Experience with JAX/Pallas/TPUs
Experience in training large (Transformer) models on distributed systems
Experience in training/fine-tuning (multimodal) Large Language Models
Expertise in writing high performance CPU/GPU/TPU code
Track record of publications in deep learning or its applications at top-tier conferences
You May Be a Great Fit if:
Highly self-motivated and keen to have real-world impact
Detail-oriented, analytical, and creative problem solver
Meticulous in all aspects (code, data, modeling, ...)
Able to work effectively in a team-oriented, collaborative environment
