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
