Research Scientist Graduate (High-Performance Computing (Algorithm Acceleration)- Vision AI Platform-San Jose - 2025 Start (PhD)

Team IntroductionThe Doubao (Seed) Vision AI Platform team focuses on the end-to-end infrastructure development and efficiency improvement for Seed vision-based large model development, including the data pipeline construction and training, evaluation data delivery, and full lifecycle efficiency enhancement for visual large models such as VLM, VGFM, and T2I. This also encompasses large-scale training stability and optimization for acceleration, as well as large model inference and multi-machine multi-card deployment.

We are looking for talented individuals to join our team in 2025. As a graduate, you will get unparalleled opportunities for you to kickstart your career, pursue bold ideas and explore limitless growth opportunities. Co-create a future driven by your inspiration with ByteDance.Successful candidates must be able to commit to an onboarding date by end of year 2025.We will prioritize candidates who are able to commit to the company start dates. Please state your availability and graduation date clearly in your resume.Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. We encourage you to apply early.Candidates can apply for a maximum of TWO positions and will be considered for jobs in the order you applied for. The application limit is applicable to ByteDance and its affiliates' jobs globally.

Responsibilities:

1. Develop algorithm acceleration technologies for text-to-image/text-to-video models through knowledge distillation, model architecture redesign (dynamic MoE routing/sparse attention), and parameter-efficient design (low-bit quantization) to achieve order-of-magnitude efficiency gains.
2. Lead generative model innovation with focus on diffusion acceleration (sampling step reduction/latent optimization), autoregression model efficiency.
3. Collaborate cross-functionally to identify performance bottlenecks, optimize vision models via algorithmic breakthroughs, and enhance ByteDance's product capabilities.
