Research Engineer, Post-Training Inference

About the role The Model Shaping team at Together AI works on products and research focused on tailoring open foundation models to downstream applications. We build services that enable machine learning developers to choose the best models for their tasks and further improve these models using domain-specific data. In addition, we develop new methods for more efficient model training and evaluation, drawing inspiration from a broad range of ideas across machine learning, natural language processing, and ML systems. As a Research Engineer within Model Shaping, you will develop a platform that enables users to customize open-source models with their own data. Working across the training and inference stacks, you will build and improve our Fine-Tuning, Reinforcement Learning, and Evaluation services – from ensuring a seamless path from post-training to production serving, to optimizing the inference engine for RL training workloads. You will collaborate closely with our product, research, and engineering teams to keep the API reliable, performant, and well integrated into the company's technical infrastructure. Above all, you will help build the foundational layer of the open-source AI ecosystem, enabling developers around the world to efficiently create high-quality models tailored to their specific applications.
