Research Scientist – Large Tabular Models (LTMs)
Location: Mountain View, CA (On-site)
Overview --------
Most of today's generative AI is built for text, images, and video.
Enterprise data isn't.
The world's most valuable data lives in tables: customer records, transactions, financial systems, telemetry, operational data, and business workflows. Today's generative AI stack wasn't designed to learn efficiently from this kind of information.
At Granica, we're building Large Tabular Models (LTMs)—foundation models that learn natively from structured and relational enterprise data.
Our research is led by Prof. Andrea Montanari (Stanford) and focuses on one central question:
How can we build generative AI that learns efficiently from tabular data?
That requires solving problems well beyond model architecture, including intelligent data selection, dataset augmentation, representation learning, and information-preserving compression.
If you're excited about inventing the algorithms that make Large Tabular Models possible, we'd love to talk.
What You'll Work On -------------------
- Develop new machine learning algorithms for Large Tabular Models.
- Research methods for selecting, augmenting, and compressing training data without losing information.
- Build representation learning techniques for structured and relational datasets.
- Prototype and evaluate new approaches for generative modeling over enterprise data.
- Design rigorous experiments and benchmarks to measure progress.
- Collaborate closely with Prof. Andrea Montanari and Granica's research team to translate research into production systems.
What We're Looking For ----------------------
- PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
- Strong research record in machine learning.
- Experience developing new models or learning algorithms.
- Hands-on experience with PyTorch or JAX.
- Strong programming skills in Python.
- Ability to turn research ideas into working systems.
- Experience in structured learning, representation learning, generative modeling, probabilistic modeling, statistical learning, or scalable ML systems is particularly relevant.
Bonus -----
- Research on tabular, relational, or graph data.
- Experience with diffusion or other generative modeling approaches.
- Publications at NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, COLT, KDD, or related venues.
- Open-source or production ML systems experience.
Compensation & Benefits ===========================
- Competitive salary, meaningful equity, and performance bonus for top performers
- 401(k) with company match, comprehensive health coverage, and unlimited PTO
- Daily catered meals in our Mountain View office
- Support for research, publication, and conference participation
At Granica, you'll help build the next generation of enterprise AI—from exabyte-scale data infrastructure, Large Tabular Models (LTMs), and stateful AI agents. Together, we're creating the infrastructure that enables enterprises to own their data, own the intelligence built on it, and scale both efficiently.
