You’re an exceptional applied AI builder who wants a lot of ownership.
You’ve probably spent the last few years building with modern ML and LLMs and have gone much deeper than plugging an API into a product.
This might look like
- 3+ years building and shipping ML or AI systems in production
- Strong experience with modern LLMs and applied AI systems
- Deep understanding of evals – how to construct them, measure model quality and use failures to drive improvement
- Experience with post-training, fine-tuning, RAG, structured outputs, tool use or similar techniques
- Strong instincts around training data – what data matters, how to structure it and how to improve its quality
- Enough engineering ability to take an idea from experiment to production
- Good judgement about when to use a frontier model, an open-source model, retrieval, fine-tuning or something simpler
- Strong product thinking – you care what the system enables for the user, not just the benchmark score
- Comfortable working directly with domain experts to turn human expertise into data, evals and model behaviour
Experience in health, veterinary care or insurance is useful. It isn’t required.
A PhD isn’t required either. We care much more about what you’ve built, how you think and how quickly you learn.
You’ll probably love this role if
- You’re all in on AI and believe it can make the world meaningfully better
- A new model drops and your first instinct is to try it
- You’re optimistic about where the technology is going and curious about what becomes possible next
- You’re empirical – you test things rather than arguing about them in theory
- You move quickly and like turning experiments into real products
- You’re brave enough to try approaches that might fail
- You want a huge amount of influence over product and technical direction
- You want to build the capability yourself before building a team around it
- You like working with very smart people from different disciplines
- You love pets 💗
You probably won’t love this role if
- You want to spend most of your time managing rather than building
- You need a research paper before you’re comfortable trying something
- You think your job ends when a model works in a notebook
- You’re attached to one model, vendor or technical approach
- You prefer long research cycles over shipping, measuring and iterating
- You need a defined roadmap handed to you
- You want everyone to stay neatly inside their lane
What it’s like here
The Fetch team is ambitious, smart, hard-working, thoughtful and kind.
You’ll work directly with the founders and be involved early in product and company strategy.
We build our own platform and products, so there are very few layers between an idea and something being used in the real world.
You’ll have access to proprietary pet health data, vets and vet nurses who deeply understand the domain, and an engineering team that can help turn models into products.
We use AI constantly ourselves. New tools, models and ideas are there to be tried rather than put through months of approvals.
And you’ll be working on something that matters – eventually helping millions of pets live healthier, happier lives.
