<div><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Solving Self-Improving Superintelligence</b></h1><p>
The human brain is a sponge. Today&rsquo;s AI brains are brittle and rigid. At Letta, we&rsquo;re building self-improving artificial intelligence: creating agents that continually learn from experience and adapt over time.</p><p>
Founded by the creators of MemGPT from UC Berkeley&rsquo;s Sky Computing Lab (the birthplace of Spark and Ray). Backed by Jeff Dean, Clem Delangue, and pioneers across AI infrastructure. Our agents already power production systems at companies like 11x and Bilt Rewards, learning and improving every day.</p><p>
We&rsquo;re assembling a world-class team of researchers and engineers to solve AI&rsquo;s hardest problem: making machines that can reason, remember, and learn the way humans do.</p><p></p><p><i>
Note that this role is </i><b><i>in-person (no hybrid)</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>5 days a week </i></b><i>in downtown San Francisco.</i></p><p></p><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Your role</b></h1><p>
You will design the long-term memory architecture for LLMs. At Letta, you'll work with a world-class, tight-knit team of AI researchers and engineers towards our vision of self-improving superintelligence.

What You&rsquo;re Responsible For:</b></h2><ul><li><p>

You want to work a 9-5, and value clear separation of work from life.</b> The stakes are the highest they've ever been, and the only moat is execution velocity. Operating on a strict 9-5 guarantees failure.</p></li><li><p><b>

<div><b>About the Role</b>
<br>
<br>
Have you ever ordered a car service on Uber, and when the ride arrives, wondered how it got to you so fast? Ever ordered food on UberEats and wondered where the driver was before receiving your order and how long it took to get to the restaurant or if your order was ready when the courier arrived? Ever wondered why your grocery delivery from Uber always has the best apple picked?
<br>
<br>
If so, Uber is for you. In our ML and Science division, we strive to make magic within Uber's marketplace. This requires judgment to make difficult trade-offs, blending algorithms with human resourcefulness, and the ability to build simplicity from complexity. When we get the balance right for everyone, Uber magic happens. We build systems to peer into the future to craft the most cost-efficient marketplace for matching supply and demand. We are passionate about using innovative economics, machine learning, and scalable distributed software that automates and optimizes every aspect of this intricate dance between participants of the marketplace.
<br>
<br>
We are involved in every stage of the product development cycle and use data to inform product decisions, build models to power our solutions, and also develop platform tools that are used across teams with a primary focus on Mobility and Delivery. We work with millions of earners across the globe to make this magic happen and want you to join us!
<br>

<b>About the Team</b>
<br>
<br>
Earners (drivers and couriers) are an integral part of Uber's multi-sided marketplace. They provide the time and the means to move people and things. Importantly, they enable the connection between the physical and digital world to make the movement happen at the push of a button for everyone, everywhere.
<br>
<br>
Within Uber, Earner Growth plays a critical role in earners' journey as the team is responsible for earner onboarding, activation, early life cycle, and resurrection. This presents the teams with the opportunity to shape and tailor the product experience during earners' many firsts (i.e., first time interacting on the Uber platform, choosing the earning opportunity, going online, receiving incentive offers, completing a trip, or reading the earnings summary). These firsts can be daunting.
<br>
<br>
Therefore, making sure that the earner journey is great at every touch point is important to build trust with Earners, communicate Uber's value proposition, and ensure each firsts to be a great experience.

</li><li>Design recommendation engines to recommend the most relevant earning opportunities and early lifecycle content
</li><li>Develop matching algorithms for driver to driver mentorship program
</li><li>Model and predict earner behaviors to improve earner experience throughout the onboarding funnel
</li><li>The team employs a variety of ML/AI techniques, spanning from causal ML meta learners, supervised ML, RL multi-armed bandits, genAI LLM to deep learning embeddings to build impactful data products.
</li><li>Work closely with multi-functional leads to develop technical vision, new methodological approaches, and drive team direction.
</li><li>Collaborate with cross-functional teams such as product, engineering, operations, and marketing to drive ML system development end-to-end from conceptualization to final product.
</li></ul><b>Basic Qualifications</b>
<ul><li>PhD or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Operations Research, Statistics, or other related quantitative fields or related field
</li><li>4 years minimum of industry experience as a Machine Learning Engineer/Research Scientist with a strong focus on deep learning and probabilistic modeling.
</li><li>Proficiency in multiple object-oriented programming languages (e.g. Python, Go, Java, C++).
</li><li>Experience with any of the following: Spark, Hive, Kafka, Cassandra.
</li><li>Experience building and productionizing innovative end-to-end Machine Learning systems.
</li><li>Experience in exploratory data analysis, statistical modeling, hypothesis testing, and experimental design.
</li><li>Experience working with cross-functional teams(product, science, product ops etc).
</li></ul><b>Preferred Qualifications</b>
<ul><li>5+ years of industry experience in machine learning, including building and deploying ML models.
