Job Description from Civil Service Jobs
About the Role
Our Platform Engineering team is enabling our core work of evaluating cutting edge advanced AI Systems. This requires a mix of skills: Creating expert interfaces and highly accessible red-teaming frontends, providing fast and secure inference channels for internal and external models, as well as MLOps capabilities for hosting and fine-tuning our own models.
This is a cross-functional team that collaborates closely with scientists, domain experts, and research engineers to develop brand new evaluation tools that leverage emerging research, while maintaining high levels of privacy and security integrity.
We will be working with a mixture of our own custom and open-source evaluation, analysis and visualisation frameworks.
While much of our work will require prototyping and proving out completely new approaches, our expectation is to ultimately deliver a rock-solid core platform that the rest of AISI can depend on.
You will be expected to bring your own experience and opinions when it comes to software architecture, and the design of the user-facing parts of our evaluations platform.
On any given day you will be interacting with researchers, research engineers, UX designers or our operations team to define requirements, turn those requirements into designs, prototypes or production code in collaboration with other engineers, and make sure that our platform is bug-free, stable and covered with a solid amounts of tests to withstand the ever-increasing evaluation traffic.
