AI Engineer
Builds and productionizes AI models and systems for life sciences document generation, focusing on LLMs, NLP robustness, and reliable deployment pipelines. Bridges ML research, software engineering, and product needs in a high-stakes domain.
About the job
What You’ll Do
- Prompt optimization, red-teaming, and improving robustness of LLMs for life-science NLP applications within Collate’s products.
- Build pipelines and infrastructure to deploy AI systems reliably, safely, and at scale.
- Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teams to translate user needs into AI-driven features.
- Develop evaluation frameworks to ensure models are accurate, fair, and trustworthy in real-world life science settings.
- Experiment rapidly, while balancing iteration speed with the rigor required for high-stakes applications.
- Create tools and workflows that make AI development more efficient across the team.
What We’re Looking For
- Hands-on experience building and deploying ML/AI systems in production.
- Strong foundation in deploying search and retrieval systems and NLP applications.
- Ability to bridge research and engineering — from prototyping models to shipping them in user-facing products.
- Comfort working in an early-stage startup where ambiguity is high and ownership is expected.
- Motivation to apply AI to life sciences in a way that prioritizes reliability, safety, and impact.
