Job Summary
Multiverse Computing
Multiverse is a well-funded fast-growing deep-tech company founded in 2019. We are the largest quantum software company in the EU and have been recognized by CB Insights (2023 and 2025) as one of the 100 most promising AI companies in the world.
With 180 employees and growing our team is fully multicultural and international. We deliver hyper-efficient software for companies seeking a competitive edge through quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
Our flagship products CompactifAI and Singularity address critical needs across various industries:
CompactifAI is a groundbreaking compression tool for foundational AI models based on Tensor Networks. It enables the compression of large AI systems--such as language models--to make them significantly more efficient and portable.
Singularity is a quantum- and quantum-inspired optimization platform used by blue-chip companies to solve complex problems in finance energy manufacturing and beyond. It integrates seamlessly with existing systems and delivers immediate performance gains on classical and quantum hardware.
Job Overview
We are looking for a Senior LLM Engineer to join our Research team. You will work across the full model lifecycle: data distributed training post-training compression evaluation and efficient inference. Our past work includes compressing and healing open-weight models post-training with SFT RL and distillation multimodal training knowledge editing and building our own family of models. Priorities change quickly in research so we value strong fundamentals over narrow specialisation. When it makes sense we publish papers and release models and code.
As an LLM Engineer you will
Train and post-train LLMs and multimodal models on multi-node GPU clusters using SFT preference optimisation RL (e.g. GRPO) and on-policy and offline distillation.
Design compression techniques (quantization pruning quantization-aware training quantum-inspired tensor-network methods) and healing recipes that recover the quality of compressed models.
Build RL environments reward functions and verifiers for reasoning coding and agentic tasks and extend RL methods to world models and Physical AI.
Research and prototype post-transformer and hybrid architectures (state-space models linear attention MoE) from small-scale ablations to scaling recipes.
Build data pipelines for curation filtering deduplication and large-scale synthetic data generation.
Design rigorous ablations and evaluations on current benchmark suites (reasoning coding long-context instruction following agentic) as well as internal evals.
Port and optimise models for inference on various accelerators and edge chips profiling latency memory and throughput.
Write up experiments and results as internal reports and where relevant papers and open-source releases.
Review code mentor teammates and follow and bring in the latest research.
Required Qualifications
Masters or PhD in Computer Science AI Mathematics Physics or a related field or equivalent industry experience.
Senior: 4 years of hands-on experience training or post-training transformer models.
Strong PyTorch. You are comfortable working below library level: model code custom losses parallelism configuration.
Experience with distributed training (FSDP DeepSpeed or Megatron-LM; data tensor pipeline and expert parallelism) on multi-node clusters with Slurm/K8s.
Hands-on post-training experience: SFT DPO and at least one RL method (PPO GRPO or similar).
Solid mathematical foundations in linear algebra optimisation and probability and an understanding of training dynamics.
Good understanding of GPU fundamentals: memory hierarchy mixed precision profiling throughput.
Rigorous experimental practice: ablation design reproducibility experiment tracking noise-aware evaluation.
Strong debugging and communication skills. Fluent English.
Preferred Qualifications
We dont expect anyone to have all of these. Our research covers many areas and nobody on the team is an expert in all of them. If you have deep experience in some and none in others we still want to hear from you.
Experience with the NVIDIA stack (Megatron-LM Megatron Bridge NeMo RL NeMo Gym NeMo Curator) or similar frameworks (verl TRL OpenRLHF).
RL infrastructure: rollout engines (vLLM SGLang) asynchronous RL reward model and verifier design agentic environments.
Model compression: post-training quantization and QAT (GPTQ AWQ FP8/FP4) pruning distillation low-rank or tensor-network methods.
Post-transformer architectures: SSMs/Mamba linear attention hybrid models diffusion LMs.
Physical AI: vision-language-action models world models (e.g. JEPA-style or video world models) robotics simulation.
Multimodal model training (vision-language audio).
Inference on alternative hardware: ExecuTorch ONNX Runtime OpenVINO vendor NPU SDKs custom kernels (Triton CUDA).
Large-scale data processing and synthetic data generation.
Evaluation tooling (lm-evaluation-harness lighteval NeMo Evaluator) and familiarity with Artificial Analysis.
Publications at top venues (NeurIPS ICML ICLR ACL etc.) notable open-source contributions or models released on Hugging Face.
Spanish.
