About Sygaldry Sygaldry Technologies is building quantum-accelerated AI servers to exponentially speed up training and inference for AI. By integrating quantum and AI, we're accelerating the path to superintelligence, and engineering the conditions for it to scale efficiently and operate affordably. Sygaldry AI servers combine multiple qubit types within a single, fault-tolerant architecture to deliver the combination of cost, scale, and speed necessary for advanced AI applications. We pioneer new domains in physics, engineering, and AI, tackling the hardest challenges with a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture. We're looking for individuals ready to define the intersection of quantum and AI and drive its profound global impact. About the Role Generative AI is transforming what's computationally possible-but it's also exposing the limits of classical hardware. Diffusion models produce extraordinary results, yet their iterative sampling and high-dimensional score estimation create computational bottlenecks that scale poorly. We believe quantum computing offers a path through these bottlenecks. As an ML Research Scientist, you'll work at the frontier of generative modeling and quantum acceleration, developing the theoretical foundations and practical implementations that connect these fields. You'll identify where quantum approaches can provide genuine advantage in generative workflows-not incremental improvements, but structural speedups rooted in the mathematics of these models. What You'll Work On Generative Model Architecture & Efficiency Advance state-of-the-art diffusion and score-based generative models Analyze computational bottlenecks in sampling, denoising, and likelihood estimation Develop and benchmark novel solver methods for diffusion ODEs/SDEs Quantum-Classical Integration Identify mathematical structures in generative models amenable to quantum speedup Prototype hybrid workflows where quantum subroutines accelerate classical pipelines Rigorously benchmark theoretical versus practical advantage in realistic workloads Research to Production Translate research insights into scalable implementations Collaborate with quantum hardware teams to inform architecture requirements Build systems that make quantum-accelerated generation accessible to practitioners You May Be a Good Fit If You Have deep expertise in diffusion probabilistic models, score matching, or related generative methods Understand the mathematical foundations: SDEs, ODEs, Langevin dynamics, probability flow Are experienced with ML frameworks (PyTorch, JAX) and efficient inference implementation Question assumptions and validate with rigor, following interesting threads wherever they lead Communicate complex ideas clearly across research communities Are excited to work on problems no one has solved before Strong Candidates May Have Published research on diffusion models, score-based generation, or neural ODE/SDE methods Experience optimizing sampling efficiency (DDIM, DPM-Solver, consistency models, etc.) Familiarity with numerical methods for differential equations Understanding of quantum algorithms and computational complexity Background in high-dimensional probability or stochastic processes Why This Matters Your work accelerates the path to quantum superintelligence. Each quantum component integrated, each AI model enhanced, each instruction set optimized brings us closer to a future where intelligence and quantum mechanics are inextricably intertwined. We're not building incremental improvements - we're creating exponential transformations that will make AI more affordable, sustainable, personalized, and fundamentally more capable. How We're Different We're building the infrastructure for quantum superintelligence and pioneering new domains at the intersection of physics, engineering, and AI. At Sygaldry, curiosity and intellectual courage drive our work. We approach ambitious challenges with a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture and know that kind people build the strongest teams. We prioritize mission over ego and collaborate openly with a strong sense of shared purpose. We dream big, yet we execute with a love of detail. We're looking for scientists, engineers, and operators to forge new paths with us at the intersection of quantum and AI. Culture & Benefits Visa Sponsorship - We know what it takes to make top talent thrive here. We're open to supporting visas whenever possible. Compensation - We value your contribution and invest in your future with a competitive salary and meaningful equity. Benefits - Your well-being matters.

Granica is an AI research and infrastructure company building reliable and steerable representations for enterprise structured data. The rarest thing in enterprise AI is durable access plus trust. Crunch is how we earn it: a policy-driven physical health layer that keeps large tabular data estates efficient and reliable, safely and reversibly. On top of that foundation, we're building structured intelligence using Large Tabular Models: systems that learn cross-column and relational structure to deliver trustworthy answers and automation with provenance and governance built in. The Mission AI today is limited not only by model design but by the inefficiency of the data that feeds it. At scale, each redundant byte, each poorly organized dataset, and each inefficient data path slows progress and compounds into enormous cost, latency, and energy waste. Granica's mission is to remove that inefficiency. We combine new research in information theory, probabilistic modeling, and distributed systems to design self-optimizing data infrastructure: systems that continuously improve how information is represented and used by AI. Granica's Research group led by Prof. Andrea Montanari (Stanford), bridging advances in information theory and learning efficiency with large-scale distributed systems. Together, we share a conviction that the next leap in AI will come from breakthroughs in efficient systems, not just larger models. Granica is pioneering a new class of structured AI models: foundational models built to learn and reason from the world's relational, tabular, and structured data. While others focus on unstructured text or media, we are exploring the next frontier: systems that understand and reason over the information that runs the global economy. What You'll Build and Research Invent and prototype algorithms that define the foundations of structured AI, advancing representation learning and efficient information modeling for enterprise and tabular data at petabyte scale. Develop adaptive learners that fuse statistical learning theory with large-scale systems optimization, contributing to a new generation of foundational models for structured information. Design architectures that integrate symbolic, relational, and neural components, enabling AI systems to reason directly over structured enterprise data. Build cost models and optimization frameworks that make structured learning efficient, both computationally and economically. Collaborate closely with the Granica Research group led by Prof. Andrea Montanari (Stanford) and with systems engineers to transform theoretical ideas into production-grade systems used across live enterprise workloads. Iterate fast: prototype new model architectures, evaluate on live datasets, and publish results that advance both theory and practice. Contribute to the global research community shaping the future of structured AI and efficient learning. What You'll Bring Ph #J-18808-Ljbffr
