Job Description
Work as a Senior Software Engineer on a small team to develop harden and maintain of artificial intelligence software tools and patterns for basic science and health research at a worldclass research tools will be leveraged by researchers across UCSF to support cuttingedge work in the basic sciences sociobehavioral studies epidemiology and public and global health initiatives.
The incumbent will lead the curation of an ecosystem of opensource AI libraries and tools to be reviewed hardened and containerized for researchers to use in UCSFs secure environments in the Research Analysis Environment the Facility for Advanced Compute and the new UCSF AI HPC environment.
The tools provided in this ecosystem will align where possible with Jupyter code sample libraries the team will provide for researchers to enable them to progress from learning and discovery into productionquality deployment of tools.
Although the incumbents duties will initially focus on GenAI/LLM tooling it will establish frameworks and strategies that would also support many other AI/ML tools. Providing standardized tooling now will significantly reduce friction for researchers to integrate technologies for trustworthy AI in the future as the pathway for that effort becomes clearer.
Examples of tooling to be developed into reusable patterns includes (but are not limited to):
Templates for transformers and inference models (encoder/decoders such as BERT Llama etc)
AI integration libraries (such as Langchain LlamaIndex AutoGPT etc)
Vector databases and adapters (ie ChromaDB for local discovery Azure for cloud)
Multiagent and skillsbased tools (ie Autogen)
Language agent model and concept mapping strategies (ie AI tools for Neo4j)
One of the key outcomes of this work will be a set of building blocks which can be combined to produce productionready products used by other teams including an LLM and RAGbased copilot for UCSFs research data assets and a chatbot testing platform with the capacity for integration against sensitive research data.
In addition to contributing to the engineering efforts in support of the above this position will provide a key role in crafting realworld implementation patterns for these tools in our onprem and hardened cloud infrastructure. The successful candidate will have background in delivering products and applications managing release cycles and experience working with IT teams in a large organization to deploy complex applications.
The ideal candidate is passionate about open source software creating welldocumented standards and design patterns relied on by other data engineers. Additional responsibilities of the position may include assisting clients via complex AI solutioning requests and consults implementation troubleshooting communicating with key stakeholders via oneonone training documentation requirements gathering and other duties as assigned.
