  • Curiosity, interest, and joy in understanding intelligence.

Qualifications:

  • Experience with language model supervised finetuning and preference learning methods such as DPO, simPO, etc.
  • Experience with context-length extension methods
  • A good intuitive ability to understand model behaviors and correct them through iterative fine-tuning
  • Interest in grappling in detail with data and spending significant time involved in data engineering and synthetic data generation
  • Postgraduate degree in a scientific subject (Computer Science, EE/EECS, Mathematics, Physics)
  • Previously published machine learning research in well-respected venues
  • Highly proficient with PyTorch and Python
  • We are excited and able to rapidly learn new fields and implement new ideas
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, and can work effectively on both research and engineering implementation at scale

Why Work at Zyphra:

  • We strongly value new and crazy ideas and are very willing to bet big on new ideas
  • We move as quickly as we can; we aim to minimize the bar to impact as low as possible
  • We all enjoy what we do and love discussing AI

Benefits and Perks:

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and FSA plans
  • Competitive compensation and 401(k)
  • Relocation and immigration support on a case-by-case basis
