## About the role

The Speculative Decoding team at Together AI builds the draft models and algorithms that let large language models generate faster without changing their outputs. Our speculators run in production on frontier open models such as DeepSeek, Kimi and GLM. Our work sits at the intersection of model training, inference algorithms and serving systems, and we co-design all three to lower the cost and latency of generation. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- Currently pursuing a Master's or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Strong knowledge of Machine Learning and Deep Learning fundamentals
- Hands-on experience training or fine-tuning large models with distributed training frameworks (e.g., Megatron-LM, FSDP)
- Familiarity with modern model architectures, such as Mixture-of-Experts and hybrid attention
