Job Level

Senior

About the role

  • Train and evaluate multimodal SoTA models along axis that are important to our vision for future devices.
  • Develop novel architectures that improve model performance when scaling the models themselves is not an option.
  • Run through the necessary walls to take nascent research capabilities and turn them into capabilities we can build on top of.

Requirements

  • Have a research background in adapting transformers to run in environments with significantly less compute than traditional GPUs and datacenter accelerators.
  • Love performance optimization and working with GPU kernel engineers (but you do not need CUDA experience yourself).
  • Do rigorous science (rather than vibes based). We need confidence in the experiments we run to move quickly.
  • Have already spent time in the weeds teaching models to speak and perceive.
Benefits
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family, with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts
  • Pre-tax accounts for Health FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and commuter expenses (parking and transit)
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer match
  • Paid parental leave (up to 24 weeks for birth parents and 20 weeks for non-birthing parents), plus paid medical and caregiver leave (up to 8 weeks)
  • Paid time off: flexible PTO for exempt employees and up to 15 days annually for non-exempt employees
  • 13+ paid company holidays, and multiple paid coordinated company office closures throughout the year for focus and recharge, plus paid sick or safe time (1 hour per 30 hours worked, or more, as required by applicable state or local law)
  • Mental health and wellness support
  • Employer-paid basic life and disability coverage
  • Annual learning and development stipend to fuel your professional growth
  • Daily meals in our offices, and meal delivery credits as eligible
  • Relocation support for eligible employees
  • Additional taxable fringe benefits, such as charitable donation matching and wellness stipends, may also be provided.
