ARTIFICIAL ANALYSIS | MTS, Forward Deployed Engineer + more | San Francisco, CA (ON-SITE, 5 days) or Melbourne, Australia (ON-SITE, 3 days) | Full-time | https://artificialanalysis.ai/careers

We're an independent AI benchmarking company. We benchmark language models, inference providers, hardware, image/video and speech, and our Intelligence Index is widely cited when new models launch. Team of ~50, backed by Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, Andrew Ng and others.

The people who build our evals also work directly with the AI labs, often on pre-release models. Flat structure, lots of ownership.

Main hiring needs:

* Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), Language Models: run our LLM benchmarking stack and work directly with the labs

* Member of Technical Staff (MTS), Language Model Evaluations: build frontier evals (datasets, harnesses, benchmarks)

* MTS, Inference: benchmark speed, quality and price across serverless inference providers

* MTS, Hardware: benchmark GPUs, TPUs and custom silicon

* MTS, Speech: own our TTS, STT and speech-to-speech evals

Also hiring for media generation, full stack, ML engineering, robotics and product roles.
