We are looking for a leader with the following background:

Must have

• Background in ML foundations (i.e. PhD in CS theory, statistics, econometrics, operations research / systems engineering, math, or theoretical physics)

• Hands on experience training and deploying production ML models

• First-line or second line management experience minimum (remit is to scale a team from 5-20 researchers)

Nice to have

• Experience with LLM infrastructure - inference, fine-tuning, RL etc.

• Success in environments with quantitive models (quant research fund, ranking, ads)

• Startup experience
