Computer Science Startup Jobs in Dallas, TX (NOW HIRING)

Mission

4MINDS is an enterprise AI fine-tuning platform that transforms how organizations build and operate private, domain-specific AI. Unlike static systems, 4MINDS’ AI platform learns continuously from live data in real time and can be deployed on-prem or your cloud provider.

Our patented technologies scale existing engineering teams and empower new AI teams, enabling rapid AI deployment, adaptation, and ROI. Through 4MINDS’ automated data pipeline and proprietary knowledge graph, enterprises can connect all their data sources, including Microsoft, Databricks, AWS and Google, creating adaptive AI that surpasses the capabilities of conventional RAG-based systems.

Role Overview

• Debug, tune, and optimize real-time LLM development pipelines for clients.
• Build and maintain lightweight integrations, automations, and scripts connecting customer systems (TMS, CRMs, APIs) to our AI stack.
• Work closely with core engineering and product teams to reproduce, isolate, and resolve field issues rapidly.
• Develop deployment playbooks and reusable frameworks that make future rollouts faster and more reliable.
• Surface insights and edge cases from customer operations to inform model tuning, UX design, and roadmap priorities.
• Represent engineering in the field and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ship quickly, iterate aggressively, and own every deployment like it’s your own product.
