The Role

We are looking for engineers obsessed with efficiency. At Nair Engineering, we aren't training massive models on cloud clusters. We are taking state-of-the-art medical intelligence and compressing it into a consumer device.

You will work on the bleeding edge of quantization, sparsity, and speculative decoding. Your code will run on the NPU, GPU, and CPU of mobile devices, delivering life-saving insights with 0ms latency and 100% privacy.

About You

You don't need a PhD (though we like them). You need to have strong experience with building your own langauge models and a willingness to learn our own Swift/Metal based workflow. It is preferred that you understand healthcare workflows. Patient care is the point of this project, our language models will be ineffective without an understanding of this.

• Strong experience with Python, Pytorch, and Swift.
• Good understanding of the mathematics and worksflows of LLMs and other machine learning models (the more the better).
• High GPA: A GPA isn't a measure of intelligence, but rather a measure of discipline, hard work, and committment. If you can't show up to a simple class, you likely won't show up to meetings and you'll waste our time. Exceptions will be made, of course.
• Fast Learner: if you can't learn fast you'll likely fall behind. Learning fast isn't about becoming a genius in the topic, it's about knowing enough to move forward. Move fast, minimize mistakes, and ship.

The Role

This isn't building a weather app in SwiftUI. This is building experimental frontier models that save lives. Swift/Metal has little documentation when it comes to machine learning, you will need to learn fast. You will need to decode raw Pytorch code and learn to translate it into Swift/Metal. This is hard. We don't expect to even fill this role.

The Stack

• Deep Swift: Decoding messy Pytorch, building new engines, experimenting to the max.
• Metal: Writing custom shaders for compute tasks.

Requirements

• You have built custom metal shaders: can be for video games, ML, or other novel applications.
• You have strong problem solving skills. Math at UF should be a joke and solving puzzles should be fun for you.
• You care about efficiency: many people depend on Vivral, we need our models to be faster than fast, quicker than quick.

The Role

Vivral will only get more complex with time... You will be managing Vivral's internal architecture under the strict "no internet" rule. This isn't a wrapper.

About You

You understand efficient memory allocation and are willing to do some damage control.

• Experience in Swift (not much is required)
• Experience with on-device databases (SQLite, Realm) at a low level.
• Understanding of OS primitives (mutexes, threads, virtual memory).

The Aesthetic

We don't do vibecoded websites. We want something unique, experimental, and reminiscent of the future the 80s dreamt of.

I (Ak) thought of Vivral in Epcot, Disney (specifically Spaceship Earth). Retrofuturism represents what our parents (or grandparents idk how old you are) imagined the future to be: it's time that we make it a reality. Your designs will be completely original yet drawing some inspiration from classic retrofuturistic art (think Epcot, Back to the Future, Blade Runner, etc).

The Role

You must be able to draw or paint, this is a hard must. You must also have some experience with digital art.

Requirements

• Portfolio Required: If you don't submit a portfolio, we won't read your email. Your portfolio doesn't have to be related to our design, we just want to see what you can do.
• Some experience with digital design: Blender, Cinema4D, etc.
• A willingness to experiment. We don't want cookie cutter artists.
