Member of Technical Staff — Inference-Multimodal & Diffusion

About the Role

RadixArk is seeking a Member of Technical Staff — Inference-Multimodal & Diffusion to advance the frontier of generative modeling.

You will work on cutting-edge diffusion and flow-based models for image, video, and multimodal generation, pushing model quality, efficiency, and scalability. This role combines deep research thinking with strong engineering execution — from designing novel algorithms to training and deploying models at scale.

Your work will directly shape next-generation generative AI systems used by researchers, developers, and real-world applications.

This is a high-impact role for engineers and researchers who want to push the limits of generative models in both theory and practice.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in ML research or applied ML engineering

Strong expertise in diffusion models or generative models (DDPM, DDIM, latent diffusion, flow matching, etc.)

Deep understanding of deep learning fundamentals and optimization

Proven experience training large-scale models on GPUs/TPUs

Strong proficiency in PyTorch or JAX

Experience implementing research ideas into working systems

Strong mathematical foundation in probability, statistics, and optimization

Ability to move from research prototypes to production-quality models

Strong Plus

Publications in top-tier conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, etc.)

Experience with large-scale distributed training

Experience in multimodal generation (text-to-image, video, audio)

Familiarity with transformer architectures and hybrid models

Experience improving sampling speed and generation efficiency

Contributions to open-source generative model projects

Experience scaling models to billions of parameters

Responsibilities

Design and develop next-generation diffusion and generative models

Improve model quality, controllability, and sample efficiency

Research and implement novel training and sampling methods

Optimize models for large-scale distributed training

Collaborate with systems teams to scale training and inference

Translate research ideas into practical production systems

Evaluate models using rigorous metrics and benchmarks

Contribute to long-term research and product direction in generative AI
