founders previously worked together to create state-of-the-art open LLMs. We closed a $20M seed with Index & ICONIQ in early 2024 and are live with our first enterprise customers (e.g., AT&T).
At Adaptive ML, our Success team is part of our Technical Staff. Our Technical Staff develops the foundational technology that powers Adaptive ML, while the Success Team ensures our enterprise customers effectively leverage these technologies—particularly through our Adaptive Engine product—to unlock maximum value.
About the roleAs a Solutions Engineer at Adaptive ML, you will help our customers build scalable production applications with Adaptive Engine. Our customers range from innovative scale-ups to global enterprises, and your role will be to guide them in maximizing business value while shortening time to production. We place tremendous importance on bridging the gap from proof-of-concept to production, as too many generative AI projects fail to demonstrate tangible ROI.
By leveraging state-of-the-art reinforcement learning technology, you will support the specialization of large language models for production deployment. You will build synthetic data pipelines to bootstrap models into production and identify signals that can be used in production to enable continuous model improvement using production feedback. We are looking for self-driven, business-minded, and ambitious individuals interested in supporting real-world deployments of a highly technical product. As this is an early role, you will have the opportunity to shape our research efforts and product as we grow.
This is an in-person role based at our Paris or New York office.
Your responsibilitiesEmbed directly with our customers, helping them maximize the value of their Adaptive Engine deployment;
Experiment with pipelines to personalize models at scale, leveraging synthetic data and production feedback;
Ensure customer success, owning problems end-to-end from ideation to deployment, validation, and production;
Work closely with our research staff, productionizing the latest frontier research initiatives;
Contribute to our product roadmap, identifying promising trends and customer needs;
Report clearly on your work to a distributed collaborative team, with a bias for asynchronous written communication.
