At nao Labs, we are reimagining how data work gets done. Data work is different from traditional software development, and it deserves a specialised workflow. That’s why we’re creating nao—an AI-powered code editor tailored for data workers.
We're looking for a Founding AI Engineer to join nao Labs and help define the future of data work.
You should have deep experience across the generative AI stack—from model training, fine-tuning, and evaluation to advanced techniques like pre-prompting, RL for Fill-in-the-Middle (FIM), code generation, and task-specific adaptation.
You will:
Lead AI development at nao Labs
Train, fine-tune, and evaluate models for data engineering, analytics and science related tasks
Apply RL and other techniques for next-gen FIM and codegen systems
Build internal tooling for efficient experimentation and deployment You are:
An expert in LLMs, transformers, RLHF, and code models
