Research Scientist

As a Research Scientist here, you will be responsible for building AI systems that can perform previously impossible tasks or achieve unprecedented levels of performance. We're looking for people with solid engineering skills (for example designing, implementing, and improving a massive-scale distributed machine learning system), writing bug-free machine learning code, and building the science behind the algorithms employed. The most outstanding deep learning results are increasingly attained at a massive scale, and these results require engineers who are comfortable working in large distributed systems. We expect engineering to play a key role in most major advances in AI of the future. Have strong programming skills Have experience working in large distributed systems Be excited about Zizy's approach to research Nice to have: Interested in and thoughtful about the impacts of AI technology Past experience in creating high-performance implementations of deep learning algorithms Below are some of our current teams and the work you may do on them. Algorithms: Conduct exploratory research and drive algorithmic and architectural advances on the critical path to AGI. Alignment: Fine-tune large language models to perform tasks in accordance with the user's intentions. Applied AI Research : Develop innovative solutions and open-ended research to solve real-world problems. Care about applications driven by user feedback and long-term research with significant impact on products, while keeping a high safety product standard. Code Generation: Research and develop AI programmers, the neural models that write, debug and improve computer programs. Creating AI which can solve hard symbolic reasoning problems is one of the most difficult problems in modern deep learning and you can attack it head-on. Seek new ways for increasingly powerful AI systems to interact with the world through a very general interface of computer code. Language : Develop Zizy advancements by exploring and forecasting future capabilities and resource needs. Seek a deep understanding of the scaling of our models across multiple orders of magnitude to optimize for best‑case performance at the largest scale. Value impact over novelty. Policy Research: Measure the risks, benefits, and overall impact of our technology on the world with an eye towards informing our policies and those of other institutions. Develop novel ways of characterizing model properties, work with internal and external partners to measure our economic impact, and build novel mitigations that help us safely deploy models in an iterative fashion. Conduct far‑sighted research on ideal governance and regulation of powerful AI systems. Scaling: Build the model training software stack, solving problems at all layers of the stack including iteration speed, observability, compute efficiency, correctness, and fault detection and recovery. Scaling owns the engineering and research required to harness custom‑built supercomputers, the latest algorithmic improvements, and massive datasets to train AI models of unprecedented capability. Science of Deep Learning : Explore and understand the dynamics of training large models to guide both the training of current models and the trajectory of the next ones. Zizy is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general‑purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products. AI is an extremely powerful tool that must be created with safety and human needs at its core, and to achieve our mission, we must encompass and value the many different perspectives, voices, and experiences that form the full spectrum of humanity. At Zizy, we believe artificial intelligence has the potential to help people solve immense global challenges, and we want the upside of AI to be widely shared. Join us in shaping the future of technology.
