About the role
You'll be among the first scientists collaborating on an entirely new class of AI models. As a research scientist intern at an early-stage startup working on foundation models for tabular data, you'll explore countless exciting research ideas and problems across scaling, multimodal learning, specialized architectures, and production deployment.
What you'll do
- Work on scaling transformer architectures from 10K to 1M+ samples while maintaining performance
- Build multimodal models that combine text and tabular understanding on proprietary data
- Develop specialized architectures for time series, forecasting, and anomaly detection
- Create efficient inference methods for production deployment
- Research causal understanding in foundation models
- Design novel approaches for handling multiple related tables
What you'll need
- Currently pursuing or holding a PhD in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (we will also consider exceptional Master's students)
- Deep experience with ML frameworks, especially PyTorch and scikit-learn
- Strong engineering fundamentals with excellent Python expertise
- Experience in data-science and working with tabular data or time series
- Publications at top-tier venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR) or significant open-source contributions
What they offer
- Strong mentorship and professional development opportunities
- Work with state-of-the-art ML architecture, substantial compute resources, and a world-class team
- Comprehensive benefits including healthcare, transportation, and fitness
