This is a software engineering role that involves designing, improving, and maintaining open source codebases for the InstructLab project that provide RAG and software agent capabilities. This role is upstream and downstream focused, so you will need experience working in upstream, community-based projects, ideally as a project maintainer. Responsibilities include adhering to coding best practices and standards, including well-documented scalable and efficient code. Experience working with ML/AI tooling such as langchain, llamaindex, openrag, and haystack and vector databases will be needed for this role. Experience with prompt engineering, experience working with HuggingFace transformers, and working with frontend tooling such as gradio, streamlit, and fastapi will be helpful.
