Research Engineer - Fair, Sgt

Meta Meta · Big Tech · Paris, France

Research Engineer role at Meta's FAIR focused on advancing large language models, involving research, engineering, optimization, and deployment of both product and frontier models. Requires innovation, execution of research, experimental design, implementation, evaluation, and collaboration with cross-functional teams. Experience in building LLM systems at scale and publications in top-tier venues are essential.

What you'd actually do

  1. Innovate, lead, and execute pioneering algorithmic research to push the state-of-the-art in generative models and LLM performance
  2. Directly contribute to the experimental process, including designing details, implementing reusable code, running evaluations, and organizing results
  3. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (research, product, infra) to build new and advance LLM optimization
  4. Analyze and optimize code for quality, efficiency, and performance, and provide feedback to peers during code reviews
  5. Lead initiatives, provide technical guidance and mentorship to peers, and help onboard new team members
