About the Job

Requirements

At least 5 years of experience as a Research Scientist or Algorithm Developer within world-class AI labs or high-growth generative AI startups.
A Ph.D. or Master’s degree with honors in computer science, data science, statistics, or a highly quantitative field from a top-tier institution.
Expert-level proficiency in PyTorch and deep learning training and inference optimization.
Hands-on experience training, fine-tuning, or optimizing large-scale large language models in research or production environments.
Advanced programming skills in Python and/or C/C++ with experience in production-grade code and big data infrastructure.
A portfolio of peer-reviewed publications in top-tier artificial intelligence and machine learning venues or granted patents in advanced machine learning systems.

Responsibilities

Conduct research in deep learning and generative AI, specializing in Foundation Models, natural language processing, alignment, and multimodal learning.
Address the impact of models on production traffic, cost, quality, and latency.
Train and scale state-of-the-art architectures using post-training supervised fine-tuning, knowledge distillation, low-rank adaptation, and sparse or hybrid model architectures.
Own the AI lifecycle, from algorithmic prototyping and synthetic data generation to deploying production-grade AI features in fast-paced or big-data environments.
Drive research initiatives, author publications or patents, and collaborate with other research teams to integrate intelligent capabilities into core products.

Job Description

We are seeking a highly accomplished AI Researcher to be part of the development of next-generation Foundation Models and Generative AI systems. In this role, you will bridge the gap between cutting-edge academic research and production-grade AI infrastructure. You will build, design, and fine-tune large-scale architectures (including LLMs, Multimodal, and Tabular Foundation Models) while applying them to complex, real-world domains like agentic behavior, coding and decision making.

In your day-to-day, you will:

Conduct pioneering research in deep learning and generative AI, specializing in Foundation Models, NLP, alignment, and multimodal learning
Deal with the impact of the models on production traffic, cost quality and latency
Train and scale state-of-the-art architectures using techniques like Post-Training SFT, Knowledge Distillation, LoRA, and sparse/hybrid model architectures
Own the AI lifecycle—from algorithmic prototyping and synthetic data generation to deploying production-grade AI features in fast-paced or big-data environments
Drive research initiatives, author publications/patents, and collaborate with other research teams to integrate intelligent capabilities into core products

Qualifications

5+ years of experience as a Research Scientist or Algorithm Developer within world-class AI labs or high-growth GenAI startups
Ph.D. or Master’s degree with honors in computer science, data science, statistics, or a highly quantitative field from a top-tier institution
Expert-level proficiency in PyTorch and deep learning training/inference optimization
Hands-on experience training, fine-tuning, or optimizing large-scale LLMs in research or production environments
Advanced programming skills in Python and/or C/C++ with experience in production-grade code and big data infrastructure
A portfolio of peer-reviewed publications in top-tier AI/ML venues or granted patents in advanced machine learning systems
