What we are looking for?

We want to be transparent with you, this position is not for everyone. We are looking for our first key hire to take responsibility and leadership in developing our natural language generation algorithms even further side by side with our experienced CTO. Somebody who is well accustomed and not afraid to jump from data collection to text prediction, from the code to the whiteboard. Somebody who starts with a good base to grow with the trajectory of the company.

We know that the below areas could each be filled by an own team and in two years it will be. However, for now, we look for somebody who wants to put skin in the game, roll up their sleeves together with us and drive our growth.

Areas you will work with:

• Natural language generation - For now we are working mostly with different transformer architectures. Seeing ourselves as model-agnostic we are continuously experimenting with what leads to the best language generation
• Model and data management - Our biggest assets are the datasets and the models we a continuously creating. You will have a major impact at the very core of our company.
• Model and pipeline performance - Improving current processes and pipelines to run even more resource-efficient. Currently we have reached same performance levels as OpenAI GPT-3 with 20x smaller models. We would like to push this even further and make text generation as fast as possible.
• Data Acquisition - We value strong datasets to achieve outstanding results with our technology. Creativity in searching and acquiring the best data is the strongest moat we create. On top of writing scrapers to collect data, you should also be able to apply NLP techniques to further augment our raw datasets further.
• Cloud Computing - We started with a server under the founder's desk moving to build cloud-agnostic software. Having experience with GCP and AWS is a must have.
