Work With Us

At Liquid, we’re not just building AI models—we’re redefining the architecture of intelligence itself. Spun out of MIT, our mission is to build efficient AI systems at every scale. Our Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs) operate where others can’t: on-device, at the edge, under real-time constraints. We’re not iterating on old ideas—we’re architecting what comes next.

We believe great talent powers great technology. The Liquid team is a community of world-class engineers, researchers, and builders creating the next generation of AI. Whether you're helping shape model architectures, scaling our dev platforms, or enabling enterprise deployments—your work will directly shape the frontier of intelligent systems.

This Role Is For You If:

• You thrive in high-autonomy, high-context environments and know how to turn vague questions into concrete experiments

• You’ve worked on foundation models beyond just LLMs, and you understand the nuances of designing for real-world signals and feedback

• You’re comfortable creating new training setups, loss functions, or evaluation methods tailored to customer-specific metrics

• You have deep experience with the PyTorch ecosystem (including distributed training and third-party libraries), and can move quickly from prototype to production-scale experiments

• You’re energized by tight feedback loops with customers and believe that experimentation should be aligned with product objectives

• You can think at multiple altitudes—from quick-turn tests to longer-term architecture bets—and know when to scale each

What You'll Actually Do:

• Own the end-to-end experimental process: from hypothesis generation to results analysis to iteration

• Design and run structured experiments to evaluate model performance across customer-specific metrics

• Develop tooling and workflows that let the team rapidly test hypotheses and scale promising directions

• Work closely with research, infra, and customer teams to prioritize experimental goals and interpret results

• Translate customer needs into actionable model improvements via principled experimentation

• Contribute to building a culture of fast, reproducible, and product-aligned model research

What You'll Gain:

• Lead high-leverage experimentation at the intersection of foundational model research and real-world customer impact

• Hands-on, research-driven role where you'll own the end-to-end lifecycle of designing, running, and analyzing experiments that push forward our hybrid model systems

• Your work will directly shape how our models perform in customer contexts, with an emphasis on measurable impact over theoretical gains

• You’ll collaborate closely with infra, modeling, and customer teams to ensure that experimental insights are actionable and aligned with product goals

About Liquid AI

Spun out of MIT CSAIL, we’re a foundation model company headquartered in Boston. Our mission is to build capable and efficient general-purpose AI systems at every scale—from phones and vehicles to enterprise servers and embedded chips. Our models are designed to run where others stall: on CPUs, with low latency, minimal memory, and maximum reliability. We’re already partnering with global enterprises across consumer electronics, automotive, life sciences, and financial services. And we’re just getting started.
