Full Description

ABOUT POOLSIDE In this decade, the world will create artificial intelligence that reaches human level intelligence (and beyond) by combining learning and search. There will only be a small number of companies who will achieve this. Their ability to stack advantages and pull ahead will determine who survives and wins. These companies will move faster than anyone else. They will attract the world's most capable talent. They will be on the forefront of applied research and engineering at scale. They will create powerful economic engines. They will continue to scale their training to larger & more capable models. They will be given the right to raise large amounts of capital along their journey to enable this. poolside exists to be one of these companies - to build a world where AI will drive the majority of economically valuable work and scientific progress. We believe that software development will be the first major capability in neural networks that reaches human-level intelligence because it's the domain where we can combine Search and Learning approaches the best. At poolside we believe our applied research needs to culminate in products that are put in the hands of people. Today we focus on building for a developer-led increasingly AI-assisted world. We believe that current capabilities of AI lead to incredible tooling that can assist developers in their day to day work. We also believe that as we increase the capabilities of our models, we increasingly empower anyone in the world to be able to build software. We envision a future where not 100 million people can build software but 2 billion people can. View GDPR Policy ABOUT OUR TEAM We are a remote-first team that sits across Europe and North America and comes together once a month in-person for 3 days and for longer offsites twice a year. Our R&D and production teams are a combination of more research and more engineering-oriented profiles, however, everyone deeply cares about the quality of the systems we build and has a strong underlying knowledge of software development. We believe that good engineering leads to faster development iterations, which allows us to compound our efforts. ABOUT THE ROLE Reinforcement Learning from Code Execution Feedback (RLCEF) is our method for enhancing our large language model by completing billions of tasks in tens of thousands of real world software projects (soon millions). You will be working on poolside's code execution platform that powers RLCEF. YOUR MISSION Build a scalable platform that can support poolside's fine tuning efforts by code execution and static analysis. RESPONSIBILITIES On this team you will build our code execution platform which involves working with container runtimes, static code analyzers, parsers and distributed data systems. SKILLS & EXPERIENCE • Strong programming skills in either Go, C, C++ or Python (we are open to polyglot engineers from other languages) • Comfortable with distributed systems • Data pipelines, distributed processing, fault tolerance, performance optimization. • Message queues, event-driven architectures, e.g. Kafka, Google pub/sub. • Clouds: managed services, storage. GCP, AWS, Azure. • Experience with testing code • Unit testing • Integration testing • Test performance optimization • Plus: Experience in container runtimes and Linux system programming • Plus: Experience with build tools and CI/CD pipelines • Other relevant tools/experience: • DevOps: Git, Docker, k8s, Terraform, baremetal. • Monitoring and alerting (Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog). PROCESS • Intro call with one of our Founding Engineers • Technical Interview(s) with one of our Founding Engineers • Team fit call with the People team • Final interview with Eiso, our CTO & Co-Founder BENEFITS • Fully remote work & flexible hours • 37 days/year of vacation & holidays • Health insurance allowance for you and dependents • Company-provided equipment • Wellbeing, always-be-learning and home office allowances • Frequent team get togethers • Great diverse & inclusive people-first culture
