Research Engineer, Web Crawling
Thinking Machines Lab, San Francisco +1
The role
We're hiring a Software Engineer to build and own our web-crawling systems, from distributed collection at internet scale through filtering, deduplication, and deciding what data we keep.
The ideal candidate has built and scaled a web crawler or large-scale data-acquisition systems. In this role, you'll write and own production systems: the crawler itself, the infrastructure that runs it at scale, and the pipelines that turn raw crawls into usable pretraining data. You'll work closely with our pretraining and data teams to understand what's actually moving model quality, but this is fundamentally an engineering role, not a research one.
