Liquid AI builds efficient Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs) for on-device, edge, and cloud AI with low latency, privacy, and hardware-aware deployment.
About the role
The VLM team builds vision-language models that run on-device, under tight latency and memory constraints, without sacrificing quality. We have released four best-in-class models and we're just getting started.
What they're looking for
- Hands-on experience in training or evaluating VLMs with demonstrated experimental rigor
- Ability to turn research ideas into scalable implementations, refine and iterate through hypotheses
- Proficiency in Python and at least one deep learning framework
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience
- Building or optimizing multimodal training or data pipelines
- Experience with distributed training (DeepSpeed, FSDP, Megatron-LM, etc.)
More about this role
Spun out of MIT CSAIL, we build general-purpose AI systems that run efficiently across deployment targets, from data center accelerators to on-device hardware, ensuring low latency, minimal memory usage, privacy, and reliability. We partner with enterprises across consumer electronics, automotive, life sciences, and financial services. We are scaling rapidly and need exceptional people to help us get there.

This team owns the full VLM pipeline end-to-end: from researching new architectures and training algorithms through data curation, evaluation, and deployment. You'll join a focused, hands-on group that works directly on models and collaborates closely with our pretraining, post-training, and infrastructure teams. Success here is measured by the capability of the models we ship.
