The ideal candidate enjoys solving large, ambiguous problems at the intersection of research and product design. You are eager to pursue a high-impact mission, and have the vision to shape a new product category.

  • Maintain and optimize AI libraries that smart contracts can use to perform training and/or inference. For example:
  • Work on the long-term goal of bringing AI hardware acceleration to smart contracts. This will require work with standards such as and research in deterministic AI computation.
  • Represent DFINITY at conferences and events.
  • Help and work with the decentralized AI community of the Internet Computer.

Requirements:

  • Engineering: Solid coding skills at Senior Software Engineer level, an urge to solve complex technical problems, attention to detail, numbers- and metrics-based decision making
  • AI experience: A track record of designing, training and running tailor-made AI models / ML solutions with real-world adoption. Preferably experience with AI model transformation and deterministic AI
  • Product-oriented: Demonstrated experience with eliciting customer requirements and shaping a product to meet these needs
  • Communication: A versatile communicator that can adapt to different stakeholders (researchers, engineers, community). This person should be able to extract the essence of a complex topic so that it can be shared with a wide audience
  • Leadership: Experience leading projects or smaller teams and you can rally a group of people to pursue an ambitious goal. You should have an entrepreneurial spirit with an urge to succeed and make an impact.

Please note that this role requires in-office work from our amazing office in Zurich 3 days per week
