Integrate real-time text-to-speech with Sonic-3.6, Cartesia. Backed by General Catalyst, Index and Kleiner Perkins.
About the role
Conduct groundbreaking research in neural network architecture design to advance the state-of-the-art in alternative architectures (e.g., state space models, efficient transformers, hybrid architectures). Design novel architectures that improve model quality, inference efficiency, and adaptability across diverse deployment environments, from cloud to on-device.
What they're looking for
- Deep expertise in architecture design, with experience in researching or deploying advanced architectures (e.g., state space models, transformers, RNN variants, CNN variants)
- Strong understanding of how architectures interact with system constraints, including deployment in cloud environments or on-device
- Proficiency in designing architectures that balance quality, efficiency, and adaptability across different use cases and modalities (e.g., vision, audio, text)
- Familiarity with generative modeling paradigms like autoregressive and diffusion models, and designing capabilities such as statefulness and conditioning in deep learning models
- A proven research track record in top-tier ML/AI venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR) or demonstrable contributions to state-of-the-art architectures
- Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with a focus on experimentation and iterative refinement
More about this role
Our mission is to architect AI that learns from and interacts with the world like humans do.
We're pioneering the model architectures that will make this possible. Our founding team met as PhDs at the Stanford AI Lab, where we invented State Space Models or SSMs, a new primitive for training efficient, large-scale foundation models. Our team combines deep expertise in model innovation and systems engineering paired with a design-minded product engineering team to build and ship cutting edge models and experiences.
We're funded by leading investors at Index Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, along with Factory, Conviction, A Star, General Catalyst, SV Angel, Databricks and others. We're fortunate to have the support of many amazing advisors, and 90+ angels across many industries, including the world's foremost experts in AI.
