  • Debug GPU, memory, and distributed training bottlenecks
  • Collaborate with researchers to deploy models in live trading systems

What We’re Looking For:

  • Strong ML fundamentals (transformers, LLMs, attention, RLHF)
  • Deep GPU expertise (CUDA, Tensor Cores, warp-level ops)
  • Proficiency in Python & C++
  • Knowledge of deep-learning frameworks like PyTorch, JAX
  • GPU Libraries and tools – Triton, CUB, CuDNN, cuBLAS

Why Join:

Work with world-class researchers solving some of finance’s hardest problems with extensive room to push boundaries. Expect technical depth, real-world impact, and a culture that prizes curiosity, rigor, and speed.
