• Design feedback mechanisms that drive algorithmic improvements
• Optimize across the full ML stack—software, hardware, and algorithms—for system-wide efficiency
• Measure and validate real-world impact of research contributions
• Collaborate cross-functionally on model efficiency and algorithmic optimization

What they're looking for

• Deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow)
• Python programming
• Model optimization techniques (RLHF, fine-tuning)
• Systems thinking and ML stack optimization
• Expertise in model efficiency, real-time alignment, or algorithmic optimization
• Large-scale distributed computing experience
• Research experience in computer science

Benefits

• Global remote work with Bay Area in-person collaboration options
• Annual travel stipend (Adaption Passport) to explore new countries
• Weekly meal allowance for groceries or takeout
• Comprehensive medical benefits
• Generous paid time off
