Databricks is hiring a Principal Research Scientist to lead its AI Scaling team, which works on LLM training and inference efficiency. The role sets the scaling research roadmap, covering optimizer design, low-precision training and inference, model adaptation and distributed training, and works with systems, product and engineering teams to move results into the platform. The posting asks for a track record leading a research team with industry impact, hands-on Python and PyTorch work, and published research; the mix of independent research and production systems is distinctive.
