tl;dr: Founding MLE/MLOps, $200k–380k/year + equity, relocation to London

While hopes and fears are brewing around Ilya Sutskever’s next steps, we got you a safety supervising intelligence job opening.

Atla is a London-based startup that is building AI for automatic evaluation and testing of other AI products. More specifically, they are training LLMs to assess other models while also providing a handy API for genAI app developers.

Why is this necessary? Well, for example, to make sure that your model won’t suggest its users to keep cheese on their pizza with superglue 😳

Why LLMs? Because assessing models with human efforts is very expensive and hard-to-scale. General-purpose models aren’t doing too well on this front, and Atla is one of the pioneers in developing supervisor models.

They received $5M in seed funding — this was the biggest round in the S23 batch — from Y Combinator, Creandum and founders of Reddit and Cruise.

We are looking for a Founding ML Engineer to join their team. You will be, erm, supervising the development of fine-tuning frameworks and LLMs, collaborating with the research team on data generation, and doing other stuff that important ML experts do 🧑‍💻

Let’s say, you:
*✨ have managed multi-instance clusters for parallel training across hundreds of GPUs/TPUs — preferably using PyTorch and Kubernetes;
✨ have launched, served and optimized *large ML models;
✨ are very cool! For example, you’re from a top uni and have publications, or you have worked in Stability or Meta, or maybe your Kaggle rating is through the roof. We want to know! ❤

Since they’re in an early stage, the equity share is significant. Your visa will be sponsored and relocation arranged through the UK AI Futures programme. The annual salary range is $200k-380k.

tl;dr: competitive programming & math meetup in London

We are organizing a meetup for competitive programmers in London on the 13th of July!

It went like this: Nadya asked her ICPC friends about events like this one, they said there weren’t any in London, so we simply had to become pioneers and do it ourselves! 🪂

If you spent the best years of your life grinding on Codeforces, or your heart skips a beat because IMO '24 is happening in your city despite you not being sixteen anymore — please come!

Things to do (a few ideas):
⭕happily find out that the people you met at contests a million years ago are living in London too;
⭕make new friends with competitive backgrounds from all over the world;
⭕discuss hot topics, such as ‘Wait, AI is going to take OUR jobs too?’, ‘The Burnout Pit: Falling In and Climbing Out’, ‘Ethical Uses for Massive Piles of Cash’ and ‘Meaning of Life: 42, really?’
⭕eat strawberries 🍓**

The date is 13th of July, the location will be revealed soon.

Here’s the registration link, and we will also share a link to a group chat later.

And feel free to share this post with your friends — here or on Linkedin!

tl;dr: SWE (Core Rust Engineer), remote, $150-200k/year + $50k-150k in tokens

It’s safe to say that NEAR will always occupy a special place in our heart — a while ago we hired ten or so people for their core team, and from that point Luna Park and NEAR were never the same 🚀

It’s a sharding-based blockchain that was backed by Andreesssen Horowitz and now has the 2nd highest number of daily users and the 20th largest market cap in crypto.
The founders are an ICPC champion and a co-author of the legendary “Attention Is All You Need” paper who managed TensorFlow’s development.

Once again, we are looking for a Core Engineer!

It has all the good NEAR stuff — algorithms, complicated state machines, concurrent systems and a world-class team 🪐

As for the requirements:
🔺experience with blockchain protocols or excellent low-level/systems experience — e.g. database internals;
🔺deep knowledge of concurrency;
🔺impressive achievements — perhaps you won contests, worked at Parity, or your project has lots of stars on GitHub ✨
🔺Rust — in rare cases, moving from C++ is fine too 🦀

The position is fully remote, the salary range is $150k-200k/year + $50k-150k in tokens — various perks included, like a budget for setting up your home office.

@AlbinaMakarova is waiting for your questions, resumes and awesome referrals❤️

Remote is possible, but you’ll have to work around US hours. If you’re in the US — even better!

tl;dr: Research Scientist, generative video AI, remote, $180k-250k + equity

Hey, we're back! Today — with a Research Scientist position at Moonvalley!

Moonvalley creates videos out of simple text prompts — think Midjourney, but for video. Their growth rates also rival those of Midjourney, with 100,000 Discord users in just 6 weeks. And they have already raised $30M from Khosla Ventures and Y Combinator!

As a Research Scientist, you will not only play a crucial role in the company's success but also lay down the foundational bricks for technologies that transform the whole video industry.

You will need:
☄️ 3+ years of experience working with world-class research teams;
☄️ Experience in researching and deploying frontier tech — such as LLMs, image diffusion, etc.;
☄️ Citations or publications in major industry journals and/or conferences.

It has the classic startup vibes we love — small and passionate team, lots of work, great responsibility, and, of course, very competitive compensation.

The position is remote-first, but the company can help with relocation to the UAE (easier option) or Canada (one that’s a little more complicated). They pay $180k-250k + a significant equity package.

For more details, reach out to @natmartem — and share your Moonvalley-generated videos in the comments!
