Research Engineer

Moondream AI develops vision models designed to be both accurate and fast for real-time video applications. The Research Engineer will combine research and engineering by designing model architectures, training models, optimizing performance with custom kernels, and analyzing failures to guide experiments and decisions.

Responsibilities:

• You've trained models from scratch and have opinions about why your architecture choices worked (or didn't)
• You can read a paper at breakfast and have a working implementation by dinner
• You reach for CUDA or Triton when PyTorch is leaving performance on the table, and it doesn't feel like a big deal
• You'd rather ship a model that thousands of developers deploy than publish a paper that dozens of researchers cite
• You have good taste about what experiments to run next, not just the ability to run them
