About Gensyn
Gensyn is a protocol and network for decentralised machine intelligence. Its infrastructure includes AXL for peer-to-peer communication between machine-learning nodes, CHAIN for persistent on-chain identity, and REE for cryptographic verification of training, inference, and settlement computations. Gensyn also operates Delphi, an on-chain information market where humans and AI agents trade predictions settled by verified AI oracles. The organization serves AI researchers, developers, machine-learning nodes, agents, and participants in decentralised markets.
Skills
About the Role
You will contribute to original research in deep learning, focusing on modular architectures, verifiability, continual learning, and scale. You will design and prototype novel neural network architectures for decentralized compute environments and collaborate on publications and projects with academic and industry researchers targeting top-tier AI venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR.
Requirements
- Currently enrolled in a PhD program or, in exceptional cases, in a Master’s program in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field
- Prior experience conducting original research, ideally with authorship or co-authorship on ML papers
- Strong understanding of deep learning fundamentals
- Experience working with at least one major framework such as PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow
- Self-directed and able to thrive in a high autonomy environment
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Research experience in distributed systems, continual learning, or modular neural architectures (preferred)
- Desire to contribute to open research and collaborate with the broader ML research community (preferred)
- Experience at the intersection of cryptography and machine learning (nice to have)
Responsibilities
- Contribute to original research in deep learning focusing on modular architectures, verifiability, continual learning, and scale
- Design and prototype novel neural network architectures for decentralized compute environments
- Collaborate on publications and joint projects with academic and industry researchers targeting top-tier AI venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR
