Prolific is hiring an AI Engineer/ML Engineer - Senior Developers - AI Training - Sacramento, US

Responsibilities

  • Evaluate LLM Architecture Logic: review AI-generated explanations of model architectures, loss functions, and backpropagation for technical accuracy.
  • Audit Code & Notebooks: validate ML-specific code (e.g., training loops, data preprocessing scripts, or model evaluations) for efficiency and correctness.
  • Refine RLHF Frameworks: provide the high-quality human feedback necessary to align models with human intent, safety, and helpfulness.
  • Analyze Model Reasoning: critically assess how an AI model navigates complex chain-of-thought (CoT) prompts and identify where the reasoning breaks down.
  • Benchmark Performance: conduct comparative testing between different model outputs based on specific technical taxonomies and performance metrics.

Requirements

  • a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, or a related quantitative field with a focus on Machine Learning.
  • experience building, deploying, or fine-tuning ML models in a production environment.
  • professional-level understanding of neural network architectures (Transformers, CNNs, RNNs) and optimization techniques.
  • hands-on experience with Prompt Engineering, RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback), or RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) workflows.
  • the ability to audit complex model logic, identify training data contamination, and evaluate mathematical proofs behind ML algorithms.
  • high attention to detail in spotting "hallucinations," biased outputs, or logical failures in AI-generated technical content.
