ML Research Engineer — Inference & GPU Kernels

Location not statedSoftware & dataContract · remote

About the role

From AfterQuery’s listing.

Pay: $135/hour

We're building a research cohort of senior domain experts in ML inference and GPU kernel engineering — spanning inference serving systems, kernel optimization, and large-model deployment infrastructure — to help evaluate how frontier AI models reason about hard, real-world expert-level problems. This is research-and-evaluation work, not production engineering: you'll be defining what "correct" and "excellent" look like on problems you already know deeply.

  • Domain: Machine Learning / AI
  • Experience: 6–10 years
  • Education: PhD/Doctorate, or Master's with a strong research record

Candidates who meet the requirements and provide the requested materials will be prioritized for review. As part of this process, we conduct thorough background checks. Please apply only if you meet these requirements — candidates who meet fewer than 70% of the stated qualifications may be flagged for misrepresenting their professional experience, which could affect eligibility for future project staffing.
