About the role
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
