What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer - Post-training Data position at Magic?
Magic’s mission is to build safe AGI that accelerates humanity’s progress on the world’s most important problems. We believe the most promising path to safe AGI lies in automating research and code generation to improve models and solve alignment more reliably than humans can alone. Our approach combines frontier-scale pre-training, domain-specific RL, ultra-long context, and inference-time compute to achieve this goal.
About the role:
As a Software Engineer working on our post-training data infrastructure, you write efficient and robust data pipelines and work with the research and Applied teams to devise strategies for gathering and maintaining specific, diverse datasets at scale.
