Applied AI Scientist (Senior/Principal)
Sygaldry Technologies, San Francisco
The role
Our AI & algorithms team develops quantum approaches to training, inference, and reasoning, including quantum-native generative modeling. Much of this work runs today on classical hardware at small scale, built so that results transfer directly to quantum processors as they come online.
Increasingly, that research meets real problems. Partner organizations bring workloads from their own domains, and someone has to carry our methods into each one and find out how well they hold. That is this role. You are a computational scientist who takes scoped collaboration and does the technical work: understand the partner's problem well enough to know where our methods can genuinely help, prototype, benchmark against what they already trust, and be the technical voice in the room when results are discussed.
Our partnerships managers own the relationships and run the programs; our research scientists develop the algorithms. You produce the evidence.
