The Role

About RIVER

RIVER is a new social platform that redefines how personal data is owned, controlled, and monetized.

On RIVER you can do all the things you love – Chat, Share, Search & Shop – but only on RIVER, can you see ALL your data. You decide what to sell, to who, and for how long….and what to keep private.

The more you play, the more RIVER will pay! It’s $$ for data, on your terms.

In the digital world, your data is your identity. Take back control of your digital life. Own your identity.

It’s Your Data, Your Life.

  • It knows you. Rivera securely scans all your encrypted data on RIVER and gives you personalised and curated advice. Rivera serves you, not anyone else, and certainly not the highest bidder.
  • It’s proactive and predictive. Rivera anticipates your needs and offers to help without you even asking.

  • Advanced degree in CS/AI/ML or equivalent practical experience
  • Proficiency in Python + modern ML stack (PyTorch/TensorFlow, LangChain, etc.)
  • Experience with:
    • Designing, developing, deploying and measuring an end-to-end AI system
    • Fine-tuning LLMs and engineering prompts
    • Deploying systems handling >1M daily interactions
    • Balancing model performance with computational efficiency
    • Real-time data pipelines (Apache Kafka/Spark)
    • API integration patterns (REST/gRPC/GraphQL)
    • Collaborative filtering techniques

Above all. you must have:

  • Strong communication skills,
  • An entrepreneurial mindset,
  • A strong interest and awareness of the rapidly changing field of generative AI, LLMs, and machine learning, and
  • A passion for ethical AI design and data sovereignty principles, sharing our vision that AI should empower users, not exploit them.

What you’ll be doing

  • Designing reinforcement learning systems for Rivera’s personalized recommendation engine
  • Implementing hybrid search architectures (vector + traditional) with real-time trend analysis
  • Developing novel data valuation metrics
  • Building multi-agent preference aggregation models for group commerce features
  • Creating explainable AI components that reveal decision-making processes

Why you should join RIVER

At RIVER, we have a shared passion to meet the growing demand for data sovereignty and control.

RIVER’s team blends experience, innovation, start-up hustle, sustained growth, and profitability. They have core competencies in entrepreneurship, engineering, design, product development, finance, and a proven track record of success – ideation to sustained growth, and everything in between.
