Modelling Resident

8-month modelling residency embedded in production and research projects, focusing on adaptive algorithms, real-time learning, model efficiency, and cross-stack optimization. Requires Python, deep learning frameworks, and ML optimization experience.

About the job

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: Focus on real-world impact through product signal and interaction with the world.

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 — ability to collaborate in a remote environment and openness to feedback.
  • Care about technical excellence and last mile impact; value impact more than effort, and own outcomes end to end.
