About Sygaldry
Sygaldry Technologies is building quantum-accelerated AI servers to exponentially speed up training and inference for AI. By integrating quantum and AI were accelerating the path to superintelligence and engineering the conditions for it to scale efficiently and operate affordably. Sygaldry AI servers combine multiple qubit types within a single fault-tolerant architecture to deliver the combination of cost scale and speed necessary for advanced AI applications. We pioneer new domains in physics engineering and AI tackling the hardest challenges with a grounded optimistic and rigorous culture. Were looking for individuals ready to define the intersection of quantum and AI and drive its profound global impact.
About the Role
Generative AI is transforming whats computationally possiblebut its also exposing the limits of classical hardware. Diffusion models produce extraordinary results yet their iterative sampling and high-dimensional score estimation create computational bottlenecks that scale poorly.
We believe quantum computing offers a path through these bottlenecks. As an ML Research Scientist youll work at the frontier of generative modeling and quantum acceleration developing the theoretical foundations and practical implementations that connect these fields. Youll identify where quantum approaches can provide genuine advantage in generative workflowsnot incremental improvements but structural speedups rooted in the mathematics of these models.
What Youll Work On
Generative Model Architecture & Efficiency
Advance state-of-the-art diffusion and score-based generative models
Analyze computational bottlenecks in sampling denoising and likelihood estimation
Develop and benchmark novel solver methods for diffusion ODEs / SDEs
Quantum-Classical Integration
Identify mathematical structures in generative models amenable to quantum speedup
Prototype hybrid workflows where quantum subroutines accelerate classical pipelines
Rigorously benchmark theoretical versus practical advantage in realistic workloads
Research to Production
Translate research insights into scalable implementations
Collaborate with quantum hardware teams to inform architecture requirements
Build systems that make quantum-accelerated generation accessible to practitioners
You May Be a Good Fit If You
Have deep expertise in diffusion probabilistic models score matching or related generative methods
Understand the mathematical foundations : SDEs ODEs Langevin dynamics probability flow
Are experienced with ML frameworks (PyTorch JAX) and efficient inference implementation
Question assumptions and validate with rigor following interesting threads wherever they lead
Communicate complex ideas clearly across research communities
Are excited to work on problems no one has solved before
Strong Candidates May Have
Published research on diffusion models score-based generation or neural ODE / SDE methods
Experience optimizing sampling efficiency (DDIM DPM-Solver consistency models etc.)
Familiarity with numerical methods for differential equations
Understanding of quantum algorithms and computational complexity
Background in high-dimensional probability or stochastic processes
Why This Matters
Your work accelerates the path to quantum superintelligence. Each quantum component integrated each AI model enhanced each instruction set optimized brings us closer to a future where intelligence and quantum mechanics are inextricably intertwined. Were not building incremental improvements - were creating exponential transformations that will make AI more affordable sustainable personalized and fundamentally more capable.
How Were Different
Were building the infrastructure for quantum superintelligence and pioneering new domains at the intersection of physics engineering and AI. At Sygaldry curiosity and intellectual courage drive our work. We approach ambitious challenges with a grounded optimistic and rigorous culture and know that kind people build the strongest teams. We prioritize mission over ego and collaborate openly with a strong sense of shared purpose. We dream big yet we execute with a love of detail. Were looking for scientists engineers and operators to forge new paths with us at the intersection of quantum and AI.
