Staff Software Engineer, Full Stack - Gen AI

<p>Our Generative AI Data Engine powers the world’s most advanced LLMs and generative models through world-class RLHF (Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback), human data generation, model evaluation, safety, and alignment. The data we are producing is some of the most important work for how humanity will interact with AI.</p> <p>This is a horizontal, high-impact <strong>L6 Staff Fullstack Engineer &amp; Architect</strong> position reporting directly to the Director of Contributor Engineering.</p> <p>Instead of being tied to a single domain, your scope is spread across all <strong>Contributor (CB) teams</strong> (including Allocation, Growth,&nbsp; Trust &amp; Safety, Pay, and Allocations). Together, these teams power Scale’s AI data operations - from building high-impact datasets that push the boundaries of LLM capabilities, to optimizing contributor onboarding and incentives, to safeguarding data integrity through advanced trust, safety, and security measures. They work at the intersection of ML, operations, and analytics to ensure we deliver the highest-quality data at scale.</p> <p>You will act as an organizational architect and tech lead, dynamically embedding yourself into the highest-priority projects across the org to guarantee execution, unblock teams, and successfully ship mission-critical initiatives.
