About the role

About the Role

We’re looking for an AI Researcher focused on AI architecture research to help design, analyze, and advance next-generation model architectures. You’ll work at the intersection of theory and production—publishing novel research while collaborating closely with engineers to turn ideas into real systems.

  • This role is ideal for someone who has published research papers and wants to see their work directly shape deployed models, not just benchmarks.

What You’ll Work On

  • Research and design novel AI architectures (e.g. alternatives to standard Transformer designs, long-context models, efficient sequence modeling, hybrid architectures)
  • Explore architectural improvements for scalability, efficiency, and stability
  • Prototype and evaluate new architectures through ablations, benchmarks, and empirical studies
  • Author and co-author research papers for top ML conferences and journals
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to translate research into training and inference systems
  • Stay current with state-of-the-art research and identify promising directions early

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong background in machine learning research , with a focus on model architecture
  • Publication record in ML/AI venues (e.g. NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, COLM, ACL, EMNLP, arXiv)

Deep understanding of

Neural network architectures

  • Sequence models and attention mechanisms

Training dynamics and optimization

  • Hands-on experience with PyTorch or JAX
  • Ability to reason rigorously, design clean experiments, and communicate results clearly
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment

Nice to Have

  • Experience with non-Transformer architectures (e.g. RNN-based, state-space, hybrid models)
  • Work on long-context or memory-efficient models

Open-source research contributions

  • Experience bridging research and production systems
  • Background in efficient training or inference-aware architecture design

Why Join Us

  • High ownership over research direction and roadmap
  • Clear path to publishing impactful work
  • Tight feedback loop between research and real-world deployment
  • Small, highly technical team with strong research culture
  • Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
