Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Design and implement Visual-Inertial SLAM pipelines, dynamic obstacle avoidance, and predictive path planning. Optimize state-estimation and navigation algorithms for low-compute edge deployment on robotic platforms.

Develop and evaluate high-resolution tactile sensing and dexterous manipulation systems by processing tactile and force-torque data, implementing slip-detection and compliant control, training multi-fingered grasping policies, integrating solutions into robotic platforms, and conducting experiments to validate performance.

Lead product strategy and roadmap for AI and robotics products, translating VLA and agentic RAG breakthroughs into customer value, defining safety/usability/performance metrics, working with enterprise adopters, and driving cross-functional delivery.

Optimize, compress, and distill large language and vision models for on-device inference. Build pipelines for distillation and hardware-specific compilation, and benchmark performance across NPU/GPU architectures.

Design, orchestrate, and optimize large-scale LLM pre-training across 1,000+ GPUs. Implement 3D parallelism, manage GPU clusters (SLURM/Kubernetes), optimize InfiniBand/RDMA networking and memory, and automate checkpointing and failure recovery for long training runs.

Build and operate MLOps and agentic infrastructure: manage model registries, continuous training loops, and A/B testing; deploy agents as scalable Kubernetes microservices; and create observability dashboards tracking token usage, latency, and agent reasoning.

Design and integrate vision and audio models into agent reasoning loops, optimize streaming latency for voice-to-voice interactions, and architect multimodal RAG systems to retrieve insights from videos and PDFs.

Drive institutional liquidity and TVL by sourcing, pitching, and onboarding market makers, CEX VIPs, prime brokers, and large allocators. Build strategic partnerships, structure and close liquidity incentives, and collaborate with product/tokenomics to design institutional yield strategies tied to TVL KPIs.

Lead and manage the design team to create intuitive UX for a consumer-facing Web3 dApp. Define UX strategy, improve onboarding and engagement for creators, conduct user research, collaborate cross-functionally, and integrate industry best practices.

Lead surveillance of on-chain and off-chain trading to detect market abuse. Build statistical models and heuristics, investigate flagged transactions, trace fund flows across platforms, design dashboards and reports, and collaborate with engineering to integrate and automate advanced detection tools for protocol governance.
