About the role

You get to the core of a hard problem quickly and iterate on new ideas without hand-holding.

Our models learn which parts of an input are redundant and strip them out, cutting inference costs for the scale-ups and enterprises building on LLMs.
As a Member of Technical Staff on the research team, you own the model training stack end to end: data, architecture, training, evaluation, and shipping compression models into production.
We also cover housing, food, laundry and cleaning in San Francisco, sponsor visas, and give you the resources and a real seat to build the research team around you.

You are strong in ML fundamentals.
You are fluent with transformers and comfortable turning a paper or a rough idea into a real training run.
Your experience is mostly RAG, agents, prompt engineering, or fine-tuning existing models through an API

You have trained models from scratch.
You have owned data, architecture and a training loop yourself, ideally in a research lab, a startup or a scale-up.
Not only fine-tuning or calling an API.

We train machine learning models that compress raw LLM inputs before they reach the expensive model.

We are a team of five with a tight research and product focus, and we ship what we train.
