About Native
Native is a VC backed AI startup in stealth, building the most accurate AI over highly complex data. This is
hard
. This is an unsolved problem with the potential to change how every large enterprise operates.
Our HQ is in London and we operate with a Silicon Valley mindset. Everyone has high agency, obsessed with the problem we are solving, embraces the intensity of a 6 day week and has the ambition to build something world-changing.
We are hiring exceptional research engineers and scientists to develop a new class of foundation model at the frontier of graph representation learning and transformers.
About The Role
This is a founding role, with opportunity to set the research agenda and shape the architecture from day one.
- Drive foundational research for reasoning over complex data.
- Develop and implement new encoders (including graph transformers) for complex heterogeneous data.
- Design creative and impactful self-supervised learning objectives.
- Scale novel foundation models across huge datasets.
- Build scalable training and evaluation pipelines.
- Fine-tune foundation model embeddings into high-value downstream tasks.
- Guide an exceptional team of research engineers.
Required Experience
- Proven ability to lead research teams tackling hard problems.
- PhD/MSc in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science or a related field.
- Hands-on experience building and training foundation models with modern ML tools (PyTorch, Ray, JAX).
- Strong background in graph neural nets and transformer architectures.
- Track record of publications at top conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL etc...).
- Able to take ownership of whatever needs doing.
- Experience optimising training runs on GPU clusters.
- Nice to have: Experience with reinforcement learning and large language models.
Why join us
This is a rare chance to join a founding team operating at the frontier of AI, with the resources to win.
- Impact: You will push the frontier of foundation models for an under-explored, massively valuable domain.
- Team: We are a small, collaborative, world-class research team based in central London. We've already achieved rank #1 on leading public benchmarks, and we're just getting started.
- Founding level equity + competitive salary: We want you to share in the upside of what we are building. As part of the founding team you will receive meaningful ownership alongside a salary that allows you to focus on building something great.
- Direction: Chance to shape the direction of a new class of foundation model from day one.
Culture
"It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do"
At Native, we look for people with exceptional research and engineering ability, who want to win.
Everyone loves building, and is ambitious enough to want to change how the world operates for the better.
We run towards hard problems.
We are creative problem solvers, who keep going until we find the underlying principle of the problem, and build to solve that.
If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, are intrinsically motivated and want to have a huge impact, we are a great fit.
Interview Process
- Introduction call (remote)
- Take home technical challenge and discussion call (remote)
