The Institute of Foundation Models (IFM) is a global AI research lab dedicated to open and independent development of frontier-class foundation models. Launched in May 2025 by MBZUAI, IFM operates from advanced lab facilities in Abu Dhabi, Silicon Valley and Paris. IFM’s model portfolio includes K2 series, the fully open-source fleet of LLMs; Jais, the most advanced Arabic LLM; and PAN, the next-gen World Model for embodied reasoning and real-world simulation.

The Developer Relations Manager drives developer adoption of IFM’s large language models (LLMs). With the model itself as the product, the role helps model users, humans and agents alike, understand its capabilities, evaluate its suitability and build with it.

Based in Silicon Valley, you will work closely with users and builders across the full developer journey, from discovery and evaluation to integration and sustained use. You will work with researchers and engineers to translate that experience into model improvements, earning trust on both sides and using technical evidence to influence priorities without direct authority.

This is a hands-on technical role requiring practical experience building with LLMs and a sound understanding of their capabilities, limitations and use in real applications.
