    Mission ****

    4Minds is an enterprise AI fine-tuning platform that transforms how organizations build and operate private, domain-specific AI. Unlike static systems, 4Minds’s AI platform learns continuously from live data in real time and can be deployed on-prem or your cloud provider.

    Our patented technologies scale existing engineering teams and empower new AI teams, enabling rapid AI deployment, adaptation, and ROI. Through 4Minds’s automated data pipeline and proprietary knowledge graph, enterprises can connect all their data sources, including Microsoft, Databricks, AWS and Google, creating adaptive AI that surpasses the capabilities of conventional RAG-based systems.

    Role Overview ****

    You'll take on the infrastructure lifecycle from provisioning through monitoring for our frontend and backend of our platform and support our AI teams to optimize how we build, deploy, and run AI workloads at scale. Our hybrid deployment model, supporting both cloud and on-prem installations, creates unique challenges that require creative solutions.
