Responsibilities

  • Large‑Scale Pre‑Training: Conduct foundational pre‑training for LLMs and Multi‑Modal models (integrating text, vision, audio, or other modalities) on large, distributed servers equipped with multi‑nodes and thousands of NVIDIA GPUs.
  • Architecture & Alignment Innovation: Design, prototype, and scale innovative architectures, tokenizers, and cross‑modal alignment layers to enhance model intelligence and multi‑modal understanding.
  • Data Strategy: Source, filter, and curate massive‑scale textual and multi‑modal datasets, establishing robust data pipelines for efficient pre‑training.
  • Experimental Research: Independently and collaboratively execute experiments, analyze results, and refine training methodologies for optimal performance and token efficiency.
  • Optimization & Debugging: Investigate, debug, and eliminate bottlenecks in model efficiency, computational performance, and multi‑modal alignment stability during long training runs.
  • System Scalability: Contribute to the advancement of distributed training systems to ensure seamless scalability and hardware efficiency on target platforms.

Qualifications

  • A degree in Computer Science or related field. Ideally a PhD in NLP, Machine Learning, or a related field, with a solid track record in AI R&D and publications in A* conferences.
  • Hands‑on experience contributing to large‑scale LLM or Multi‑Modal pre‑training runs on large, distributed servers equipped with thousands of NVIDIA GPUs, ensuring scalability and impactful advancements in model performance.
  • Familiarity and practical experience with large‑scale, distributed training frameworks, libraries, and tools.
  • Deep knowledge of state‑of‑the‑art transformer and non‑transformer modifications aimed at enhancing intelligence, efficiency, and scalability.
  • Strong expertise in PyTorch and Hugging Face libraries with practical experience in model development, continual pre‑training, and deployment.
