Modelling Resident

About Us

• Most AI is frozen in place - it doesn’t adapt to the world. We think that’s backwards. Our mandate is to build efficient intelligence that evolves in real-time. We bring together exceptional people with the drive and creativity to push the boundaries of continual adaptation. We’re looking for builders and creative thinkers ready to shape the next era of intelligence.
• Our team is small, talent-dense, and moving quickly, with a culture rooted in accountability, initiative and shared success. We look for people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world. We operate with low egos, high velocity, and extreme ownership to build technology that expands access and benefits the many, not the few.

How We Work

Impact Over Activity

We are building a generational company. We value people who execute on ideas rather than comment from the sidelines. We believe our competitive edge lies in caring about excellence across the entire lifecycle - from research to product. No task is beneath anyone: no one is too senior to test the build, clean the data, or unblock a teammate.

Vulnerable, Low-Ego Collaboration

We believe exceptional work comes from people who challenge, support and push one another to think bigger. Rapid iteration requires stepping into discomfort. We encourage bold, half-baked, and unorthodox ideas. When we disagree, we share feedback directly, never through side channels.

Celebrate Decisively

Extraordinary effort should be deeply memorable. We celebrate milestones generously and publicly - via spot bonuses, team dinners, spontaneous gifts, and company-wide recognition - to fuel each other for the next sprint.

The Role

• Our vision is AI systems that are flexible, adaptable, and accessible to everyone. We believe efficiency is what makes this possible. It’s how we expand access and ensure innovation benefits the many, not the few.
• A modelling residency puts you in the center of a frontier lab. You'll be embedded in real work: placed on key production and research projects and mentored directly by our modelling team. We're building our frontier innovation around efficiency, gradient-free exploration, real-time learning, and interface design. By the end of this 8-month residency, our hope is that you leave with a track record you're proud to put on your resume and experiences that meaningfully upskill you.

What You'll Do

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

We believe the ultimate signal of value is real-world impact. The smartest algorithm is one capable of interacting with the world — that's why product signal matters so much to how we work.

Skills You'll Bring

• We look beyond traditional markers of experience. What matters most to us is what you’ve built and the impact you’ve had. We value demonstrable output, curiosity and alignment with our core values:
• 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.
• We value impact over credentials. Above all, we're looking for great teammates who make work feel lighter and aren't afraid to go out on a limb with bold ideas. You don't need to check every box - but you do need to be adaptable.

What We Offer

Innovative culture

You’ll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Growth paths

A dynamic environment with opportunities to take on new challenges, expand your responsibilities, and make an impact beyond your immediate role.

Adaption Passport

An annual travel allowance to explore somewhere new, experience different cultures and keep expanding your horizons. It can be used to travel to any country you haven’t previously been to.

Lunch on Us

A weekly allowance for takeout or grocery delivery, wherever you are in the world. Whether it's stocking your fridge or having dinner delivered, it’s one less thing to think about.

Comprehensive Benefits

High-quality medical coverage and benefits designed to support your health and well-being.

Team offsites and visits to SF HQ

We're a global team, but believe there's real value in spending time together in person. We regularly bring teammates together at our SF HQ and for team offsites in locations around the world, including London, Mexico City, and New York.
