Machine Learning Researcher

Overview

With Etched ASICs, we have fundamentally different constraints than existing AI chips. We don’t have the same batch-size-latency tradeoff as GPUs. We can parallelize workloads and digest large contexts much more efficiently than GPUs.

Sohu enables entirely new research directions and products. When our chips come out, these use cases need to already be mature and visceral. Whether real-time video, agents, speculative decoding, or new tree search algorithms, we must create the market for our hardware. In this role, you will lead efforts on research directions that trade compute for improved understanding and speed, particularly with agents and new search techniques.

• Combine multi-agent with RAG to improve the quality of QA
• Evaluate new system on standard benchmark
• Design new and verifiable benchmark for agent reasoning
• Design LLM content understanding based recommendation systems

• Past projects or publications with substantial impact in ML and/or CV (quality > quantity)
• Strong hands‑on engineering skills, particularly with python, pytorch, CUDA, DDP/FSDP
• Deep understanding of open and closed source model architectures and open source libraries for transformer training and inference
• Familiarity with Llama Index, Lang Chain, MetaGPT, CoT, ToT, and beam search
• Ability to think outside the box and make tradeoffs considering feasibility, quality, and time‑to‑ship of a project

• Knowledge graphs
• Name entity recognition
• Tool calling and coder LLMs
• SWE bench & SWE agent

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.
