ML Research Scientist - Quantum Acceleration (Remote)

About the Role

We're hiring an ML Research Scientist - Quantum Acceleration to join our innovative team at Sygaldry Technologies. In this remote role, you will work at the intersection of quantum computing and generative AI, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in machine learning. As an ML Research Scientist, you'll contribute to groundbreaking research that aims to revolutionize the efficiency of generative models through quantum acceleration.

What You'll Work On

• 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.
• Identify mathematical structures in generative models amenable to quantum speedup.
• Prototype hybrid workflows where quantum subroutines accelerate classical pipelines.
• 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.

Requirements

• Deep expertise in diffusion probabilistic models, score matching, or related generative methods.
• Understanding of the mathematical foundations: SDEs, ODEs, Langevin dynamics, probability flow.
• Experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, JAX) and efficient inference implementation.
• Ability to communicate complex ideas clearly across research communities.
• Excitement to work on problems no one has solved before.

Nice to 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.

What We Offer

• Visa sponsorship for international candidates.
• Competitive salary and meaningful equity.
• Company-sponsored health coverage for you and your family.
• Unlimited PTO to ensure you can recharge and come back ready to make an impact.
• Opportunities to connect with your team through casual socials and company offsites.
