About the role

Responsibilities

  • Own the training pipeline behind the models that power Parallel’s search stack and agents
  • Build rankers, classifiers, and query models that surface the right information for search
  • Develop models that help agents plan, reason, and execute high-value tasks over web data
  • Build the path from real product usage to high-quality training data
  • Fine-tune and evaluate models rigorously
  • Ship models safely to traffic used by millions

Requirements

  • Deep intuition on modern models and training, including transformer fine-tuning, data curation, and label quality
  • Rigorous thinking about how ranking, retrieval, and agent behavior inform one another
  • Ability to train models that serve ranking, retrieval, and agent use cases
  • Passion for applying research to product and systems used by millions
