Machine Learning Researcher - Springtail

The role

The Machine Learning Researcher will develop new architectures for data-efficient and general model induction. This includes bootstrapped program synthesis and components for a system that synthesizes its own learning algorithms.

What you will do

• Hypothesize, test, and refine means of improving generalization performance of common architectural elements.
• Devise controlled datasets to elucidate learning order and learned representations.
• Think mathematically and empirically about problems of runtime inference in gradient-trained networks.
• Contribute to a well-documented and well-instrumented code base.

Required qualifications

• Masters or equivalent in machine learning, mathematics, or equivalent fields
• Fluency with Pytorch
• Familiarity with JAX, CUDA, and/or Triton + their open-source ecosystems
• Demonstrated ability do fundamental research
• Demonstrated ability to work in teams

Nice to have

• strong candidates from neuroscience are encouraged to apply
