ML Engineer (ONSITE IN SF)

PulseRise Technologies is a seed-stage research-driven ML company focused on mechanistic understanding of model architectures and optimizers. They are hiring ML Engineers to implement research ideas reliably and operate full training pipelines end-to-end, blending academic rigor with industrial compute and speed.

Responsibilities:

• Translate research papers into working PyTorch/JAX implementations
• Run distributed transformer training
• Debug divergence and instability
• Optimize throughput
• Build full pipelines (data → training → evaluation)
• Reason about learning dynamics and architecture tradeoffs
• The bar is slope and research intuition, not years
• Reliable implementation of novel architectures
• Distributed transformer training at scale
• Training stability and performance debugging
• Evaluation frameworks
• Optimization reasoning alongside researchers
