About the job

Hume AI is seeking talented researchers and engineers to join our AI research team in building state-of-the-art speech-language models (SLMs). Our novel SLM training method, reinforcement learning from human expression (RLHE), leverages human preferences from millions of audio and video recordings to create SLMs that are exceptionally helpful, interesting, funny, eloquent, honest, and altruistic. This role involves building software systems for distributed model training, inference, and benchmarking, alongside large-scale data collection, storage, preprocessing, and analysis. You will tackle significant AI research challenges at an industry scale, contributing to our mission of ensuring AI is guided by human values.

Responsibilities

  • Build software systems supporting distributed model training, inference, and benchmarking.
  • Develop systems for massive-scale data collection, storage, preprocessing, and analysis.
  • Work on state-of-the-art audio models and evaluation tools.
  • Iterate quickly on new and uncertain research directions.

Requirements

  • Expertise in the Python ecosystem and popular ML libraries/tools (e.g., PyTorch).
  • Experience writing robust and maintainable production-ready code.
  • 2+ years of experience training and/or fine-tuning transformer models with large-scale datasets of text, audio, image, and/or video data.
