About the role

  • This is a research role which is focused on real world impact.
  • A revolution is underway where the cost of generating synthetic data is now low enough that we can treat the data space as malleable and something which can be optimized.
  • We can steer synthetic data towards desirable and make previously invisible worlds with limited data coverage more visible.

Responsibilities

  • Innovation: innovate on our product to co-design algorithms that react real-time to product signal and feedback. Design new ways of giving feedback that drive better algorithms.
  • Cross-Stack Optimization: collaborate across software, hardware, and algorithmic domains to achieve system-wide efficiency gains
  • Innovation: innovate on our product to co-design algorithms that react real-time to product signal and feedback.
  • Design new ways of giving feedback that drive better algorithms.
  • We co-design serving, algorithms, and interface as one system to maximize efficiency and enable real-time adaptation.
  • The most intelligent system will increasingly be defined by building an algorithm that can interact with the world.
  • We're building intelligence that evolves alongside you, so we encourage you to keep expanding your horizons.

Requirements

  • A PhD or equivalent research experience in a computer science field
  • 4-5+ years of industry experience
  • Deep expertise in at least one area: model efficiency, real time alignment or algorithmic optimization
  • Knowledge of model optimization techniques (RLHF, finetuning)
  • Experience in an industry lab with computing at scale
  • Systems thinking ability to understand and optimize across the full ML stack
  • Strong programming skills in Python. Experience with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow)
  • Above all, we're looking for great teammates who make work feel lighter and aren't afraid to go out on a limb with bold ideas. You don't need to be perfect, but you do need to be adaptable. We encourage you to apply, even if you don't check every box.

Compensation

  • Adaption Passport: Annual travel stipend to explore a country you've never visited.

Benefits

  • Flexible work: In-person collaboration in the Bay Area, a distributed global-first team, and team offsites.
  • Adaption Passport: Annual travel stipend to explore a country you've never visited.
  • Lunch Stipend: Weekly meal allowance for take-out or grocery delivery.
  • Well-Being: Comprehensive medical benefits and generous paid time off.

Company info

  • Most AI is frozen in place - it doesn't adapt to the world.
  • We think that's backwards.
  • Our mandate is to build efficient intelligence that evolves in real-time.
  • Our vision is AI systems that are flexible, personalized, and accessible to everyone.
  • We believe efficiency is what makes this possible - it's how we expand access and ensure innovation benefits the many, not the few.
  • We believe in talent density: bringing together the best and most driven individuals to push the boundaries of continual adaptation.
  • We're looking for builders and creative thinkers ready to shape the next era of intelligence.
