About the Role
RadixArk is seeking a Member of Technical Staff — Diffusion Model to advance the frontier of generative modeling.
You will work on cutting-edge diffusion and flow-based models for image, video, and multimodal generation, pushing model quality, efficiency, and scalability. This role combines deep research thinking with strong engineering execution — from designing novel algorithms to training and deploying models at scale.
Your work will directly shape next-generation generative AI systems used by researchers, developers, and real-world applications.
This is a high-impact role for engineers and researchers who want to push the limits of generative models in both theory and practice.

-
Deep understanding of deep learning fundamentals and optimization
-
Proven experience training large-scale models on GPUs/TPUs
-
Strong proficiency in PyTorch or JAX
-
Experience implementing research ideas into working systems
-
Strong mathematical foundation in probability, statistics, and optimization
-

-
Experience with large-scale distributed training
-
Experience in multimodal generation (text-to-image, video, audio)
-
Familiarity with transformer architectures and hybrid models
-
Experience improving sampling speed and generation efficiency
-
Contributions to open-source generative model projects
-
Experience scaling models to billions of parameters
Responsibilities
