At Nomi, we're building AI companions that form deeply meaningful, humanlike relationships and immersive roleplaying experiences. With over a million users growing at ~8% month-over-month, your work directly impacts millions of lives. Our users tell us we've helped them find self-worth, leave unhealthy relationships, try therapy, and even save their lives. See countless real user testimonials here: https://nomi.ai/spotlight/ and our recent news coverage here https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/01/human-ai-relationships-love-...

As an ML Engineer or Senior ML Engineer, you'll lead innovation in large language model (LLM) post-training, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), and agentic capabilities, directly shaping how users connect with our AI.

We offer:

    * Full autonomy to experiment and deploy cutting-edge ML techniques
    * A fully remote, async culture emphasizing results over meetings
    * International team with visa sponsorship available
    * For US employees: 401k (100% match up to 5%), fully covered health insurance, equity

    * Extensive hands on experience with things such as multinode training, rlhf, knowledge distillation, test time compute, rag, realtime video
    * Up to date with SOTA in LLM post training (would love to hear what research paper you think is or would be most impactful for our roadmap!)
    * Genuine passion for our product, finds the idea of engaging with our community on Discord/Reddit to be a pro (it is a very different experience than developing enterprise software!)
    * A high internal bar for excellence and relentless drive

Here was their manifesto when they first started: https://openai.com/blog/introducing-openai

> OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research company. Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return. Since our research is free from financial obligations, we can better focus on a positive human impact.

> We believe AI should be an extension of individual human wills and, in the spirit of liberty, as broadly and evenly distributed as possible. The outcome of this venture is uncertain and the work is difficult, but we believe the goal and the structure are right. We hope this is what matters most to the best in the field.

OpenAI as it exists right now contradicts basically every single thing they said they would be. I think that is a nontrivial issue!
