Your work will bridge cutting-edge quantization research, mathematical modeling, and hardware-aware algorithm design, ensuring that deep neural networks execute with maximal accuracy and throughput on our custom silicon."

      "name": "Why us?",
      "value": "We’re building at the intersection of math, hardware, and machine learning, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in compute. If you’ve implemented your own MVM kernels just to see what happens, trained quantized models for fun, or love thinking deeply about efficiency, sparsity, and how to make models run faster and better, you’ll feel right at home. As a small, technical team, early work defines the future of the stack, and we treat it that way. You'll own critical pieces of what we build, with equity to match. No hierarchy, no bureaucracy, just ideas, experiments, and real impact. You’ll grow as fast as you can grow."
