Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

2 transfer filings in the last year, covering 2 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 22 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • Developers do not yet grasp what a fine-tuned small model can do until they see one running on a phone, in a browser, or on a Jetson board.
  • Closing that imagination gap is the job.
  • You will ship reference applications and technical resources, communicate regularly with developers across editorial and community channels, and help establish a credible, consistent developer voice for Liquid.

Responsibilities

  • Spun out of MIT CSAIL, we build general-purpose AI systems that run efficiently across deployment targets, from data center accelerators to on-device hardware, ensuring low latency, minimal memory usage, privacy, and reliability.
  • This is a hands-on developer relations role focused on building, writing, and engaging publicly.
  • Technical teams will partner on accuracy, while you will own how the work is explained, presented, and adapted for developer audiences.
  • Build the function: You are defining how Liquid goes to market technically, with direct influence on product direction and access to the founding team.

Requirements

  • Community native: You enjoy answering hard questions in public, you are comfortable being wrong in front of people, and you know the small-model and edge-AI ecosystem well enough to have real opinions.
  • Exceptional public technical communicator: You can turn complex technical work into clear, accurate, compelling writing, talks, demos, and tutorials.
  • Efficient model specialization: experience with on-device deployment (iOS, Android, embedded) or specialized work within the efficient-model ecosystem (Phi, Gemma, Qwen, SmolLM, or distilled architectures)
  • Demonstrated experience in developer relations, developer advocacy, or community engineering, including direct responsibility for engaging and supporting developers publicly.
  • Strong technical writing and editing skills, with the ability to turn complex model, tooling, and deployment concepts into content that developers can understand and act on.

Nice to have

  • Active open-source contributions, especially to the inference or efficient-model tooling ecosystem (llama.cpp, MLX, ONNX, Hugging Face libraries)
  • Experience organizing or running hackathons, workshops, or developer events
  • The LFM quickstart on Hugging Face is the cleanest path to production in the small-model ecosystem, with measurable lift in fine-tunes, downloads, and downstream Spaces.
  • A library of on-device reference apps, at least one each on iOS, Android, and an embedded target, that external developers fork, extend, and ship.
  • A working developer-friction feedback loop: pain points are surfaced and fixed, OSS contributions land, talks get accepted, and inbound developer interest grows.

Compensation

  • Competitive base salary with equity in a unicorn-stage company
  • We pay 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums for employees and dependents
  • 401(k) matching up to 4% of base pay

Benefits

  • Compensation: Competitive base salary with equity in a unicorn-stage company
  • Health: We pay 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums for employees and dependents

Company info
