## About the role

We want researchers with great intuition in machine learning and solid fundamentals —irrespective of bio background. You'll drive original research on the architectures, training objectives, and scaling behind our models, owning an agenda from idea to result. We're a small, high-density team building frontier AI and the biological systems to validate it, and we index on research taste and output, not credentials. Push on generative models (diffusion, autoregressive), architectures, optimization, and scaling.

## What they're looking for

- You have a track record of original research (first-author work at NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AISTATS, JMLR, TMLR, other top conferences/journals, impactful open models, or comparable research output)
- Deep command of modern deep learning: generative models, architectures, optimization, and scaling
- You drive a research agenda independently, from idea to experiment to result
- High-agency, in person, and comfortable with the ambiguity of frontier research
