The position emphasizes scientific rigor, reproducibility, and open‑source contribution, giving you a platform to publish at top conferences and influence the broader AI community.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct original research in deep learning, reinforcement learning, or generative models.
• Develop prototypes and benchmark models on large‑scale datasets.
• Publish findings in peer‑reviewed venues (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, ACL, etc.).
• Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate research into scalable services.
• Mentor junior researchers and contribute to internal knowledge‑sharing sessions.

Requirements

Education & Experience

• Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related field (or equivalent research experience).
• 3+ years of post‑doctoral or industry research experience with a strong publication record.

Technical Skills

• Expertise in Python, PyTorch or TensorFlow, and modern GPU/TPU workflows.
• Deep understanding of optimization, probabilistic modeling, and representation learning.
• Experience with distributed training frameworks (e.g., Horovod, DeepSpeed, Ray).
• Familiarity with MLOps tools for experiment tracking, model versioning, and deployment.

Soft Skills

• Exceptional written and verbal communication for cross‑functional collaboration.
• Self‑directed, proactive problem‑solver comfortable with asynchronous workflows.
• Commitment to ethical AI practices and responsible research.

Preferred Qualifications

• Contributions to open‑source ML libraries or community benchmarks.
• Experience with large language models, diffusion models, or multimodal architectures.
• Prior remote‑first team experience across multiple time zones.

Salary Range

$150,000 – $210,000 USD per year, commensurate with experience, publications, and geographic cost‑of‑living adjustments.

Benefits

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage for you and dependents.
• Generous 401(k) matching and equity grant program.
• Annual learning stipend ($5,000) for conferences, courses, and certifications.
• Flexible work hours with core collaboration windows (10 am–2 pm ET).
• Home office setup allowance ($3,000) and monthly internet reimbursement.
• Unlimited paid time off plus company‑wide mental‑health days.

Company Culture

Our organization thrives on curiosity, transparency, and inclusivity. We operate as a distributed team spanning North America, Europe, and Asia, leveraging asynchronous communication tools (Slack, Notion, GitHub) and weekly virtual research seminars. Diversity of thought is celebrated, and every researcher has a voice in shaping project direction.

How to Apply

Please submit your CV, a concise research statement (max 500 words), and links to three representative publications or code repositories. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis; selected candidates will be invited to a technical screen followed by a virtual research presentation.
