We are looking for a senior engineering manager to join our GAI Tech “Accelerator” team at the D. E. Shaw India office based in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, or Gurugram. The GAI Tech team is responsible for building infrastructure and applications of Generative AI (GAI) within the firm. The team's objectives consist of identifying the most productive GAI models, providing tools for sophisticated GAI-based applications, creating initial iterations of GAI tools, and offering support for technical staff involved with GAI projects. The focus of GAI Tech will be on improving areas such as developer productivity, process efficiency, making DESCO data easy to use with LLMs, and promoting generative AI for BU-specific adoption. Additionally, a significant aspect of GAI Tech's role focuses on user education and promoting inter-departmental collaboration. The mission of GAI Tech is to serve as a catalyst for the research, development, and integration of GAI technologies, emphasizing user education and support for other technical teams within the organization. The team focuses on developing and integrating AI tools to enhance productivity and development. This includes AI-powered assistants for writing and coding, tools for AI infrastructure, and custom AI components. GAI Tech is also dedicated to simplifying GAI utilization across the firm through optimized developer tooling, easier programmatic ways to integrate LLMs, and fostering ready-to-use applications for developers. Embracing open-ended experimentation and ongoing evaluation is another critical aspect of GAI Tech's objectives, supporting the team's continuous quest to advance GAI models and techniques. While GAI Tech team is a R&D group, responsible for the development of firmwide GAI tech applications, Accelerator is a new sub team, within GAI Tech to work closely with groups across the firm as both to consult on ideas as well as provide resources to directly implement the highest value projects.
