About the role
- The most intelligent systems will increasingly be defined not just by what they know, but by how well they can interact with the world.
- For the first time, researchers who care deeply about intelligence and efficiency must also be obsessed with the interface through which a model acts.
- If any of this resonates, we'd love to hear from you.
Responsibilities
- Cross-Stack Optimization: You collaborate across software, hardware, and algorithmic domains to unlock system-wide efficiency gains.
- You collaborate across software, hardware, and algorithmic domains to unlock system-wide efficiency gains.
- 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
- Knowledge of model optimization techniques (RLHF, finetuning)
- Experience in an industry lab with computing at scale
- Innovation: You have ideas and you move fast.
- Publishing record at ICML, NeurIPS, ACL, ICLR, EMNLP.
- Deep expertis e in at least one area: model efficiency, real time alignment or algorithmic optimization
- 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.
- Lunch Stipend: Weekly meal allowance for take-out or grocery delivery.
- Well-Being: Comprehensive medical benefits and generous paid time off.
- Our frontier work centers on efficiency, gradient-free exploration, real-time learning, and interface design.
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.
