Fundamental is an AI research lab pioneering the future of enterprise decision-making. Our flagship model, NEXUS is the world's most powerful Large Tabular Model (LTM) - purpose-built for the structured records that contain trillions of dollars in business value. With $275m in funding from leading investors and trusted by Fortune 100 companies, Fundamental is giving businesses the Power to Predict.
At Fundamental, you'll work on unprecedented technical challenges in foundation model development and build technology that transforms how the world's largest companies make decisions. This is your opportunity to be part of a category-defining company from the ground-up. Join the team defining the future of enterprise AI.
As part of the Research team, you will contribute to ideation, designing, implementing, and evaluating breakthrough Machine Learning models that will be deployed in the real world. Your work will be focused on the entire lifecycle of the models. Alongside the rest of the ML researchers in the team, you will be responsible for our models’ performance in every meaning of this word - whether this means achieving high evaluation scores through novel architectures and training methods, establishing the evaluation protocols themselves, or implementing methods that allow for efficient training and inference. The greatest research is done through solid engineering, so alongside the research you will also take part in ensuring that our research code allows swift, rapid development and testing of new ideas - both your own and the rest of the team’s.
