TL;DR · Member of Technical Staff Data Flywheel Infra

Member of Technical Staff - Data Flywheel Infra, Frontier Models joins the Superintelligence Team to build infrastructure that transforms first-party, third-party, model signals, and synthetic data into high-quality training material for frontier LLM and multimodal models. The role involves building scalable systems for data ingestion, curation, and evaluation feedback loops while ensuring all datasets remain secure, policy-compliant, and traceable. You will develop automated pipelines for filtering, deduplication, and quality scoring, as well as infrastructure for provenance, licensing, and PII protection. Key responsibilities include creating synthetic data pipelines using LLMs and VLMs and establishing metrics for dataset diversity and contamination. The ideal candidate possesses expertise in Python, SQL, Spark, Flink, or Ray to solve complex problems regarding data governance, security, and the technical lifecycle of training models for advanced AI systems.

What you'll do

  • Build scalable infrastructure for ingesting, processing, and serving first-party and third-party data for model pre-training and post-training.
  • Integrate automated governance, security, and compliance features including PII detection, usage rights, and audit workflows into the data platform.
  • Develop automated pipelines for data filtering, deduplication, quality scoring, and semantic enrichment to construct high-quality datasets.
  • Create feedback loops that convert model failures and evaluation signals into actionable tasks for targeted data acquisition and improvement.
  • Build synthetic and AI-native data pipelines using LLMs and agents to automate labeling, validation, and transformation.
  • Develop metrics and infrastructure to monitor dataset quality, diversity, contamination, and policy compliance.
  • Maintain clear provenance between human-created, third-party, and model-generated data while enforcing usage constraints.

What we're looking for

  • A Master's degree in a relevant field and 4+ years of experience in data science, software development, or related fields.
  • A Bachelor's degree in a relevant field and 6+ years of experience in data science, software development, or related fields.
  • Equivalent professional experience to the specified degree and years of experience requirements.
  • Software engineering experience using Python, SQL, Spark, Flink, or Ray.
  • Experience building AI training-data governance platforms including provenance, licensing, PII handling, and policy enforcement.
  • Experience managing third-party datasets with complex contractual restrictions and privacy-aware systems for first-party data.
  • Experience building evaluation-to-failure mining feedback loops and working with synthetic data or model graders.
  • Understanding of modern LLM training workflows including pre-training, SFT, RL, and multimodal dataset management.
