About fastino
- We're building specialized, efficient language models that beat big general models on the tasks that matter. Our team includes alumni from Google Research, Apple, Stanford, and Cambridge.
- Our open source GLiNER models have been downloaded 50M+ times and are used by teams at NVIDIA, Meta, and Airbnb.
- We've raised $25M (covered in TechCrunch) from Microsoft, Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke, Docker CEO Scott Johnston, and others.
The role
You'll be the engineer who sits inside our customers' stacks and gets them running in production. If you like hard technical problems and talking to the people who have them, this is for you.
What you'll work on
- Embed with customer engineering teams to scope, build, and deploy Fastino models into their production systems.
- Write real code: integrations, data pipelines, eval harnesses, and services that run on customer infra (cloud, VPC, on prem).
- Fine-tune and evaluate models on customer data, and prove they beat the baseline on accuracy, latency, and cost.
