Job Title: Member of Technical Staff
Salary: $200,000 – $350,000 + equity
Location: Bay Area

Responsibilities:
  • Contribute to the training and optimization of foundational generative models, including LLMs, diffusion models, and multimodal architectures (e.g., video, 3D, audio)
  • Design scalable algorithms and training strategies for large-scale distributed training (multi-GPU, multi-node)
  • Build core infrastructure, tools, and pipelines for data preprocessing, model training, evaluation, and deployment
  • Explore and integrate cutting-edge techniques in model compression, parallelism, and efficient inference
  • Collaborate across research, engineering, and product teams to align system design with product applications and deployment goals
  • Stay up to date with state-of-the-art advancements in generative modeling, training infrastructure, and optimization — and publish when applicable

Requirements:
  • Advanced degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field (or equivalent practical experience in training large models)
  • Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX
  • Experience in at least one of the following areas:
  • Large-scale model training and optimization (LLMs, diffusion, transformers, etc.)
  • Scalable infrastructure for ML training (e.g., Ray, Kubernetes, distributed systems)
  • Efficient data pipelines for training foundational models on multi-modal data (text, image, video, 3D)
  • Systems-level contributions for compute, parallelism (e.g., FSDP, ZeRO, sharding), or inference efficiency
  • Familiarity with evaluating generative models, including metrics, benchmarks, and human-in-the-loop evaluation
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills; ability to work across disciplines and teams
  • Publication record in top-tier ML or systems conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, SOSP, MLSys) is a plus
    Benefits:
    • Fully Covered Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
    • Paid Time Off
    • Parental Leave
    • Free Lunches
    • Team Building Events
    • Collaborative Team environment
