AI Engineer

Collate, an AI document generation platform for life sciences, is seeking an AI Engineer to build and productionize models and systems. The role involves prompt optimization, red-teaming, and improving LLMs for NLP applications, deploying AI systems at scale, and developing evaluation frameworks. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience deploying ML/AI systems in production, a strong foundation in search and retrieval, and comfort in an early-stage startup.

• Prompt optimization, red-teaming, and improving robustness of LLMs for life-science NLP applications within Collate’s products
• Build pipelines and infrastructure to deploy AI systems reliably, safely, and at scale
• Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teams to translate user needs into AI-driven features
• Develop evaluation frameworks to ensure models are accurate, fair, and trustworthy in real-world life science settings
• Experiment rapidly, while balancing iteration speed with the rigor required for high-stakes applications
• Create tools and workflows that make AI development more efficient across the team

• Hands-on experience building and deploying ML/AI systems in production
• Strong foundation in deploying search and retrieval systems and NLP applications
• Ability to bridge research and engineering — from prototyping models to shipping them in user-facing products
• Comfort working in an early-stage startup where ambiguity is high and ownership is expected
• Motivation to apply AI to life sciences in a way that prioritizes reliability, safety, and impact
