Company mission

To help unleash the human potential, by inspiring individuals to learn amazing new skills.

Role

Who you are

  • At least two years of experience working with LLMs - Fine Tuning Embedding and Causal models, distilling larger models into smaller models, etc
  • Built datasets and solutions to evaluate model performance
  • Proven experience in prompt engineering closed source models like GPT or OSS models like Mixtral to meet specific application needs
  • Experience with pre-LLM NLP models like word2vec or GloVe models
  • Experience working with CUDA architectures on single and multi-GPU compute environments
  • Strong programming skills in Python and experience with frameworks and tools such as PyTorch, Huggingface SDKs, vLLM, etc
  • Excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively across teams and with external partners

Desirable

  • Experience in the educational technology sector or with content generation applications

What the job involves

  • We're looking for a Staff Generative AI ML Engineer to join our team, helping to revolutionize how learning is crafted and delivered
  • The Staff Generative AI ML Engineer will be instrumental in developing and deploying generative AI solutions that bring interactive learning experiences to life
  • This role requires a mix of technical expertise in ML model development, prompt engineering, and strategic thinking to guide teams toward innovative AI applications
  • Develop LLM-powered solutions using the various techniques that exist to reach product goals. These techniques could include prompt engineering, RAG-based systems, fine-tuning models (using techniques like SFT and DPO), etc
  • Decide on the right model architecture for different requirements (e.g., using embeddings vs generation, Dense vs. Sparse MoE models, using pre-LLM architectures for specific use cases, etc.)
  • Build evaluation systems that bring objectivity to model output quality and product experience aspects
  • Design the right architecture based on product needs, balancing trade-offs like AI safety and latency
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate AI technologies seamlessly into the MasterClass platform, ensuring a personalized and impactful learning experience
  • Be a mentor for the rest of the team to share best practices for AI product development
  • Stay abreast of industry trends and advancements in generative AI and prompt engineering, incorporating best practices into our development lifecycle
  • Engage with the AI research community, contributing to and applying the latest findings and technologies to our AI initiatives

Our take

MasterClass is a streaming platform that offers its members the chance to learn skills and theory directly from the best in the business, all with celebrity status. For example, learning to cook with Gordon Ramsay, mastering tennis techniques with Serena Williams, and perfecting songwriting with Alicia Keys.

The streaming platform provides more than 100 classes across nine categories including sport, wellness, music, food, and business. Each class is made up of around 20 short video lessons, accompanied by a workbook and a members’ community.

With a $2.5 billion valuation and no shortage of funding, MasterClass is seen as a leader in the edtech market, and differentiates itself from fierce competitors Udacity and Udemy by blurring the line between education and entertainment.
