Company

hirify.global builds an AI-driven simulation software stack for engineering and manufacturing across advanced industries.

What you will do

• Collaborate with research scientists, simulation engineers, customers, and partners to deliver AI models for real-world physics and engineering problems.
• Design and build physical foundation models, scaling model training efficiently on multi-GPU cloud compute.
• Turn research prototypes into robust, optimized implementations by challenging architecture decisions that hurt scalability.
• Select the best libraries, frameworks, and tools to enable successful model development and deployment.
• Own research work-streams at different levels depending on seniority.
• Translate research outputs into reusable libraries, tooling, and products, bridging data science and software engineering.

Requirements

• Strong interest in developing machine learning solutions, especially deep learning and/or probabilistic methods, plus supporting science/engineering software.
• Ability to work autonomously and scope effectively to deliver projects across multiple engineering domains.
• Strong problem-solving skills to analyze issues, identify causes, and recommend solutions quickly.
• Experience with scientific computing and/or high-performance computing (CPU/GPU clusters) and/or parallelized/distributed training for large/foundation models.
• Experience scaling and optimizing ML models and training/serving foundation models at scale (federated learning is a bonus).
• MSc or PhD in a relevant field (computer science, machine learning, applied statistics, mathematics, physics, engineering, or software engineering) or a closely related discipline.
