About the role

We are seeking Research Engineers to join our growing AI research team. You will work on building and scaling state-of-the-art large language models that power Metamorphic’s next generation of foundation models. This is a high-impact, technically deep role working at the frontier of ML research and engineering. In this role you will interact with many parts of the research and engineering stack, from model architecture and pretraining to evaluation, tooling, and infrastructure.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field or equivalent experience
  • Strong software engineering skills with a proven track record of building complex systems
  • Deep understanding of large language models and/or multimodal models: pretraining, fine-tuning, RLHF/alignment, post-training, and evaluation
  • Proficiency in Python and modern deep learning frameworks (PyTorch preferred)
  • Experience training and scaling foundation models, particularly in the context of language modeling
  • Experience designing and managing large-scale data annotation or data processing pipelines
More about this role

Metamorphic is developing new approaches to intelligence by combining machine learning with large-scale experimental neuroscience, informed by the principles that make the brain efficient, flexible, and robust. We are building foundation models trained on rich, continuous neural data — a high-resolution model of the brain at a scale never before possible.

Our founding team spans machine learning, neuroscience, and neurotechnology, with prior work including the MICrONS project , Neuropixels , and the Enigma project , as well as foundational scientific contributions in learning, neural computation, and generative modeling. Our work sits at the frontier of AI research, and we believe the highest-impact discoveries will come from researchers and engineers working as a single, tightly collaborative team.

The name Metamorphic reflects our belief that the next advances in intelligence will come from a change in form, beyond scale — from artificial to natural intelligence.
