Modelling Resident
RemoteContractPosted 4mo ago
About the role
A modelling residency embedded in production and research projects, mentored by the modelling team. An 8-month remote contract position focused on frontier innovation in efficiency, gradient-free exploration, real-time learning, and interface design.
Responsibilities
- Innovation: Build the future of adaptive algorithms that continuously learn. Co-design algorithms that react in real-time to product signal and feedback, and explore new ways of capturing feedback that make those algorithms better
- Cross-Stack Optimization: Collaborate across software, hardware, and algorithmic domains to drive system-wide efficiency gains
- Measure What Matters: Real-world impact and product signal as the measure of value; ensure algorithms can interact with the world and leverage real-world feedback
Qualifications
- A degree or equivalent research/engineering experience in a computer science field.
- Genuine interest in, and at least one project touching: model efficiency, synthetic data, interfaces, real-time alignment, or algorithmic optimization
- Systems thinking — the ability to understand and optimize across the full ML stack
- Strong Python skills and experience with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow)
- Familiarity with model optimization techniques such as RLHF and fine-tuning
- Strong communication and self-awareness — you know how to collaborate in a remote environment and you're open to feedback
- You care about technical excellence and last mile impact. We value impact more than effort, and about owning outcomes end to end.
Skills
Required:PythonDeep learning frameworks
Nice to have:Model optimization techniques
