ML Researcher (Internship and Full-time)

About the role

Tilde Research is a moonshot AI lab advancing mechanistic interpretability, new architectures, and pretraining science. We build foundational understanding of models to advance the frontier of intelligence.

Responsibilities

• Designing, prototyping, and optimizing novel model architectures
• Investigating why models or specific components behave the way they do—and how to improve them
• Curating targeted datasets to elicit and instill specific behaviors or capabilities in models
• Collaborating on papers, blog posts, and open-source tools to share insights with the broader community

Requirements

• Experience in deep learning or related research areas
• Deep technical expertise in some subfield(s) of modern ML, such as architecture, optimizers, reinforcement learning, learning dynamics, etc.
• Strong publication record
• Thoughtful technical blog posts
• Experience working with large-scale pre/post-training infrastructure for experimentation
• Communicate clearly and effectively, both verbally and in writing
• Ability to come up with and evaluate research ideas
• Ability to learn quickly
