About the role
- Build the foundational technology powering Adaptive, with a focus on high-performance software engineering and large-scale RL research;
- Contribute to our product roadmap, by identifying promising trends and high-impact findings;
- Report clearly on your work to a distributed collaborative team, with a bias for asynchronous written communication;
- Write high-quality software in Rust, with a focus on performance and robustness;
- Profile dedicated GPU kernels in CUDA or Triton, optimizing across latency/compute-bound regimes for complex workloads;
- Identify and resolve bugs in large distributed systems, at the intersection of software and hardware correctness;
- Conduct research on large language models or diffusion models, systematically exploring how reinforcement learning can be used to personalize models;
- Own a research agenda, with a bias for at-scale, systematic empirical research.
Requirements
- A M.Sc./Ph.D. in computer science, or demonstrated experience in software engineering, preferably with a focus on machine learning;
- Strong programming skills, especially regarding distributed problems where performance is key;
- Contributions to relevant open-source projects, such as efficient implementations of models and RL;
- A track record of publications at top-tier machine learning venues (e.g., NeurIPS, JMLR);
- Passionate about the future of generative AI, and eager to build foundational technology to help machines deliver more singular experiences.
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical (health, dental, and vision) insurance;
- 401(k) plan with 4% matching (or equivalent);
- Unlimited PTO — we strongly encourage at least 5 weeks each year;
- Mental health, wellness, and personal development stipends;
- Visa sponsorship if you wish to relocate to New York or Paris.
