Research Engineer, Tinker, Developer Experience

About the role

We're hiring a research engineer focused on developer experience to build Tinker while using Tinker - working hands-on with real users and turning their challenges into product improvements. You'll write and update cookbook recipes, add library features, prototype integrations, and ensure users can customize models smoothly. This role is a bridge between Tinker users and our research and infrastructure teams. You'll surface user patterns to guide product and infrastructure priorities, and share what you learn through blog posts, demos, and code examples. This is a technical-first role with a major user-facing component. It's ideal for someone who's happiest in a code editor or Jupyter notebook, but who also enjoys talking to creative people. Tinker is flexible by design to empower novel and ambitious use cases for model fine-tuning - your job is to help them succeed.
