IBM Research | Boston, MA, USA (hybrid - 3 days in office; location flexibility - Boston preferred but NYC/SF possible) | Research Scientists and Research Engineers

Our team thinks there's a lot of value in co-design of software harnesses and LLMs, particularly for small/medium models, particularly in the open model space.

Our colleagues across the isle do an awesome job at training the Granite model series, so we (physically and organizationally) sit in a uniquely good place to do impactful work in this space.

I am currently looking for early career scientists and engineers who are interested in LLMs and also one of {programming languages, formal methods, compilers}. Experience with Rust is a plus. Cool systems-y projects with formalizations on paper or in rocq/lean/etc also a plus. Neither is necessary, per se.
