Hacker In Residence At Cleanlab

Cleanlab's hacker in residence role blends developer relations/advocacy work with building awesome Data-Centric AI applications and sharing them with the community. You'll help AI engineers learn about data-centric AI, LLMs, RAG, Agents and how Cleanlab and other revolutionary technologies can help them solve their Data/AI challenges.

In this dynamic role, you'll get to write open-source code, publish technical blog posts, make videos and social media content, host events/hackathons, engage in technical discussions in in-person and online forums/conferences, participate in vibrant AI communities, and help identify developer needs.

Who We're Looking For

This role is a mix of data science, software engineering, technical writing, producing/launching content, community building, and engagement. This role is ideal for a multi-talented individual who likes wearing many hats and doing work that deeply engages technical audiences.

We're looking for someone who has expertise around the cutting-edge of LLMs/RAG/Agents, excellent technical writing skills, and a deep love and understanding of people and communities. Good candidates for this role will already: be active on GitHub and social media, have a blog, have attended many conferences/hackathons, and know about the latest trends in Data/AI.

Responsibilities
  • Develop software and write technical content in the form of tutorials, highly technical blog posts, demos, and other online content to drive adoption of Cleanlab and engage with the AI community
  • Contribute to educational material such as MIT's Introduction to Data-Centric AI
  • Keep up with the latest trends in data science and machine learning, reading and participating on Twitter and Reddit, reading arXiv papers, and more
  • Grow Cleanlab's social media following
  • Promote Cleanlab in developer forums and meetups
  • Represent Cleanlab through speaking engagements at conferences and meetups, both in-person and online
Qualifications
  • A computer science background and familiarity with cutting-edge Generative AI advances
  • Excellent communication and technical writing skills
  • Experience participating in online communities, especially developer communities
Benefits

Working at Cleanlab is awesome! Beyond the opportunity to work at a well-funded AI startup with an incredible, friendly founding team of MIT graduates, all full-time employees receive the following:

  • Premium health insurance, including dental and vision.
  • Professional development stipend to keep up with the latest innovations in ML and software.
  • 401(k) with employer match.
  • Unlimited PTO, unlimited sick days, 10 company-wide holidays.
  • Work with a talented team unified by a vision to solve challenging problems in artificial intelligence.
  • Competitive salary (+ equity offering for certain roles), with regular opportunities for a raise if things are going well.
  • Relocation bonus to move to San Francisco.

The compensation range for this role is $140,000 to $170,000. The final offer details are determined by several factors including candidate experience/expertise and may vary from the pay range provided.

About Us

Prior to Cleanlab, our founders (3 ML/systems PhDs from MIT) worked at OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, AWS, Facebook AI Research (FAIR), Dropbox, Oculus, Palantir, NASA, General Electric, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, MIT, Harvard, and Stanford. At every place we worked we repeatedly encountered the same issue: AI solutions failed to work reliably on real-world, human-centric data due to label errors and poor data quality. So, we spent eight years of PhD research at MIT inventing a new field to solve this problem and after successful pilots with world-leading organizations, Cleanlab emerged.

Everything we do at Cleanlab is guided by our north star — to help companies build reliable AI applications — unlocking the ability to use AI on many real-world applications where reliability is paramount. We develop next-generation data-centric AI, open-source algorithms and build APIs and web applications to help individuals and teams at companies across all industries build reliable AI.

While many companies can help build AI models, there exist few solutions today to build make this AI reliable, which is essential for production deployments of AI. This is where you come in. At Cleanlab, you'll be able to take ownership of critical projects that pioneer the future of AI reliability.

We are a hybrid company, with over half of our team (and office) located in San Francisco.
