Not Diamond is a multi-model AI infrastructure platform that helps enterprise AI/ML seamlessly assess, onboard, and optimize new AI models through evaluation, automatic prompt adaptation, intelligent model routing, and continuous monitoring. Instead of waterfalling development inefficiently through one model at a time, we help leading startups and Fortune 100s save tens of thousands of engineering hours and improve output accuracy up to 35% by evaluating all candidate model and parameter configurations in parallel through our data-driven platform. We’re backed by Defy VC and angels like Jeff Dean (Google), Julien Chaumond (Hugging Face), Ion Stoica (Anyscale, Databricks), Zack Kass (OpenAI), Tom Preston-Werner (Github), Scott Belsky (Adobe), Jeff Weiner (LinkedIn), Eoghan McCabe (Intercom), Alex Chung (Giphy), and many more.
We believe in a multi-model future. The world won't have one single, giant model that everyone sends everything to—instead, there will be many foundation models, millions of fine-tuned variants of those models, and billions of agents and other custom inference engines running on top of them. We believe this is not only a better future for AI, but a safer one as well. But for this to happen, it will require massive infrastructure shifts that can enable us to better ensemble diverse models together. We started Not Diamond to enable this multi-model future.
As a backend and infrastructure engineer at Not Diamond, you’ll work closely with myself and our founding team to help define and execute our technical vision and contribute to a world-class research and engineering organization. We want to work with immensely thoughtful, voraciously curious, and mission-driven contributors. You will play a pivotal role in helping us architect and improve our backend services, optimize our infrastructure to ensure maximum speed and reliability, scale our data infrastructure, and improve the reliability of our hosted and VPC deployment processes. Ideally we’re looking to work with folks who have at least 6+ years of experience with backend, data, and infra with strong familiarity of Python, and who have built companies from 0 to 1.
We offer a competitive salary, generous equity, and robust benefits, with the option to start on a contract-to-hire basis. And while we think of this as an opportunity to build a generational company from the ground-up, we also guarantee an investment in your next startup if you ever decide to build something yourself in the future. Our team is guided by top-percentile ambition, constant learning, and a bias towards action, and our focus on execution is rooted in a dedication to emotional intelligence, high integrity, and the ability to work through healthy conflict.
