About the role

AI researcher focused on on-device, consumer-scale AI agents. Leads end-to-end model capabilities for on-device runtimes, with emphasis on training methods (pretraining, SFT, RLHF, DPO, GRPO), distillation, quantization, and related techniques to run models directly on devices.

Responsibilities

  • One or more model capabilities end-to-end — from data mixture and training objective through eval and shipping into a production on-device runtime
  • The experiment design and writeups that compound across the team — kill what doesn't move the metric, double down on what does
  • A training workstream with a clear success metric and a checkpoint that ships
  • Infra and product engineers, by turning research wins into shipped capabilities
  • Partnerships, by telling them honestly what's possible at the next device refresh and what's not
  • Other researchers, by reading their code and making theirs easier to read

Qualifications

  • Experience with training techniques such as distillation, MoE at small scale, speculative decoding, KV cache compression
  • Ability to design experiments that move meaningful metrics
  • On-device deployment understanding and hardware-aware modeling (production model deployment under hardware deadlines)

Skills

Required:Training techniques (distillation from frontier teachers)Experiment design

Benefits

  • Competitive cash and meaningful equity
  • Top-tier relocation and immigration support
  • Permission to publish what's safe to publish
