About the role
We're looking for an innovative, driven individual to help accelerate the development of a private, open-source-based AI platform currently in beta. You'll be working alongside a lead engineer and directly with the founder to bring a working AI prototype to life focused on delivering AI-driven imaging and chat capabilities for an oil & gas client.
This is a hands-on opportunity to get deeply involved in AI product architecture, machine learning modeling, and system optimization using cutting-edge open-source tools. Ideal for a local student or recent grad with a passion for AI, systems, and turning ideas into real-world tools.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, implement, and deploy machine learning models using open-source frameworks.
- Work on system architecture design and model tuning.
- Maintain and optimize private AI infrastructure (on-prem AI server).
- Collaborate with existing engineer on data handling and modeling strategies.
- Build and maintain databases using SQL and Python.
- Integrate and optimize tools like Olamma, MidJourney-style image generation, and open-source GPT chat UIs.
- Support hardware/software integration (Ubuntu Linux, NVIDIA GPU software, firewall and server configuration).
- Prototype and test AI imaging + chat applications tailored for an oil & gas use case.
- Develop and maintain clear, thorough technical documentation for all systems, models, and processes.
