American Values 2024 Is Hiring!

AI Engineer

AV24 is looking to build an AI-powered knowledge management tool to mine the collective intelligence of the community of people who are supporters of RFK Jr. The base of this tool will be a collection of documents, articles, social media posts, videos, audio files, and images produced by the community of people that support RFK Jr. Various examples of these files will include: personal endorsements, policy articles, interviews with RFK Jr., interviews with RFK Jr. supporters, news articles, media critiques, podcasts, social media posts, etc.

RFK Jr. has a large number of enthusiastic supporters who are willing to take the time to add information to this knowledge base. In order to facilitate the crowd sourcing of this information, we will need to develop tools to allow a community of users to contribute information and provide links to existing media about RFK Jr., policy issues, and the American political discourse.

In addition, we will need to develop tools to allow for a community of trusted users to provide feedback and guidance to continually reinforce and refine the underlying LLM model implementation.

The core of this system is expected to be our own open source LLM which we control. This LLM will be given access to several databases populated with content.

The goal of this system is to use AI tools to integrate the combined knowledge of the community of RFK Jr. supporters and have an AI that can discuss political and policy issues with the combined intelligence of the American populace.

There will be two groups of users:

The general public – The general public will interface with the model through a traditional AI LLM chat interface. Over time, we may add audio, image, and video output, but these formats are not part of the initial product

Dedicated RFK Jr. supporters (super users) – In addition to chatting, these users should be able to contribute various media files and links. They should also be able to critique chatbot answers and provide feedback which can be incorporated into the system.

This system will also be connected to data sources containing event and calendar info, lists of supporters and contact info, local events, guides on how to get involved, etc.

Qualifications:

AV24 is looking to hire a developer or team of developers with experience building AI-powered knowledge management systems to build the system described above. Due to the constraints of the election calendar, a product must be available for initial release within a month or two. Resources are available to increase the size of the development team as needed.

Successful candidates will have experience with open source LLMs, RAG, fine tuning, and other techniques to tune LLMs. Familiarity with Llamaindex and Langchain a big plus.

Experience with AI-powered enterprise knowledge management systems a plus.
