Mirendil

Mirendil is a tech-first company focused on solving core bottlenecks that unlock step-change acceleration across science and technology. Our first goal is to democratize frontier AI R&D across scientific disciplines. We are building a frontier AI research company and training our own models end-to-end.

The Role

We are looking for an engineer to work at the intersection of research and systems on our pretraining stack. You'll contribute across the full pipeline, from data processing and model architecture to distributed training infrastructure and low-level optimization, and help determine how we scale our next generation of models. Some example areas you might work on (not limited to):

  • Implement and iterate on model architectures, training algorithms, and optimizer research in large-scale pretraining runs

  • Scale distributed training jobs across thousands of GPUs

  • Optimize training throughput for novel attention mechanisms, architecture variants, and compute efficiency improvements

  • Design and build large-scale data pipelines for efficient model consumption and dataset curation

  • Run and analyze scientific experiments to advance understanding of how architecture and data choices affect model capabilities

If you're excited about working across research and engineering to push the frontier of what large models can do, we'd love to hear from you.

We offer a base salary of $300,000–$400,000 USD and a meaningful equity grant, depending on experience and background, along with competitive benefits.

Skills and AI tools this role asks for

AI Research

Questions you could be asked

  1. Tell me about a research question you investigated. What did you find?
  2. How would you decide a model or AI system is ready to ship?
  3. Tell me about a time a model underperformed in production. How did you find out, and what did you change?

Adapt your resume

  • List these exact terms on your resume: AI Research. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
  • Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them — a tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
  • Lead with what you built, trained or shipped — this role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
