Tech Lead, LLM & Generative AI (Full Remote - Netherlands)

EverAI is building the future of AI companionship and is looking for a Tech Lead to take the helm of their LLM team. The role involves shipping code, leading from the front, and architecting the system. The company is a fully remote group of A-players from Tier 1 tech, led by an exec team who’ve launched, scaled, and exited multiple companies.

Requirements

• 8+ years of engineering experience with a significant portion dedicated to shipping ML/LLM features to millions of active users
• Deep technical expertise in Python/PyTorch and comfortable with the modern LLM stack (vLLM, HuggingFace, fine-tuning pipelines, eval frameworks)
• Understanding of the "Uncensored" challenge and ability to work with NSFW content
• Intuition for Alignment: understanding the physics of LLMs—how prompt conditioning, temperature, and sampling affect the "soul" of a chatbot
• Doer Mindset: value velocity and can distinguish between a "perfect" academic solution and a "shippable" production solution
• Owner: obsess over metrics, regressions, and the user experience long after the code has been merged

Benefits

• 4 weeks (20 working days) of PTO per year to recharge and reset
• Annual Gathering: a yearly in-person meetup to connect, brainstorm, and celebrate wins together
• Health & Wellness Support: up to $200 per year for wellbeing expenses + unlimited 1:1 sessions with psychologists and lifestyle experts through OpenUp (also available for up to three family members)

• Learning Budget: dedicated funds to support your professional growth: courses, books, conferences, events, or certifications
• Equipment: company laptop provided + monitor budget up to $250 for your workspace setup
• AI Tools Access: premium access to ChatGPT, Cursor, Hugging Face, and others, to power your ideas and workflows
