Requirements
  • Masters degree in Computer Science, Engineering, related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong coding skills in Python and experience with PyTorch/JAX and modern LLM tooling for inference and fine‑tuning.
  • Experience in applied research engineering, demonstrated by impactful academic projects or internships in LLMs, search/RL, or compilers/verification.
  • Exposure to evaluation frameworks, unit/property‑based testing, and performance profiling.
Responsibilities
  • Support the development of scalable experimentation foundations with strong reproducibility and observability
  • Help create and improve robust prompt and code-selection tooling.
  • Assist in optimizing our system’s inference and infrastructure for better efficiency.
  • Work with the team (ML engineers and researchers) to implement new ideas.
  • Engage with the research community to advance the state of algorithmic discovery.
Desired Qualifications
  • Contributions to open research or community tooling.
  • Familiarity with algorithm design, and practical understanding of reinforcement learning, evolutionary methods and optimization methods.

Hive is a platform that automatically designs, tests, and optimizes algorithms for important business and machine learning tasks. It runs multiple agents in parallel, evaluates options against real performance metrics, and uses synthesis-style methods to assemble high-performance, task-tailored algorithms that adapt as environments change. Unlike generic methods, Hive delivers bespoke solutions without requiring large in-house engineering teams and stays effective as conditions shift. Its goal is to let organizations access custom, high-performance algorithms quickly and with less engineering effort, improving efficiency in planning, training, routing, and other critical tasks.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Quantinuum uses Hive to translate natural language into quantum circuits, democratizing quantum algorithm design for researchers.
  • Hive identified training algorithms surpassing human methods by over 15% on established AI benchmarks for resource allocation.
  • Hive uncovered long-term planning algorithms operating magnitudes faster than traditional systems in an industrial challenge from Airbus.

What critics are saying

  • Google DeepMind's AlphaEvolve delivers 23–32% speedups in LLM tasks, directly outcompeting Hiverge's core value proposition soon.
  • Open-source AlphaTensor and FunShare replicate Hive's parallel-agent architecture at zero cost, eroding paid cloud marketplace adoption.
  • Hiverge's six-employee team lacks engineering depth to scale beyond proof-of-concept while competitors deploy validated enterprise libraries.

What makes Hiverge unique

  • Hiverge's Hive platform uses parallel agents to discover custom algorithms surpassing human baselines by over 15%.
  • Former Google DeepMind researchers automate algorithm design, testing, and optimization for critical business and machine learning tasks.
  • Hive adapts to concrete metrics, enabling businesses to accelerate AI training and optimize resource allocation without large engineering teams.
