  • Contribute to cutting-edge work influencing real-world AI systems

What we are looking for:

  • 2–4 years’ experience in machine learning, AI, or related fields
  • Strong Python and PyTorch capability
  • Exposure to LLMs, generative AI, or agent-based systems
  • Strong academic or research grounding (Maths, Physics, ML)
  • High-output mindset with the ability to execute quickly
  • High-performance, research-led team
  • Direct exposure to world-class AI work
