Entrepreneurship in the territories: is it the right time?
Excited to use technology for good? Join Outgoing & our team and help us build the future: an AI-powered concierge for real-world experiences.
We're looking for creative, collaborative, “super smart & super nice” engineers who share our vision of getting people off their screens and out into the real world.
Joining at this stage means you'll not only help us with the product, but also in establishing our company culture, technical architecture, approach to ML... We're an early stage startup in a huge market so there's plenty of room for autonomy, mastery, and purpose.
Are you an entrepreneurial engineer with experience applying AI in a fast-paced environment? Are you excited to apply those skills on something with positive benefits to society: using technology to get people off their screens? Outgoing is looking for a hands-on, applied AI engineer, fluent in implementing and experimenting in the fast-evolving open-source LLM space, ready to operate at startup velocity, on a cool, consumer-facing product that's good for the world.
What You'll Do
As our Applied ML Engineer, you'll lead designing, developing, and deploying the core AI systems for Outgoing's personalized activity recommendations engine. Key opportunities and responsibilities include:
Owning End-to-End Development of Algorithms Platform: We're looking for someone independent, who can take full ownership of key features from concept to deployment, developing robust systems in a fast-paced environment. We value experimentation over perfection -- this isn't a theoretical role -- and are trying to quickly deliver value to our users.
Implementing & Optimizing LLM-Powered Features: Integrate and fine-tune open-weight LLMs for natural language understanding, classification, content generation, and conversational interfaces.
Developing Advanced Ranking & Recommendation Algorithms: We've got some innovative approaches to the typical recommender system cold-start problem, so you'll be helping supercharge classical ranking and information retrieval algorithms.
Driving Technical Architecture & Tooling Decisions: We're an early-stage startup so there's loads of opportunity for contributing and owning strategic technical decisions like system architecture, technology stack, and platform evolution.
