Seeking top-tier PhDs (Bay Area preferred) with ICML/ICLR publications in LLM training and inference optimization—no vision/audio, just pure language; diffusion model experience a plus.
Client Opportunity | Through Phizenix (WBENC & Minority-Certified Recruiting Partner)
Join a trailblazing AI startup that's reinventing how large language models are built—with
diffusion-powered LLMs
that generate faster, adapt smarter, and handle multimodal data like no other.
We’re looking for a
Research Scientist / Engineer
who’s ready to move beyond traditional autoregressive methods and help shape the
next wave of generative AI . You'll collaborate with pioneers in AI research, design novel model architectures, and scale your ideas from paper to production.
What You'll Be Doing
Design and refine LLM architectures built on a diffusion-first paradigm Develop cutting-edge training strategies and custom loss functions Translate research into real-world systems for enterprise-scale deployments Explore constraint-aware generation and controlled outputs Push the limits of model efficiency, scalability, and multi-modal capabilities
Must-Haves
Must have a PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field Hands-on experience with PyTorch and LLM fundamentals (transformers, KV caching, etc.) Should have recent/or any ICLR/ICML publications in LLM inference optimization would be ideal. Familiarity with diffusion models and distributed model training Solid research-to-production mindset with 2+ years in an ML/AI role
Bonus Points For
Training LLMs from scratch and optimizing large-scale runs Advanced training tactics (e.g., mixed precision, gradient accumulation) Experience with cross-modal modeling and inference frameworks like vLLM, TensorRT A background in model efficiency, optimization theory, or infrastructure-aware research
At
Phizenix , we’re proud to partner with diverse and inclusive teams building AI that matters. If you're ready to build, innovate, and publish with one of the boldest teams in AI— this is your moment .
