Solutions Engineer (AI/ML, Pre-Sales)

About The Role

We are looking for a highly technical Solutions Engineer with deep ML and AI platform experience to support customers in a pre-sales role. In this role, you will partner closely with our most strategic prospects to deeply understand their data curation needs, technical constraints, and business goals, and to design scalable solutions that demonstrate the impact of DatologyAI’s platform.

This role requires strong hands-on understanding of modern LLM/VLM training and evaluation. You will work directly with customer ML teams to design PoCs that connect data curation decisions to measurable outcomes in model quality, training efficiency, and downstream performance—across the full lifecycle of training (pre-training, mid-training, and post-training), and with rigorous evaluation plans and reporting.

About The Company

Models are what they eat. But a large portion of training compute is wasted training on data that are already learned, irrelevant, or even harmful, leading to worse models that cost more to train and deploy. At DatologyAI, we’ve built a state of the art data curation suite to automatically curate and optimize petabytes of data to create the best possible training data for your models. Training on curated data can dramatically reduce training time and cost (7-40x faster training depending on the use case), dramatically increase model performance as if you had trained on >10x more raw data without increasing the cost of training, and allow smaller models with fewer than half the parameters to outperform larger models despite using far less compute at inference time, substantially reducing the cost of deployment.

For more details, check out our recent research on synthetic data scaling (BeyondWeb) and pretraining with domain-specific data (The Finetuner’s Fallacy).

We raised a total of $57.5M in two rounds, a Seed and Series A. Our investors include Felicis Ventures, Radical Ventures, Amplify Partners, Microsoft, Amazon, and AI visionaries like Geoff Hinton, Yann LeCun, Jeff Dean, and many others who deeply understand the importance and difficulty of identifying and optimizing the best possible training data for models.

Our team has pioneered this frontier research area and has the deep expertise on both data research and data engineering necessary to solve this incredibly challenging problem and make data curation easy for anyone who wants to train their own model on their own data.

This role is based in Redwood City, CA. We are in office 4 days a week.
